The MSQ defeated me

I disagree. There's by far more combat in the average JRPG than what FFXIV has on offer.

JRPGs require a *lot* of grinding because they're not a genre that is designed so you can progress through just something like a main story. XIV is vastly different there because you can progress without the sort of excessive grinding needed in JRPGs. So more combat doesn't necessarily mean more combat of substance.

If you have to grind in a RPG, you're just bad at the game. Never run from a fight from the current area, and actually explore the dungeon/area before going where you need to go and you'll be at a suitable level. I've been playing RPGs since I was a kid, the only time I felt I had to grind some was the original Dragon Quest.
