Stop it with the forced stealth

[darkghost38]

I don't know if this has been already said before but stop it with the stealth already, it was bad in endwalker and is bad in Dawntrail, this is not a stealth game, nobody plays this game for the stealth and it doesn't matter how much you improve it is never going to be good, the quests are annoying and tedious. If you are going to keep those quests then stop forcing them on us in the MSQ and the aether current quests.

I wouldn't mind it once or maybe twice an expansion. But almost every instance feels ham-fisted and like it's being used as padding.

to be fair its only every instance because everything else are cutscenes

My only gripe with the stealth sections is not being teleported to the start when you fail and having to make a long trek, especially since it's unclear how far back you can actually tail the character so they may turn around at the worst time

Or when you fail it and have to start over and then when you finally complete it in the cutscene after you just walk right up to the guy and he's like "Oh I just like to sneak around for fun, I'm not doing anything bad".

Least it's some attempt at spicing up the quests.

Still, more solo instances would have been better. Should have had one during the 96 cutscene, rather than having the cutscene where we just stand and stare.

Don't forget when we just take a step forward menacingly when the bad guys take a hostage for the 4987th time instead of ignoring cover/rescue/Bahamut conveniently located on our hotbar.

But y'know, we can't have agency because it detracts from Wuk Lamat's screentime

That part should have been a solo instance, or had us punch him like the other gecko did.

Bahamut

You do realize we're supposed to PROTECT/RESCUE the hostage ... not atomize it. :'D

BTW: you'd be surprised about how often police is condemned to do the "menacing stare" in real life in order to not endanger hostages in such situations.

What pisses me off infinitely more is that my Kitten, supposedly a powerful and gifted White Mage, always just stands there like a derp whenever some NPC is wounded while Alphinaud etc. get to do the actual healing. UGH.

its like I wear a white dress just to prove my laundry detergent is superior or something.
