toxic positivity at its best, either you like the entirety of the game as it is and you are very happy, or you can just play another game, you cant like a certain part and hate another, that's not allowed.

Also FFXIV is an MMORPG before being a story game, might be a good time to put that in your thick skull

"Final Fantasy XIV is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed and published by Square Enix."

No one's saying you can't play and enjoy the game, you just seem to be making it very difficult for yourself.

If you don't like the story, you're welcome to buy a skip, no one is stopping you. I think we're all just very confused why people are complaining at length about this on the forums instead of just doing that.

Ultimately SE is never going to offer skips for free, because they make money off of them, as a trade-off for losing subscription time on the people who buy skips and then get bored after realizing they bought a game and then paid extra not to have to play most of it, or only resub at the beginning of a new raid tier. And that's okay! If you ever have a change of heart there's always NG+ or an alt, but until then we're all happy you're boosting sub numbers for the short time you'll be with us, and your money will go towards more story for the rest of us to enjoy XD
