Anyone gets tired of the level 50 main story quest? Is this a recurring thread?

What seems to happen is that people get stuck in that longs stretch where they were filling in time before the HW launch with a lot of shallow quests. For people that experienced that part when it was new and did it little at a time as patches came out it was easy, but trying to get through all them at one time can seem like an eternity.

I think the stuff between ARR and HW is an absolute nightmare, and it's for that reason I've become conditioned to despise Minfillia, as well as the other Scions to a certain extent. It doesn't help that I've had to run through it multiple times on my alternate characters either (in fact it's become something of a deterrent for me to create more, which is kiiiind of a good thing I suppose). The only thing that makes it all worthwhile is the quest "Before the Dawn" at the end; that one never fails to get me hyped haha.

ARR was total crap. HW and SB? Now those are good. Keep at it and you'll eventually get over the hike.

Exactly! I fell you, it's easy, but boring. I play to have fun, but as Krotoan said, you become a post moogle.

Well, since the post-moogle quests are some of the very best quests in the game I do not quite see the problem with becoming a (virtual) post moogle.

Well you are squeezing two years worth of story content into one big gulp. Some of the missions were interesting, some not so much.

Indeed, when we did those quest, we had 3 months between patches to clear them, but those that are new in 2017, want to reach Stormblood content and this means that often they want to reach there as fast as possible. Rushing fetch quest will drain the soul.

Many people aren't fond of the level 50 MSQ progression exactly because of the running around. You should just hang in there and push through. It was improved a lot in the expansions.

You should do whatever you like, really. Unless you are in a hurry to get to 70, there's no reason why you can't take a break from the MSQ and do other stuff.

ARR really was a lot better after the 1-50 grind, I can't even bring myself to replay the story twice though. It's not even fully voiced, I'll rather play DOS2 or Dragon Age again :P.

Those 130~ fetch quests between ARR and HW is awful&boring. There's almost zero rewards too.
It's about time they erased all fetch quests and increased EXP rewards from MSQ to compensate.

This was suggested by the community, but SE decided that they rather give players the option to pay their way (jump potions) to HW and SB, then remove or change the quests.

Writing and pace of story in this game is not very good, most of the MSQ quests could be cut down and no one woild see the difference, even the latest patch MSQ is stretched to insane level, while being hellishly boring. SE, just stop, make FEW interesting voiced dialogs and cutscenes with few quest battles, thats all, no more this 10-20 "talk to this guy, then again, and again, AND AGAIN!" type of MSQ quests.

We must have been playing different games. I found the 2.x MSQ neither awful nor boring. You actually get lots of rewards from it allowing you to start HW with a full set (or two) of i110 gear. (Many of the rewards were probably not there originally, but added later.)

The MSQ between ARR and HW consist of multiple shorter stories, just like all of ARR. They are in no way worse than the earlier quests (or later for that matter) but are mostly just more of the same.
