The story may not be for all, I for one like the story as it is... you can't have it all in this game and this time the story is a slightly bit different than previous expansions that also where different.

Honestly there has been I don't like this, wrong impact, and whatever BS about every single expansion in this game and that is including every single bit of side content.

It is beating a dead horse syndrom, and that people want to waste alot of time making the threads thats 3 posts long and more to it is really their problem of their own as well as the their followers in a figure of speech.

Final Fantasy has some many edges and cuts and the likes...

It would be like telling a FFVII lover to love FFXII or the likes... in which they said they hated.

And that is just how it is, FFXIV is a themepark, and as for one of those who have only played one other FF game than FFXIV, then I can only say I love it all, for those of you have been playing multiple and hating multiple, you will never be fully satisfied with FFXIV as in like ever, and that is really all that can be said about that as it is, and frankly enough most forget the real point about FFXIV and MMORPG's in general that the content is driven by the players aside of the MSQ, and that is why you are playing the game most of all or should be, else you would be in constant denial and may as well just find another game to play.

I can recommend Baldurs Gate 3, which I sinked more than 500 hours into myself at the side while waiting for more stuff to do in FFXIV.

Can assure you guys can spend 1000 hours plus in that singleplayer gamer if so ( it is really good as well ).
