How did people do Endwalker in 2 days?

Skip cutscenes and dialogue. The story is honestly not really that good in my opinion. I much prefer single player final fantasy stories, but that’s just me.

If you skip the story then your opinion is entirely irrelevant of the story barring that which you have experienced first hand. Not that people care if you skip it or not, just don't have or try and exercise an opinion on it. That goes for everything in the game.

I sat through ARR’s story and that was enough for me to tune out the entire story. I just didn’t like it. In my opinion FF7 and 8 probably have the best stories. XIV would probably be at the very bottom for me. Also, I am allowed to have an opinion.

I mean, ARR is just world building. The bulk of the story comes in later expansions....


That's like saying the hobbit or lotr sucks because the first 2 chapters are boring...


Personally, I found ff8s story terrible. I gave up after the first disk.

HW and SHB are pretty good but my issue is I don't have a say in anything that matters. I also don't like silent protags and I don't care for the cast that much. Only did in HW did is it a journey of friends and they did even more in SHB where they grew to be more likable.

After level 83 if the story in EW, I stopped caring entirely.

The story is pretty poor lol. I don't care about the Ascians, at all.
I hope there is a better villain then them or Zenos in later expansions. I guess I'm just one of few who don't care but enjoy other aspects so no biggie.

Grinded it out in two 20 hours sessions in interest of avoiding spoilers.

Had off from work. Ignored everything except MSQ. Stuck to only my main job. Took about 40 hours of gameplay total.

I ate and slept like normal, no issues bypassing the queues since I started in the early mornings when queues were tiny. Only had one boot from the game where I had to wait in the longer queues during the process.

So it took 2-3 days. the MSQ wasn't that long to finish. Didn't have to skip any cutscenes.

Took me from early access until yesterday, playing when I could. I took my time and didn't rush the story, because I love the characters and the world. My FC had people that finished it very, VERY fast. I could have blitzed it with a day or two off work, but I wanted to let the story "breathe," take it in, and experience it.

My only hang up was in the last MSQ dungeon, which had a couple of boss fight moments that took me completely off-guard and caused me to log out for the rest of the day.

Me and my friend have played almost every day since launch for many hours and we are still not done with the story even now. my friend did the expansion in the first 2 days... every day we say to eachother how the did people do all this content in 2 days? seems impossible...

Game dropped on a Friday (early access) played from as soon as I could get on the server 1am Saturday until I passed out, repeated for that full weekend, was done with the story, no skips, no side quests besides aether currents on Monday Morning around 11am. Took 2 days to recover emotionally. Then spent the remaining time leveling one class for each Role Quest, finished those last night with White Mage. Now to level the rest of the jobs to 90, and get all the Shared Fates finished. Then I will farm Zone 6 for a TV mount.

How can you have an opinion for the story if you skipped it ?

[CKNovel]

A friend absolutely don't care about the story, they reached lv90 in 6~8 hours.

As for me, started the 3rd 1h after the opening of the servers, finished the 5th during the night, around 3-4 AM. Sooo... kinda 2 days.
I slept one hour between the start and the end of the MSQ. I was at an important moment so it was very difficult to sleep.

I focused the MSQ but took my time by talking to NPC and running dungeon with trusts to have a single player experience.
Also didn't stopped eating or showering.
