Square needs to do more showing than telling. and allow the player to play the game.


give more solo and role play instances how does this sound

so we get to the Golden City we have to stop sphene from causing another rejoining or whatever she was doing, as soon as we get there we storm the meso terminal; solo gameplay instance we go in we do a fight and barely get out, in that it is conveyed during gameplay during the action, that brute forcing it as we rightly can do it won't work, so then we do the run around with the dead people the original story did not show this and it causes a disconnect again the WOL has defeated the despair death of the universe defeating sphene in a virtual world should be child's play for them.

more recent

Geode got killed off pretty stupidly surrounded by glitchy robots with 3 paths to run away he sits there and say "take care of everyone" ok my guy guess you just wanted to die
wouldn't it have been nice to play a roleplay instance as him maybe make it to where he only has limited shots but they are strong and we are trying to help people escape if too many people get terminated we fail the instance but after saving enough we have to escape after that if you lose it gives you a he's coke instantly or if you survive it gives you a nod that you won but he's still coke? players would have enjoyed that instead of a goofy CS where he stands there and gets ganked.

or

The new boss we fought was supposed to be immortal but we only Faught it once should have been a solo instance fighting a weaker version of it, once we defeat it we get the CS where he gloats that it respawns infinitely and that it is using aether from the 9th (or wherever the meso terminal is) so we are basically now fighting a star that's potentially a far greater threat than Metion so we get over powered and then the WOL uses the crystal boom trial we defeat him again and in a CS he respawns and now we get the sphene morale speech and so the scions can defeat it while Wuk Lmao and the WOL try to stop Calyx hell he should have had 2 shields and we have an instance where we have to burst dps the shield down while avoiding aoes and we see Wuk face tanking the hits to protect us that would have been kool that would have made me respect Wuk Lmao far better than her bleeding from the hands after striking the shield over and over.

in the end it's an MMO not a movie some peps say it was a 3hr msq before the dungeon and yeah it was full of filler and most of it was not voiced if you want people to watch a movie at least have voice acting....

The 4-5 hr msq would have been better as a 2-3 hr action packed thriller.
