Hi everyone,
I recently put a post here about starting the game and I was told to take it slow and take in the story. A bit of background, im a competitive raider and PvPer in most games I play, I’ve reached top 10 EU kills and I tend to play 12 hours / day theorycrafting strats and raiding.
This leads to me rushing so fast through content in MMOs that I don’t even understand the relevance of any fights or what I’m actually doing, just for the achievement and accomplishments, which worked fine for a few years.
I decided to start FFXIV again after being burned out the first time round, there’s so many quests and I just didn’t feel anything which spamming ‘Skip Cutscene’ and missing all the text.
This time round, I’ve decided to read all the story quests and take it slower.
Oh. My. God.
I have NEVER felt immersed in a game before, but a character in the MSQ died recently and I physically felt upset. I actually didn’t want to continue the quest which was to move their body.
I’m level 40, still on ARR and I’m already hooked and I’ve heard the story gets better with the expansions.
Just thought I’d share so if there’s any other people contemplating reading the story instead of burning through it... do it!
