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

[Divinemights]

I think one of the biggest issues the game currently has is how hard it is to recommend to friends who want to group play. As much as I enjoy the story, a lot of people don't care about it or just want to play with their friends yet are stuck at threading through it to even unlock stuff they can do together.
It would be nice if they could solve this in a way that doesn't break the story progression but allows new players to access high end content through sheer leveling somehow.

For me, I’d rather just start a fresh level 1 character with my friend.
It’s either a nice reset from the usual routine for me, or an opportunity to experience a different starting city storyline again.
