Story quests

[Babette]

Just because i wonder...

Do Square Enix realise that the story is soooo boring ? I mean, really, i have to disconnect my brain to do story quests, it is just *ctalk to pnj 1, talk to pnj 2... talk to pnj 100" then go at the other side of the world and kill two mobs, then come back and talk to pnj 101....

Seriously, what is it with these quests, isn't there a better way to tell a story ?
Are those 36000 story quests really usefull ?

Will Square Enix, one day, stop it ? Or will we get another 36000 boring quests ?
At the beggining, i read every texts, but quickly, i started to press "escap" as much as possible because it's so annoying. i do HATE story quests ><

Do they play their game ? Are they having fun with it ?

Not sure if serious. Done quest line 5 times so far. Ff is heavy story driven. 1.0 quest line IMO is superior but I like the main scenario.

I AM serious.
I would like to recruit you to do my story quests, if you like it...
I would love being able to say to pnj "no, do it yourself". SE should really think about it !

I can't tell exactly what happens since i stopped reading, i only complete it for unlocking dungeons. but it's very hard for me to get in, to force myself to do some story quests...

This, for sure, is my opinion, but i don't think i'm the only one thinking it
I saw much better ways to tell a story in a MMO, and most of the time, it didn't require "36000 quests".

Personal opinions. I find this game having the worst storyline in FF history. It's pretty boring.

Some of the side stories like some NPC chat, Hilde, Class/Job quests are interesting but this games MAIN storyline is horrible.
Can't stand the way they talk either.

After a while I stopped caring about the story as the actual gaming aspect of the main story quests is a snoozefest, for the most part. By the time I'm done with the repetitive task the NPCs send me off to I have no brain cells to process the dialog. All I know/remember is that imperials = bad, now there's dragons and still whimpy Ascians.... I can't believe that I remember the 1.0 better since ARR's story should be more fresh in my mind.

I for one have no idea what the story is in this game, I just don't care for it and wish players were given an option for doing short cut quests: Instead of "go talk to A B then C, then back to D" why can't I just get them all condensed? I'm happy to forfeit XP and rewards if it means less of my time wasted just spamming the enter button to skip text I'm not going to read.

The story hooked me enough to level my first char to 50 and I was leveling fast just so I could see the next parts to the story. This is definitely just your opinion.

It's pretty hard to tell a story to someone who doesn't want to listen.

It's pretty hard to tell a story to someone who doesn't want to listen.

It's pretty hard to listen to a story when 90% of the quests 'involved' in the MSQ progression are all filler dialog.

They could have went with the 1.0 method of actual relevant story quests spread every X amount of levels, and then provide you with multiple leveling methods to get between them. Instead here in ARR you're pretty much forced to go through the entirety of the fetch quests since everything is unlocked through the MSQ.

God forbid the amount of times you have to revisit the Waking Sands.
