Extremely interesting. It's very strange since all I heard from beta players that tried it that the game's reaction time and flow is very snappy, the UI is clean and pretty, and that jobs actually fall into their identities and gimmicks very early.

I was under the impression putting everyone in Ul'dah was a beta thing for Lightspeed's version. (ARR's public beta forced us all to start in Gridania, for example.)


This is the first I've heard of the story being truncated like that. That feels a little gross, and that really bodes badly for when they get to Heavensward.

I don't know what to really say about all of that as she only recently got involved in the game and I'm not sure how long the beta has been going on. All that I can say is that she definitely got to Satasha without going through the usual story beats leading up to there. You still do your little intro to your city's Scion but after that it trails off pretty hard and gives a watered down version of the rest leading up to you going to Limsa/NG and starting Satasha at level 10. I wonder if that's part of why lore got cut, to have dungeons happen earlier since Satasha is typically a level 15 dungeon no?
