All Purchasable Copies of FFXIV Should Have a Level Skip / Story Skip

[ReynTime]

Why would they "need to go through 1~110" all at once, above all else?

Because the friends that got them into the game are too self-centered and crap to join them in sub-cap group content and play together? You know, all the flipping MSQ dungeons and trials, or the 6 sets of 3 alliances, any of the 3 field operations out and their own duties, any of the world bosses, any of 3 trial series, any of Extreme trials which those friends could help clear SYNCED and HAVE FUN TOGETHER taking the new player into that challenge if they're interested, ditto for the 6+ normal raid series or their savage counterpart, or all the non-combat content that they could play together at, etc.
A lot of the older high-end content is still challenging, still fun to learn and clear, and much of the skillset carries over to future content.

There is a ton of content below the current expansion's level cap and since this game is all about syncing everyone for every god damn instance, and item level is really just a key that unlocks higher content you can't do otherwise, this obsession about asking new players to push push push through 400+ hours of MSQ before they do anything with you is the real malice here, not the fact the MSQ is long.

You want to argue syncing down to Lv50 and under sucks, fine. But if you're gonna use that excuse for Lv60, 70, 80, and 90 content as well, you're being a crap "friend". No ifs or buts about it.

I don't care if i'm in the minority who thinks this "prioritize MSQ TIL CURRENT, D00D" mindset is cancerous. It is. And screw anyone who disagrees, quite frankly.
