Im not ready for Endwalker

[_Pigzig]

I haven't played since Heavensward.
I have a lot of Stormblood unlockables like Omega undone and have hardly begun Shadowbringers MSQ. Plus I skipped a lot of Realm Reborn stuff as well.

Anyone else know this feeling? It'll probably be months before I do Endwalker. I guess I can still swap to Viera.

Just do the things at your own pace. Personally, I still have yet to try and clear any Ultimates, BA, DRS, and some other stuff, but I'm just taking my time until EW comes out. Don't worry that you haven't done everything yet, it's not going anywhere, for the most part.

You can do the Shadowbringers MSQ in few days if you watch cut scenes, or over 2 weeks if you do sidequests. The patches have a lot of lengthy cut scenes but should also not take that long.

The raids like alex, omega and the ones from shadowbringers should only take a day each.

You can skip the optional dungeons, trials and alliance raids and do them later without much problem. Most optional dungeons involve you revisiting a dungeon you already did with some differences and trials don't need to happen right away to fit with the lore.

Alliances raids hardly relate to the main story so that even if you do it years later, they would probably still make sense. The exceptions are Crystal Tower (which you will understand why now) and the ones from Stormblood because a few references won't make sense once the events of Endwalker start.

You only need to do what you want to do and enjoy doing.

The only thing that progresses you is of course the MSQ - everything else is for want of a better word - filler.

Well things that you don't have to do like Coil's of Bahamut the writer told you to do for the Endwalker story.
Atm unsynced makes it pretty easy to do that type of stuff if you can't find a party but after they changed that getting that stuff done when Endwalker is out is gonna be so much harder.

It was just a suggestion for lore background, not a requirement. There are plenty of playthroughs posted on YouTube with the quest dialog in addition to the cutscenes so players can watch those if they don't want to do the raid fights.

But definitely Coils and Alexander Normal are easy enough to do unsynced with a small group of players that aren't experienced raiders. Omega Normal raids would be more challenging for those who don't normally raid but can still be done unsynced.

I fail to see the issue.

If you like the story then you do everything at your own pace.
If you like the content and not the story you skip everything.

If you like both that's pretty tough shit.

Good luck either way.

It took me more than 200 hours gameplay for me to finish heavenward, i enjoy it so much and another 200 hours until i finish shadowbringer, i blame golden saucer for 50% of them especially triple triad card

I mean most of it I do enjoy which is the thing. I realize the game is less endgame focused than WoW which is a good thing in my opinion.

For those people that reached the endgame ages ago they are probably bored and ready. For new and returning players Endwalker seems like something in the far distance, there is a lot of other stuff that I want to do first.
