What really feels bad to me after my times playing NG+ through ARR and 2 of my alts is the fact that gameplay on lower level is just beyond insulting its players intelligence. Maybe if they make that part better, players who’d otherwise don’t care too much about the cutscenes can also have something to entertain them as well?

Shoving all the ‘fun buttons’ to near cap level while leaving almost nothing on lower level … well surprise surprises..! If people enjoy neither the story nor gameplay, they just uninstall the game. Lol.

I enjoyed ARR storytelling. That’s about the only part that kept me slogging through the abysmall low level encounters from my first playthrough to my replays.
