I just finished ARR and entered HW. So far, there's a lot I like about this game but the story telling isn't one of them. I kind of liked ARR's story up to "Ultimate Weapon" (even as cheesy as it was) but it's my understanding that's the part of the story revamped with 5.3 (the only patch I really have played in) and everything that followed was untouched by 5.3's quest pruning. Frankly the Before The Dawn series was nearly unbearable and seemed to emphasize creating as many tediously time consuming steps as possible at the expense of telling a good story. I would rank it as the absolute worst MMO story experience I have ever endured and I will never replay the ARR MSQ ever again under any circumstances.
I wasn't aware of a MSQ skip until I nearly finished ARR but now I'm seriously considering it for HW.
How does HW's msq compare to ARR's? While I would like to know "is the story better" but more than that did SE do the same thing in HW as they originally did in ARR: chop up the story into as many pointless steps as possible in a blatant time sink?
If I buy the HW MSQ skip is there anything that becomes more difficult to get in game or that I lose out entirely on? Are things unlocked by completing MSQ like the Black Chocobo and compass mailed to me?
Thanks
