I tried but its not the game for me

But I just cant stand the main story quest. People keep saying how amazing the story is, just so many people keep saying that. I wish I could see why they say that, are they just parroting what other people say or do they really believe the story is great? To me its just suckfest of crap.

Your mileage may vary. The first arc is generally agreed to be the least exciting but there is no getting past the writing style (every character is a goody two shoes, anime tropes, etc). If you want a more complicated, grey story like the Alliance vs Horde war arc in Cata and MoP, you won't find it here.

The game isn't a replacement MMO for WoW. It's a glorified singleplayer JRPG first with a light side of MMO. If you don't like the JRPG part then you probably shouldn't waste anymore time with FFXIV.
