Are there any story quests that present a battle that is actually challenging? This is a serious question. Every battle I have fought in the story has been a complete joke.

If things will turn out any way like they did in FFXI, you'll be useless/get your ass beat during cutscenes until the very last part of the storyline where you suddenly become important (coughCoP). WoTG changed that by finally making you a major character throughout the entire story, complete with fighting your "doppelganger" from an alternate reality.

As far as Echo persecution, it's not that the early threats were worded badly or unjustly bigged up - they're just on hold for the moment. The lore needs to work up to the calamity right now.

Maybe the other characters in the game just decided to let that stuff go. I mean, getting the treasure island back from the sahagins, figuring out who framed you for stealing a gun from the musketeer guild, getting justice for the kid whose father was stomped by a raging released goobbue, clearing yourself of the woodsin, getting the crystal economy back on track, solving the mystery of the ascian who wandered by without hurting anybody... if it comes down to all of that or surviving a falling moon? I bet they were like, "F*** it, I know my priorities."

Haha, yeah, going off of experience with Final Fantasy XI, which has more or less the same writers...

They'll be coming back to all of this eventually, I'm sure.

Just wanted to chime in...

You guys are absolutely right with your assessment of the situation. Similar questions were answered by Yoshi-P just last week when he was in L.A. to do a slew of interviews with the media and various websites. Basically, the main scenario (the Echo, the Ascians, the Waking Sands, your Path companion, etc.) will continue once the people of Eorzea have figured out how to deal with the coming calamity first.

hahaha besides, my original post had no spoilers besides a useless characters name that is probably never gonna be seen again, everyone else chimed in with all the spoilers hahaha. so technically my OP didnt need a spoiler alert.

The Marauder story line is actually one of the more badass class story line's in the game. Did you actually finish it all before you made a post complaining about it? Me thinks no...The Archer one is pretty good too.
