@Alex003_1 @DoomBacon @PSOCecil @SYACVG MSQ Does. You are telling me while playing through the game you didn't learn the mechanics?

The FF14 team is considering a streamlined path or skip through Final Fantasy 14's story, as currently you're forced to go through the entire story to access the latest content.
English
@Glitchpuppi @EmetEnjoyer27 @Shinymeowww Dont ask them do something harder than off-patch extreme trials, its too much to ask
English
@EmetEnjoyer27 @Shinymeowww Good thing we have eureka/bozja/occult for a good overworld, and they're adding more features from those to every EC zone.
Also ffxiv raids have some of the most intricate/difficult/fun mechanics in any mmorpg.. But you have to do harder content than normals to see that
English
XIV players will eventually understand that’s it’s an MMO, and some people don’t care about story or lore.
Although the actual quality and
replay-ability of content is another discussion
007FFF@GalefrostA
PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD do NOT do this. I'm not saying that there aren't flaws with the latest content being locked behind at least a 6 months' worth of content for casual players, but Monster Hunter has made this same mistake twice with the Guardian sets. Allowing players

@TianoPlaysGames @duplex_cookie Im sorry for breaking it for you but those people are not msq skippers, it has nothing to do with skip or not, they just suck
English
@duplex_cookie I ran into a Cure 1ing WHM in Vanaspati and literally looked at them like wth??? Like okay whatever Im playing warrior I can heal myself but where's my holy??? Why aren't you pressing buttons you got along the way???
English
I'm not gonna sugar coat it tbh, if you play like a beginner in late dungeons I'm not gonna treat you like a new player in late dungeons, that courtesy is only reserved for anything under level 50. I expect you to know mechanics at 70+

@Heladesh @Whotooksekusen @SYACVG LOOOL i think i was right then, go do roulettes man, enjoy your content ;)
English
@BeefCheeser What? Im sorry but do you really believe what you just typed? This game? And im also an msq enjoyer and the story already has coherency problems sometimes even linearity, the story its not perfect and even then we both know nothing will change if they add the skip
English
@Alex003_1 It means they stop putting a focus on the coherency and linearity of the story, which would fuck up the point of the game.
English
“It’s a big ask to play an RPG”
I just don’t get it anymore man, like in another MMO maybe, but what’s the point in FFXIV?
Maybe they can trim the fat from some older quests again to make it less walking back and forth talking to people of no consequence, idk.

Yoshi-P is looking into ways to make FF14's 5 expansions and 100s of hours less daunting for newbies pcgamer.com/games/final-fa…
English
@Heladesh @Whotooksekusen @SYACVG Lmao, you are the one sending me your hours like a flex and acting all superior, that amount its nothing for mmos and just say it man, i know you barely do any content and think that msq + roulettes are everything on this game
English
@Alex003_1 @Whotooksekusen @SYACVG what do you think i did during those hours? drool on my keyboard like you?
"still have more hours than you" talk about being 12 years old hahah
English
@Heladesh @Whotooksekusen @SYACVG Gameplay, not hours but if you wanna do that, i still have more than you
English
@Heladesh @Whotooksekusen @SYACVG Do you play the game? Or are you just gonna say that and not back it out? I expect lots of gameplay done if we are talking this big
English
@Alex003_1 @Whotooksekusen @SYACVG damn so they actually have to play the game? mmo players have the biggest brain cancer where only the current expansion matters its unreal
English
@EmetEnjoyer27 @mothercryst4l @notyourclaude @Shmuggies @EENlX No but its also being changed, 2mins are not gonna be a thing anymore + those jobs are gonna be a bit worse than evolved so eventually people will completely swap to the new system, also it was a joke? was just to remark that anything can be said with those words
English
English
the thought of new players who are tentatively interested in ffxiv's story being peer-pressured to skip it to catch up to friends who don't really care about msq makes me feel ill tbh

English
@mothercryst4l @EmetEnjoyer27 @notyourclaude @Shmuggies @EENlX And its probably gonna be an option for new players, stop gatekeeping and be open to change
English
@mothercryst4l @EmetEnjoyer27 @notyourclaude @Shmuggies @EENlX Also its not even going to work because changing 3 expansions of 2mins meta just to put new players with totally new buttons that they know nothing about is a shit strategy... see where im going? story skips are already in the game, they are just making it free to a certain point
English
@EmetEnjoyer27 @mothercryst4l @notyourclaude @Shmuggies @EENlX And yeah adding a story skip will make the game a "shit game" out of nowhere, crazy thought, like we really dont have that already on the game, right?
+ Have you seen the mogstation?
English
@Alex003_1 @mothercryst4l @notyourclaude @Shmuggies @EENlX a game that focus only on making money is a shit game
English
@mothercryst4l @EmetEnjoyer27 @notyourclaude @Shmuggies @EENlX SE its doing well because of FFXIV and they want the game to do even better? WHAAAAT?.
Ofc its not struggling, no one said otherwise but its true that it lost people and the company wants more people playing, imagine wanting your favorite game to do better.
English
@EmetEnjoyer27 @Alex003_1 @notyourclaude @Shmuggies @EENlX they also say that as if square enix mmos (ffxiv and dqx thats only available in japan) dont make up half of the company's total revenue lol
ffxiv is NOT struggling, it has millions of players that pay minimum 12€ every month
English
@BeefCheeser I mean if you through that route you also dont get anything for being in start or middle of the msq no? like what?.
The game should be enjoyable for everyone, it literally doesnt change anything for you if someone skips to do fishing or if someone skips and then does new game+
English
You don’t get anything from being at the end of the story as opposed to the beginning or the middle beyond access to more duties and jobs.
You can still happily play with your friends and do a load of stuff, and as you play the MSQ you just get more and more stuff to do.
English
@Cute__Mafia @Cthulhu_OwO @Khorgnir Sadly im pretty sure you are either arguing with 15yos or very close minded people
English
@Cthulhu_OwO @Khorgnir Well that's the problem pretty much, if you want to be a raider or social player mostly you need to pay a higher fee than someone who's here for the single player experience.
You're also misreading the argument because it upsets you, the goal is not to remove narrative at all.
English
I think if you’re looking to just get to endgame and raid with your friends, FFXIV will not be fun to you. And making that out to be a flaw in FFXIV is just corny. “I don’t wanna have to get through a hundred hours of story”- that’s the game, dawg. You don’t wanna play the game.
English
@Cthulhu_OwO @Cute__Mafia @Khorgnir True, which is why they are addressing the big issue they have and the solution its to add a story skip, they know they are losing a lot of potential customers, they have the numbers, they have the data, now the problem is how to address it, specially with people like you playing
English
@Cute__Mafia @Khorgnir Then 14 isn't the game for them.
English
@Cthulhu_OwO @Cute__Mafia @Khorgnir My god man, did you really read a genuine and actual criticism of the game and thought "they are removing the story on a story game!", god damn lmao
English
@Cute__Mafia @Khorgnir What?
They're going to get rid of story in a narrative driven game to appeal to raiders?
English
@Cute__Mafia @king_of_games34 I have no idea why most people who are against the story skip think that the game will become a raiding simulator if they add the story skip, there is so much of this game other than msq, its crazy the amount of people i read saying msq its 80% of the entire content of this game
English
@king_of_games34 The goal isn't solely to appeal to them but just to make it a better game for everyone, I'm not saying they should make it a raiding game only but rather just to improve on the entry point pretty much, I don't think that'd create issues as our MSQ content won't be affected.
English
We get 4 raids every 8 months. Everyone Ive seen just buy the skip to endgame quit the game within 3 months when they find out this really isnt an MMO for raiding. This really is not a market 14 should try to appeal to.
ִֶָ@Cute__Mafia
@Cthulhu_OwO @Khorgnir They're not but they want to make it less demanding to get to it currently, the goal isn't to remove the story but to make it easier for people to get to the content they want to prioritize in this game, it already works for us MSQ players but for others not so much.
