How is the story boring already at 91?

Do the dungeons and trials, they're actually really good. Just become a story skipper. You won't regret it. I started skipping when I got to the last zone and the experience became more tolerable.

This was also my approach. I just started to skip every scene by the end of the third zone in which the characters had to reiterate their goals and feelings, and it became a much better experience from that point onwards without missing the big plot points.
It really shows how padded DT is.

Scion: Where's Wuk Lumat?
Quest: Speak to Wuk Lamat
Quest: Speak to Wuk Lamat again.
Quest: Speak to Wuk Lamat a third time.
Quest: Find Wuk Lamat
Wuk Lamat: Friendship/Hope/Leadership/Alpacas/Food/Zoom in On fist (Use a roulette wheel to choose)
WoL: Nods in agreement to whatever the roulette wheel chose.

Repeat this for every zone.

The fist-clenching especially went from being an overused trope to happening about three times in as many cutscenes. Also, the sequential nodding with various camera angles and *character says somedumbshit, WoL or someone else shrugs with shit-eating smirk*

FF14 questing has always been boring as hell, 5 expansions in and still there's nothing more than talk to bob, talk to sally at the other end of the map, talk to bob again rinse repeat.

To be honest really underwhelmed with the new maps and how on earth did they miss the story just jumps from early 91 straight to 92. Really you have to spam a dungeon twice with full xp buffs this early in the game just to progress?

So yea feel your pain. Am plodding on hoping things improve. FF14 is always strongest in it's crafting and it's endgame imo so fingers crossed. That said, loving the repeat buff they introduced with gathering :-)
