Anyone else used Scenario skip on their first character?

If you can't get past the horrific ARR or overhyped Heavensward (and can afford it) a story skip is probably pretty good for you. You can always go back on an alt and experience it later on without being roadblocked by it on your main for 100 hours or whatever.

Yeah I was surprised how much better it got than my last playthrough, just doing the content I enjoy at my own pace and learning the ropes via exploration.

No, the story is a good bulk of the content and if I wanted to play a game JUST for it's end-game then there are numerous better options on the market. That said you do you. It's your money, I'm not going to tell you how to spend it.

All good. Black Desert was great for that but I just like the fashion and art style of FFXIV much more. And it’s a fun world to explore.
