Hello, been playing FF14 for awhile now and am close to the end of the MSQ. Really enjoyed the music, world, and dungeons for this xpac but I’m going to be honest I kinda wish FF14 did a better part of mixing combat and story together. I get the main draw of the game is the story but i don’t like how the two are separated. It’s kinda jarring watching cutscenes for over an hour to then go kill a single random enemy before going back to more cutscenes. Does that make sense, or am I trippin?

Just for reference, I think FF14 thru Endwalker has the best story in gaming, so I’m not hating on the game as a whole. I just think they can maybe innovate a little with the questing - for example while I like FF14 a lot more than WoW, the latter has some really creative quests!

Edit: Holy moly this blew up overnight - I will try to respond and read all the messages I can 😭
