    Yeah, reading is such a waste of time.

    Sigh.... I always have trouble to undertand why some people like to go to the field of personal offense so easily on gaming comunities. And I shoudn't be posting anything, just report it and nothing more, but can't help but wonder why.

    I dunno OrionInerghem, for me the lore is exactly what I'm looking for. Each quest is solidly grounded in the everyday lives of the NPCs, which makes Eorzea feel like a real place. If the majority of quests were about the new geography (which is five year old news to all the NPCs) it would feel much less real to me than quests based on normal people's real problems (graves needing dug, medical supplies short on the front lines, a bow for the guildmaster's solider buddy). Mundane as it may seem, it sells the world.

    Its true that we have so few answers about the Allagan, but I think the game is providing exactly what you're looking for--hints and whispers about things to come. The quests near the Crystal Tower may seem to have fallen flat, but that's only because the meat of that particular story hasn't been added yet. It would be far less intriguing if we already knew everything there was to know about the Allagans before stepping into the Crystal Tower, right?

    Me too. I was talking in general, got attacked. Shrugs, western attitude i guess

    How superb would be this mmo if every single thing was voiced, even a random static npc. I would have paid attention to the lore or even noticed what the op was talking about lol

    No seriously, i find pretty pathetic any thread about lore on an mmo. Who gives a damn ffs, don't they have something else more important to read or do on their life than spend time understanding the lore of a damned online game?
    Just play logoff and amen.
    (Ye, i obiouvsly skip any text, the only thing i enjoy are real time movie animations with my char. Well voiced nothing to read on a small window, and i will pay some interest about this magic "lore" )

    Not were the older fans and players like to see it go. It feels like there lore little to much in the past not in the present of future writing. To conservative. Music still insane though. It needs a lot more darker with humor and wtf moments and there voice actors need do more of it for a lot game get sense of the characters. Unless they slow motion the game chats as a book. Been spoiled with good tv writing from breaking bad and books and movies and comics in last 8 years.

    Worth remembering that while the tower and all the other bits scattered across the landscape are new to us the npc's have been living with them for five years now. There's only so long they can go "woah! What's that?" before they get used to it being there.
    We've been promised more storyline for 2.1 and 1.5 times as much again for 2.2 a few months later. The story needs to develop, we can't just have it go bosh and land on us all at once, you know most of us would race through it if it did.

    Yes, we are playing an online game, but that doesn't denounce the fact that there is a story unfolding and many people enjoy unraveling it's mysteries. You can, of course, play the way you want, choose to ignore the story and grind away and whatnot, that's how you enjoy the game. But different people like to play different ways. I don't think you should judge someone and call it a pathetic waste of time and call them "losers" for wanting to know the story of a game we play. That is why the story is there in the first place I might add.
