Hi everyone. I have been playing FF14 for about 2 weeks now and I think I finally understand the underlying intentions for this gameplay. I have been playing WoW for 7 years and in that time I grew to love mmorpgs. Having played FF14 now and reading comments and posts about the game all over the web, I think I get it. FF14 is different from WoW in that it is more of a storybook, but it is a storybook that you are a part of (referring to MSQ).
While WoW is heavily focused on gear rewards and blazing through the story to get to the grind, FF14 is about enjoying the story and not worrying about what level you are. I’m sure there are some components of this game that are grindy too, but not nearly as much as other mmorpgs. FF14 is designed for player involvement and engagement with the story.
Maybe I’m off the mark here, but this current understanding is leading me to enjoy the game at my pace and not feel obligated to play or speed through content.
