Do you think lore helps or hinders?

[Alleo]

I do love a deep and rich lore and I like the lore in this game most of the time but I agree that making a restriction or not putting something in the game because of lore is not that great of a reason anymore after Yokai Watch, Hildibrand and others. Just say that you find it ugly, does not want it in your game even if the fans want it and be done with it but trying to say that this is because lore is not really that great of an argument anymore.

One of the things that I did not like was the sudden turn around in the summoner quest about egis..they only wrote that part of summoner lore because they knew that they could not hold onto their promise/tease for new egis and so they suddenly wrote that we could not summon more..Restrictions are fine and okay but please think about those at the creation of the job and not at the end of its leveling process..if they had said it from the very beginning than I would have not felt so annoyed.

I am also finding the lore behind PVP a little strange. Not necessary only the restriction with the city states but that in lore the three city states are nuking it out and everything is still all nice and dandy between them..why not just make it simple and say that there is an nonofficial area which the WoL learns about where people can fight against each other for fame and glory..have some NPCs there that will give you the goods for some marks. Later they could have said that thanks to success of this they got some more areas to fight in..simple and straight the point without any restrictions..
