I just couldn’t give a shit about Ala Mihgo. At all. And I keep waiting for the story to take this dark and sinister turn or set lose so much of the bindings of the talkiness, but it doesn’t. The empire is a bland villain. The ascians seem ok but i want more. Eikons can be cool but then they come back. I’ve played a decent amount of mainline FF 4-7, 9. And this is like those but overall worse story because the beats have to be drawn out over an xpac. And the world isn’t that interesting. However, the base MMO parts are fun to me. Combat got a lot better post-50. Dungeons and stuff are fun. I suspect Shadowbringers and Endwalker are just more of the same. I’m on a quest to finish the story out, but of all the bigger MMOs this has grabbed me the second least. GW2 I had a major problem with the childishness of the writing. I find that here too, which yeah FF always had some of that. I just want more combat and more out in the world for the story than the talky talky at the quest hub for 10 minutes then fight two mobs. I’m rambling. Might be that the game isn’t for me. Ironic though I dipped into SWTOR to do a class to 50 and the story grabbed me almost immediately. And it wasn’t that much better really. FF14 is a shit ton of content though. Good lord a lot to do.
