I don't know how people say Heavensward has a better story than ARR. The worst part about ARR was the fetch quest and that duty where you kill enslaved individuals.

Heavensward I'm stuck doing work in a city who's history is built on the back of lies. Only a portion of the city wants to deal with the truth, and even worse they hate dealing with "outsiders." Unlike ARR, where I cared for Gridania and Limsa as a whole, I really only care for particular individuals in Isungard.

Even worse, even though it's the city that's the perpetrators of the war, all of quest ties to the city because they are our "fellow man." The entire lens is under the city and there's barely any quests of Isungard itself doing work to gain favor towards the dragons. Just a peace treaty, while we have dragon momma here saving a child from a falling building. It's asinine that we're spending some much time working with the perpetrators

Combine that with the fact that "Iceheart" gets black widowed, (what is with FFXIV and killing off major female npc's....) and then having to join this competition against two nations that I prefer infinitely more, and this expansion has been a hard wash for me. I already finished the main storyline and I'll gladly pay money to just jump to stormblood, because the writing here is awful for me.

Unfortunately, I only see a story skip that allows you to jump to level 80, and I just want to skip heavensward. Does anyone know if there's an option to just skip to stormblood.
