So what do all of these mean? Here's a summary

1. Initially it seems that the longer you've played FFXIV, the more likely you'll enjoy the game regardless if you enjoyed the story or not.
2. BUT after dissecting it to each expansion, we see that
   1. Enjoying ARR is not significantly associated with enjoying the game overall. People enjoyed the game even if we took out their experience of ARR.
   2. Enjoying HW and SHB is SIGNIFICANTLY associated with enjoying the game. Enjoying HW means you're 1.6 times more likely to enjoy playing FFXIV. Enjoying SHB means you're 1.4 times more likely to enjoy playing FFXIV.
   3. Experiencing STB suggests that you're more likely to NOT enjoy the game (LOL). But it's not statistically significant.

So why did I do this? Well, it's because our resident gatekeeper u/Angelicel decided to state the following.

there's plenty of people that play for the gameplay alone
​

Angelical >Then FFXIV isn't for you and I'm sorry that you think it is. I'm not going to lie to you and tell you the story gets better because if you don't like the story in ARR then you're better off not playing

Then proceeded to goad me into proving them wrong

I'm sure it's easy enough to find a sample size large enough playing this game purely for its game play and not the story.
​

Angelicel > Then do it.

Turns out, we're both right. The first 50 hours of ARR is NOT necessary to enjoying FFXIV, you can skip it entirely and still find enjoyment in FFXIV. However HW and SHB do matter a lot. These results aren't just opinion anymore, it's condensed data from over 700 participants that has more statistical power than just any one person's opinion. I hope you all found some form of entertainment from these results.

Thanks for participating everyone!
