Friend just started FF14, and he's in the cart scene telling me about how

This games intro is boring and annoying.

I agree too. I'm actually amazed that the intros weren't changed to be something much more involving for the players, like in the original FF14.

If that game did anything right imo, it was it's intros.

FF XIV in general had superior cutscene presentation imo. Take that statement for what its worth as my opinion.

I dunno about the rest of 1.0, but the intros definitely trump 2.0's by a long shot.

I enjoyed both intro's. 1.0 and 2.0. However, opinions will always vary. If your friend (and you for that matter) are bored with the game ... why keep playing? Go find something else to play that you enjoy.

Not sure I'm remembering it right, but I'm sure in 1.0 I had to fight off some big goobue just after the intro started, was a real take your breath away moment that I loved.
Don't get me wrong I love the 2.0 ones but they do seem less dramatic and more a peaceful door into the game

So he created a character & was watching the first few minutes, reading the "what has gone before" & the "why are you here" stories... & he's bored. lulz.

The Ul'Dah parade with a goobbue breaking free of its captivity and causing chaos then battling the player was a really memorable intro to the game for me. That was version 1, and it's one of the things I miss about the old game.

he didnt say his was bored with the game, he said the intro is...so i'm assuming he's just at the start...but yes when i 1st began the game
the intro made me snooze! it's just not engaging at all. but in gridania i got to see moogles be cute and silly...but it's not
engaging in the lease. carriage rides and boat ride with random nods and head shakes, meh. wouldnt let that bring him down
the game gets exciting after the horribly made intro XDDD

At least it wasn't three MagiTech armors walking through snow for like 5 minutes.
