Some questions about the game

[Chikai]

I agree with everything Camalott said but I'd also like to give my feedback about your 4th question. I have a relatively heavy schedule with work and only manage a couple hours per day and not everyday but from my experience it's still possible to progress efficiently. Even though some end-game content is time-consuming, you can do it at your own pace and you'll eventually achieve your game goals. One of the things I enjoy the most about FFXIV is exactly that: you can play the game at your own pace, not having to worry about 'competition'. Play at your own pace and enjoy the game to its fullest!

That is good to know thank you With WoW I felt like everything was a competition. Or maybe that was just how I personally perceived it, I don't know.

I just thought of something else whilst mention WoW. As most people know, many of the quests are kill x or get x items. With FFXIV I am noticing less of these, as well as the main storyline which I feel involved in. As you progress, are the quests varied or do they fall into the same sort of thing as kill x etc? (I understand that it is an MMO so will be quite grindy at times, just wondering on the type of quests).
