Equally importantly, with a good story you want to know what is going to happen next. That excited anticipation again makes it more pleasurable to carry out activities in the world, even when your MSQ quest bar says: "To be continued..."

When I look at "To be continued..." now, my reaction is "Must we?" And the answer is "no."

Agreed.

Although interestingly, I was reading a thread on an unofficial FFXIV sub-Reddit yesterday - "[Spoiler 7.2] Who/what will be the end boss of Dawntrail" that made me remember what anticipation felt like.
Lots of speculation and ideas discussed, lots of theories and possibilities. Its a pity that a thread like that couldn't be posted here, on the forum. I'd post it myself if I didn't know it would be mostly ignored in favour of the numerous threads complaining about.... well, everything.
