Slow the heck down and enjoy the story, those fights aren't exactly going anywhere, and there's not much too them.

Too many new players come from games where the story isn't anything special and there's emphasis on just getting to the end.
While that does exist in FFXIV to some extent, it's not nearly the same driving force as a new player may realize.

That being said, I don't reasonably expect a new player to actually be reading this post so I'm talking the aether, perhaps.
Precisely. People are so used to the way other garbage mmos are structured. They don't understand there is actually a great experience to be had on the journey. This game IS NOT all about the end game.
