{Spoiler} Main story woes

[Delphineas]

XIV's story is so much worse than VII. And I hated VII.

Hear me out.

In vii, you could spends DAYS at the Golden Saucer, ignoring Metoer,, the planet wide apocaypse. You culd spend your time snowboarding or....whatever. I didn't spend much time there.


I miss the Gold Saucer. At least it was optional. Here? It's not. AND it is very weakly justified.


The Ifrit storyline was ok. Set the tones, setting, everything. But it's been downhill from there.


The leadup to Titan dragged way too long, and felt largely pointless. I beat Ifrit, but have to prove myself to 5 different peple before they even tell me how to GET to him??? And even then, Ishtola is the one who makes it possible..........

Then stuff happens, then Garuda is said to be the next big threat, but we need an airship to get to her. Now, I'm a bit fuzzy on primal lore here, but doesn't Garuda hold sway over the dragons in the north, and pretty agressive for a primal to boot? So WHY THE FUCK DO I SPEND TEN LEVELS MIRED IN ELVEN POLITICS ABOUT HERETICS!?!? I play a paladin. Try to RP her as such. But half of thesse quests were driving me up the wall.

Your "heretics" may destabilize your country, but Garuda will DESTROY it! Just tell me where the airship is!!!!



Then I need to retrieve it myself, and Alphinaud is a general d-bag once I do. At this point, about the only thing I care about storywise is what happened to Minfilia. Anyone else this disappointed with the main storyline? Does it ever get better?
