Endwalker? More like Escort Walker

[Thi]

It was nice the first time. Tedious every other time.

What's even worse is the sneak behind and follow people crap.

[Necrotica]

The non combat minigames are definitely getting tiresome.

[PredatoryCatgirl]

As much as I've been defending SE recently...yeah, escort missions are never a good thing, regardless of how they're implemented.

Almost as if the story is kinda important in this game and maybe if you're speeding through it you're doing it wrong (in this case anyway-I blame no one for skipping through post-ARR and the more boring parts of Stormblood).

So THAT story isn't important then? Only the parts of the story you say are? I hate to tell you this, but I've gained two levels so far in the xpac and I think I've had like 10 fights with animals in the wild. I gained almost the entirety over over two levels from doing quests where I run to someone and talk, then watch a cutscene, then run to the next guy and talk and watch a cutscene. I'm straight up bored right now.

hah i saw this meme comming, i made a joke earlier about how yoshi wanted two more weeks to get the stealth stalking perfect

its a joke

Also that one thing with the takedowns made me think of tenchu

[Missbone]

Im not gonna lie, its allready for me the shittiest new feature from this expansion and the worst feature ever added since the release of this game. Its crap and u cant even take shortcuts via teleport because you will lose the npcs following you and return to the start to get them back. Biggest bullshit ever

[vitamin_w]

I really don't understand how anyone likes this mechanic. I mean I guess walking with people around town is okay but this red light/green light stay hidden BS is really getting old and is starting to adversely affect my enjoyment of this expansion despite how strong the story is. Surely I'm not the only one that feels this way.

[Aelan]

Agree with the sentiment that the first time, it was cool. The third time within one XP level was tedious...

I also sat in a 20 minute duty queue while running MSQ and accepted near the end of one of these escorts only to find I had lost quest progression. Decent idea, awful implementation.

[MaelleRiou]

They'd be better if the NPCs didn't randomly ascend into the sky or fall into the ocean and get stuck.

[Brill_]

First couple were fine, but it got old fast. Can't mount, can't use aetheryte. If DF pops mid quest, you have to go back and start all over again.
