Wether it's a wall of text in-game without cutscenes or wall of text in here one thing is constant. They really need to hire better writing talent. More text does not equal better story. It would be pretty daunting to try to summarize what this story is even about.

I'm excited that 2.0 gives the team freedom to start on a clean slate. I really hope for new players' sake they make a story that doesn't reference all the time a game they never played.

XI had a nice newspaper but the reason it was a fun diversion was that XI's story was told on game and through a lot of cutscenes. The newspaper was just fun trivia to read while the game was patching.Most importantly those stories have personality and characters. Lodestone posts need that personal touch to make them more interesting. In XIV the story is simply lacking and like others I feel like every lodestone post is wasted effort since the much bigger task in the game itself needs to ve improved when 2.0 rolls around.
