Refunded for Heavensward.

All Final Fantasy games are heavily story oriented, even their last MMORPG was heavy on story. On top of this, it was stated prior to the expansion being launched that people would need to complete the main scenario to access Heavensward. There was plenty of time to cancel your pre-order or not buy the game, for those who joined us post-launch.

If you don't care about story, that is fine, there is an option for you. Simply click the escape button on your keyboard and skip the cutscenes, this will save you ample time.

Not non-stop (since I had a job and all and was taking a summer class), but it took me 3 weeks here and there to finish patches 2.1 to 2.55. I'm sorry you felt that way, but the story got really great up to 3.0. I'm sure you will reconsider in the future. Oh, why did you get a refund of Heavensward? If you register the key on your account, you will already get all the benefits of the expansion

Not everyone cares about story and it shouldn't be forced.

Well XIV it is a MMO focused around Final Fantasy and final fantasy is know for story telling, guess they playing the wrong game then.

All rpgs are known for story telling, please try another excuse lol.

Steps of faith for me, I forgot what dungeon he was waiting on. I was doing doing it after reset, not that I planned that because of the roulettes it just happened to be at that time. Still took me an hour for steps of faith, three times (due to people not following directions, ugh).


Why does everyone bring up WoW as if WoW is the only MMO in history? I'm basing this off of every MMO I've played and I've played almost everyone out NA, RU,JP and KR servers/games included. Every MMO has a story, every single one, so using "story" isn't a good excuse. Not everyone cares about story and it shouldn't be forced. Because guess what? Those don't care don't read it and in the end still have zero clue what's going on.

There really should go off some bells if you are playing through the game and notice that EVERYTHING is locked behind your main story.
SE saids you WILL care about your story, it's that simple.

K, lets bring up Final Fantasy XI, Another MMO mind you that the main focus is Story content, if you didn't read it or anything then the game was not to the players liking. FFXIV follows the same concept of a story focused life style with more non-PvE content than its predecessor. But what I am generally saying is, players in FFXIV that don't enjoy the game's story, bypassing where possible, tend to moan about minuscule stuff moreso than the others that do enjoy the story.

To this day, I still fail to understand why people buy an expansion that they know absolutely nothing about.

Not an excuse it exactly the point, don't like playing through story don't play a story driven game.

It doesn't even take that long in retrospect to get to heavensward. But it's just as well, if fetch quests turn you off you're playing the wrong game anyway.

Sorry it didn't work out for you.

People see something and want it without doing research of any kind.
Look at how many people will jump back on WoW just for demon hunter when we barely know anything.
