What is the goal of this game?

To do the quests/level then craft ect...?


Currently i only finished Mission:Souls Gone Wild, and 5 minutes into the mission i am already bored the hell out. Spending 90% of time running back and forth, 9% talking and watching the cut scenes, and 1% actually doing something fun.

The battle system suck very unrealistic at least in my opinion.

I am a Diablo 2 fan. I like just how simple the game is, little time waste on level but more on fun.

So can anyone answer me what is the point or goal of FFXIV?
