/r/ffxivdiscussion: XIV is becoming too big MSQ wise?

[Iscah]

MSQ skip sure, but not all the way to Dawntrail, at that point why actually start the game? why not give them max level with full BiS gear too?

An MSQ skip to Dawntrail is fine, so long as it is made clear to the user that it is a skip, and the story will not hesitate to reference back to past events where appropriate.

My longstanding suggestion has been that since Square Enix likely wishes to continue selling story skips overall, they could give vouchers for ONE free story skip and job skip with purchase of Dawntrail. New players can use it or not use it as they wish; old players either have no use for it or can use it on an alt.
