more options for those of us not lost without the main story please

just forget the whole thing, these forums aren't worth anything and none of you are a community, you are all a bunch of babies who think any opinion that doesnt agree with your own must be opposed nomatter what.

And you sound like a child who can't take opposing opinions.

I didn't even get the opportunity to offer a lending ear and an honest opinion

I like the main story, but I did read the 1.0 story on the wiki and I feel like there were a lot more plot points. There's also an incredible amount of Lore in this game which is nice. There's like 5 umbral eras that we know nothing about still o.O and like everyone said, just treat the main story like sidequests (skip the cutscenes) if you don't like it.

I love FFXIV but the story and its pacing are a wreck. Too many pointless fluff missions, too repetitive. Go to a place, earn their trust (this takes a ton of missions where you do nothing but chores and play fetch), something bad happens, fight guy, boom. Repeat this a bunch of times and if you've been a good boy/girl this year, Santa Claus may just gift you with a dungeon in between!

As bad as FFXI was in some aspects, the stories were done so much better, excluding the mini-addons.
