New Player Experience Sucks! - Impending Expansion Problems

[NanaWiloh]

Unenjoyable required content is Square's failure, and I'll never defend it.

And silly to go around thinking you will enjoy every piece of content. I dont enjoy certain required aspects of this game but I toughen up and work through it, Sooner or later you are going run into content you dont like but have to complete. When that happens its complete it and move on or leave game and come back when you can skip it.

People are just pointing out that new players spend over 100 hours on this stuff. It's hardly a "complete it and move on" scenario. We're a captive audience.

If there was a greater sense of, "I'm learning and growing as a player," it might be less of an issue, but so much of it is irrelevant.

This my 2 cents since posts are going all over the place.

Do you have the passion for this game like I do?
Do you look forward to the next thrill of combat like I do?
Do you have the willingness to team with others of different backgrounds like I do?
Do you have the ability to savor and make use of the rewards you earn like I do?
Do you appreciate how you accomplish your victories like I do?

Think about how you want to approach this game before you give up too easily and/or burn yourself out to the seventh hell.
