I've already said it isn't. For many reasons, including the fact I actively don't like skip potions because they don't give enough points of attachment. I don't think 0 is helpful and I don't think 100 hours is required, which is why I started to use movie cut since I was imagining a new start option to the game that is about 2 hours long (that gets you the basics of the game and some back story of who you are and what you're doing).
You and your 'movies'. Gawd!

Joking aside though, More cutscenes may help alleviate the issue. But you have to be careful with that as well. People are playing a game, and if theyre watching pre-rendered cut scenes to often rather than playing the game, thatll also cause issues. You can easily see people saying "I bought this game to play, not watch cutscenes!"

We were kind of a nobody when the game starts out. That's the point though. You have humble beginnings, but an extraordinary gift. You over time grow into the WoL role, being central to the events in the story. Youre seen on average being on the same footing as many faction leaders (youre there during negotiations, the faction leaders listen to you and your opinions, rely on your expertise, and treat you as an equal). The game doesnt treat you as a foot soldier.

This isnt like WoW where you forever remain the faceless soldier. Again, in wow youre a hero, where in FFXIV youre the hero
