As someone brand new to the game going through all of this right now, I can tell you the game feels like a slog. The story eventually gets good, but the constant run here, talk to someone, run here, talk to another person and repeat that until end game isn't very enjoyable. It doesn't even feel like a Final Fantasy game. At least in other Final Fantasy games, there was game play between story. Besides the random duty, you really are in cut scene mode for 250 hours.

Now I enjoy the game and don't plan on quitting. My only problem is I've met people on other Data Centers, and would like to roll another character on their center, but seriously can't stomach going through these MSQ's and this story again. Once is enough for a life time. I also don't believe the solution should be give them more money than simply them providing a system that if you have any characters on any data center that has completed the MSQ's, you should be able to automatically have completed the MSQ on that account on any new character. Don't care about starting at level 1. I don't need to do another 250+ hours of content I've already done, just to play on another center.
