Diehard FF fan here. I love cool stories and fighting epic battles. I've been running a raid team in WoW, and regretted not having time to reach endgame in FFXIV. So I quit WoW hoping to finally make that happen.

I dusted off my character who last burnt out at the end of the 40-50 storyline. I spent three weeks trying to grind through the 2.1-2.55 story.

- The first 10 hours of dialog were tolerable. (Can I play the game now?)

- The next 10 hours of dialog I wanted to shoot myself. But I forced my way through it.

- The last 10 hours, I still wanted to shoot myself.

With 8 quests left of 2.55 I decided to look at the quest list HW held in store. 95 quests already - the same number I just suffered through.

Screw that, I'm done. I love story, but not THIS much story. I need some gameplay to break it up, for gods' sake! I wanted to see XIV's endgame, but no game is worth that grind.

Sorry, Square-Enix. It breaks my heart but I can't play this game.
