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.

Don't worry about them. The usual comeback is "go play something else" if you ever decide to criticize this game, especially it's story. Just because you don't like one aspect of the game, doesn't mean you cannot or don't like other aspects.

I couldn't get a friend to keep playing this game because of the story roadblocking them. They had to go through tens of hours of story to actually play the game with me, and they got burned out and decided to quit. I made a thread about it too, people here told me my friend was made up and I should "go play something else".

You kinda hurt yourself doing that. The story and leveling experience is 95% of the game, there's barely anything to do at max level. You basically paid to be bored faster.

More power to you though.

It is not. I haven't played as long as others, but I have over 4000 hours played, and I did the story, didn't skip anything, read sidequests too believe it or not. The majority of my time spent in this game was definitely not doing the story. Nor was anyone else who plays this game regularly.
