SquareEnix literally FORCES me to buy my way through these stupid story fights by having to go to their online store and purchase the "Tales Of Adventure..." books in order to bypass these STUPID, STUPID forced NPC fight seqences.

IMO;
They are NOT fun.
I do NOT enjoy them.
I should be able to SKIP them without having to open my wallet.

Look, the game makes it stupid easy to play another kit, style or class... so I just don't understand why the developers put their players in a chokehold and shove a particular kit down everyone's throat simply to "eNhAnCe thE StoRy" ...ugh!

There are literally hundreds of optional dungeons, trials and quests in the game that a player can unlock and play IF THEY DECIDE TO... so why, exactly force these stupid fights on your players?

Lack of choices in a MMO is never the right choice.

I guess on the bright side there's plenty of other things I can do until SquareEnix rubs their greedy hands together and lets me buy my way out of their stupid enforced story-combat... otherwise I'll just be lvl 100 stuck at lvl 94 MSQ content, and honestly, I don't even care anymore [stupid cat!]

...just sucks I can't skip it like everything else in this game... its such a arbitrary and stupid choice on their part.
