The Great FFXIV Exodus of 2024

Yeah, but that would mean CBU3 actually putting some thought into blending story and gameplay. Instead, it feels like they’re designing everything for the DAUs (dumbest assumable users), so we get the most basic, paint-by-numbers approach. Heaven forbid they give us anything complex or acknowledge that players might have, you know, skills or brains.

I am brand new to the content and I skip many MSQ cut scenes. I am way behind from the end. I watch some, but not most.

Some really annoying things now, like inventory management and the forced aspect of the MSQ. I have plenty of content to go through though, so I don't see bailing soon, but I am not sure about the truly long term.

Enjoy the ride while it lasts, honestly.
Plenty of long-term players, me included, are just disappointed with the current state of the game and where it's headed.

I was super passionate about the world and the story, bought all the art books and the Encyclopedia and other store items just to support this game and, well, my rose-tinted glasses fell off after the ending of EW and its first few patches.
My sub will run out at the end of January and I don't know if I come back for the next expansion. If they continue with their current direction, then most likely not.
