Possible story-based areas for end-game

It's good to see that most of you agree with this topic. The storyline is really what makes FFXI and XIV unique from other MMOs, they incorporate the stories of the game with the content so well. It would be a shame to see ARR follow in the footsteps of today's mainstream MMO where you really don't even know why you're going to an area or running a dungeon in the first place and the sense of playing an rpg is lost. Iirc though GW2 did an open world event recently that opened a new dungeon after the players beat it. I would love to see stuff like this more often, get the players to work together to get something that benefits everybody.

There are other players in GW2? I stopped playing it because there not being anybody around ever in the lvl 30 and below zones lol the stories were also very lackluster, disjointed and boring.

I love the FF storytelling and I hope it stays. If you dont like it you can skip cs or enter thru it fast but I know alot of people who love it and it makes the game worthwhile. Not only do you care more about the game but you start to care more for the NPCs. How many of us cried when we though ol' Lou died to a megaflare to the face? Or when Aerith was run thru by Seph, or the tragic heartrenching scene that was the end of crisis core. Dont get that in many games and certainly not in other MMOs. If there is one thing SE excels at, its storytelling.
