I agree but I would like more even simple cutscenes to quests.
Now they have none which is a tremendous downgrade when compared to XI.

The cutscenes in small npc quests were the entire reason I did them. They also had their own music which is another aspect XIV completely lacks.

The missions are a rare exception but because they cover about 0.00000001% of in-game content they really don't make up for the lack of story and cutscenes elswhere in the game.

SE tried to fool us by doing a handful of npc quests but they turned out to be just more copy pasted leves.
