So, I’m still catching up after the whole viral post thing about FFXIV. I turned off notifications days ago because my phone was vibrating harder than a hitachi wand and it was killing my battery and I have businesses to run LOL Thanks for the follows, the love, the hate, all of it. I checked what I could when I had spare moments and replied basically to what was right in front of my eyes. I love the game, have been into Final Fantasy since the mid 90s and even used to be a guide contributor on GameFAQs. If you’ve ever played a SCC or SSCC in FF Tactics, tried a No XP run in FF8, or gotten the early disc 2 ribbon in Gaea’s Cliff in FF7 you’ve probably used guides with my words in them. No I don’t skip any stories because I’m a lore junkie, but I will defend your right to do so if you just like the MMO portion of the game. I commentate Crystalline Conflict matches (follow @john_is_dead_ for Community Roulette, the best intro to light party PvP out there), yap for charity on the world race broadcasts, make memes on ShitpostXIV, and have been playing FFXIV since early Stormblood so yeah, sorry I’m a tourist and a general blight on the community. 🙃




It’s 2026, we are gonna be 6 expansions deep into FFXIV soon. Can we stop with the weird gatekeepy behavior if someone doesn’t want to play through 250 hours of story to be able to play some of the best MMO raid encounters ever made? Heaven forbid someone asks you a small lore question if they start getting interested in the story after starting the game 10 years late. Are we really gonna keep driving people away with this weird NIMBY ritual? Just use your social skills (lol) and answer the small question, suggest they start a story alt on their downtime, or direct them to a synopsis video on YouTube. Crying about “story skippers” this deep into a game’s development cycle is peak cringe. If they set up a skip to Dawntrail for new characters to jump into the new story arc I and many others feel like it would be beneficial for the game’s long term health. While the Hydaelyn/Zodiark arc is great storytelling it’s also not a sacred cow for people to clutch pearls over. At the end of the day, it’s a game to be played. We’re all better than this and should start acting like it.
