Thread: Endwalker is the lowest point of this game since 1.0

Square sells you story skips because to them only people populating the latest expansion matters.

To be fair, SE does alot of stupid things, and the story skip goes up to SHB I think. There is no way to skip EW, so they want people to play the latest story at the very least. WoW does sell you the ability to get a class to the latest expansion too, not a raid clear sure but it gets you there faster. ESO does not sell story skips true, but its a bit different with them as you can jump into the latest expansion with any character at anytime so long as you buy it.

Technically speaking, Square Enix sells you a Job Skip because they allow one character to assume every role in-game. These do not affect the story line.

Blizzard sells Story skips in the guise of a level skip. And will be happy to do so for each of the alts you choose to run in the game.

Both companies make money because players are impatient.

If I had to guess (and we have no real numbers to back this up) Square Enix sells more ARR story skips than Endwalker story skips.

Not gonna lie, have no idea what MSRP is?
And sure you can look at it that way if you're caught up on everything else you want to do in the game. Everyone has different taste as well as different values for spendings.
Any consumer would agree for spending less, that's just common sense. But I'm personally content as it is right now.

Cool. Thank you! Will I remember it though? We shall see

I say the lowest is still Stormblood for me. Whole EW arc still pretty good compared to SB

(Still can't forgive how dirty they do to Ala Mhigo)

Hurray for another Stormblood vote! Honestly if there wasn’t such a hype train for Shadowbringers I never would have come back to this game after that lol.
