"In from the Cold" Scenario, any way to skip it?

"In from the Cold"This quest destroyed the magic

Well yeah, Garleans can't use magic. The whole entire point of this scenario was to force you to feel powerless. Ironically, I came to appreciate Magitek a lot more after this scenario and understand now why the Garleans went down the path they did as a nation. It also really drove home just how powerful and legendary our character must be portrayed in Garlean culture because we know we would have steamrolled that whole thing if we had our normal power available.

This quest was garbage. All of the ones that take control away and force me to play as someone else are pretty terrible, this one however is particularly offensive.

- Stealth is FF14 is bad. There is no good way to know what will and will not aggro.
- You are so weak fights drag on and on and on.
> Before you tell me that is the point, Gameplay comes above story in my eyes.
- The minimap is worthless and you really do not know where to go, making this annoyance drag out longer.

I'm not going to quit over it, but it sure as hell left a bad taste in my mouth.

On a side note: The devs are REALLY REALLY proud they discovered escort quests this expac huh?

Gameplay is not above story in this game, they are even if not story being higher as gameplay is arguable being less and less of a focus as classes get simpler and simpler. In fact this whole scenario is meant to meld story with gameplay. BTW, it is pretty easy to tell what will trigger the mobs. You can see which way they are looking. You can practically touch them from the back without triggering them. I didn't aggro a single mob in the duty
