Yes but we should not be forced to pay $50 for it after already payin $60. $110 entry barrier to just start the game is a little bit too steep, for a game with monthly subscription.
Yoshida talked about starting new players in 6.1, where are these talks?

The way they do it is very predatory as well IMO. I've already known several new players who purchase the story skip, only to find that they're character is still stuck at low levels with no way to level them up quickly! It's resulted in several of them quitting the game, one starting over from scratch on a new character having wasted their money and then quitting after, and one to purchase the job skip after only to get frustrated and bored and quit. It's not a good look and it's losing them new players.

I would also like to add that story skip it doesn't include all the blue quests. Materia melding/desynth/etc all have to still be unlocked. IIRC, if you don't know to go unlock the Four Lords quests as an example, you'd have to do that on your own too. So bunches of people story skipping might not even be aware of a large portion of content if they are just rouletting to end game. All that to say, I definitely think the story skip could be improved to make them a bit more complete, especially at its price point. Sure, all of those are optional skills/quests, but when you play the game organically it's easier to be guided to all of those quests as you play.

Can I tell you how to make it cohesive? No. I just know as someone that story skipped on alts, it was extra leg work and I could easily see it being confusing to someone just trying to get to the end. Maybe that's the price they pay for that, not sure. Either way like most things with this game, it could be improved.
