With that said tho, and I don't want to argue with you about your feelings, some people do not care about the story of the game.
    I don't think PaladinLeeds was talking about potion lore, I think they were talking about new players skipping 90% of the story in this story heavy game and then going into the final 10% having no clue what an ascian or a garlean is. What happens when the devs have to dumb the story down to cater for people who don't know the story? (Don't say they won't, because they have already broken many promises to cater to the lowest common denominator, jump potion included)

    Is this thread really needed? It adds nothing to any discussion going on right now.

    When I was a new player, I began to skip somewhere between Titan and Garuda. For me, it wasn't that the story was bad, it was just that there was way to much dialogue. Like there's other things I wanna be doing, and it took 2-4mins each and every single time a cutscene came up to get through it only to be greeted with another cutscene soon after. If the game had voice acting for these cutscenes, it wouldn't have been so bad, but eventually I felt like I was reading a book more than I was playing a game and that bored me. I skipped all the Cutscenes up to Heaven's Ward which was when I began to read/watch them again because of increase vocal scenes. Admittedly, the skipping was mostly out of laziness on my part. I just didn't wanna be bothered to read, and trust me, there's a lot to read. I often get be little'd by other people when I tell them about this. "It doesn't take that much effort to read. A 5th grader could do this" blah blah blah. The game may be a Final Fantasy which revolves around story, but I came to this game for the combat, and the socialness. If I want to know the story, I can read a summary about it on a wiki online. Especially, when considering people encourage you to skip CS and watch them in your Inn room later anyway. I always felt the story was more of a bonus for playing, rather than the soul reason to play.

    From what I can see there are people having a discussion here. So is your comment really needed?
