Itching for a new MMO to get into since the last one I seriously played before it was SWTOR, and EQ2 before that.

The main story was flippin amazing, I liked how the core story had everything else built around it.

The meat of my complaint?

FedEx quests. Hundreds of them.

The debate of the gated content and the expansion is something that cant really be understood until you've actually experienced it.

I didn't wanna burn myself out on the crap quests. Keep in mind of course that I'm already annoyed that a majority of these are ESSENTIAL.

200+ in! Heavensward! But no! Guess what?! Trials! Hard mode! Nope totally not that easy. Cause you gotta do ANOTHER. QUEST. CHAIN. to unlock said hard modes.

No.

Cant stomach more. I learned exactly what gated content is, how the main story goes OUT OF ITS WAY to make you do irrelevant stuff.

At this point I'm glad I haven't subbed up and have 60 days free game time.

TL;DR

FFXIV is crap for new players, dont buy it.
