Volume posted:You guys can argue about what real content is all you want. All I know is when I was in some zone I ran into some NPC in this weird stone temple that stood out. I figured since it looked so out of place the quest that this NPC have must be fun. Lol no it was another "slay three wolves please" at level 50. So nah I'm good on the side quests I can't tell if you're being facetious or are just stupid or what.

I play video games to have fun. Why would I waste my time clearing quests that I don't find fun?

It's not that running around is fun its that tracking down every single point on every single zone doesn't sound fun. They could have made a single quest line and at the end of it all you feel in tune with the winds of the world and bam done but I guess that's too easy?

Playing an MMO if you hate quests is like watching a comedy if you hate jokes. quote:It's not that running around is fun its that tracking down every single point on every single zone doesn't sound fun.

It's interesting that you like one variety of repetitive content, but you don't like content that isn't repetitive and in-fact forces you to explore parts of zones you might not see otherwise.

Funny thing is, by refusing to do this, you're limiting yourself from several of the things you supposedly enjoy! You won't be able to unlock 60DR or Void Ark. I get that you've dug in and can't admit that you're wrong now, but this is getting to the point of absurdity.

I could do without 60dr. As for void ark I'll probably just do the bare minimum needed. If it's actually unlock flying everywhere then I'll just pass.

I did all the sidequests because the alternative of either chain running fates or waiting in dps queues to run the fuckin Aery or whatever over and over again were infinitely less appealing

I'm mainly just curious how far this rabbit hole goes and how much content and features are still locked for him behind side quests. Hildibrand? Crystal Tower? Coil? The challenge log? Retainer ventures? Job crystals? Beast tribes? gently caress.

You're literally a guy who plays fighting games for the single player content. Which is fine, and I'm more confused by why so many people in this thread seem to be increasingly offended by it, and are making themselves sound like assholes in the process of complaining about it. If you overheard someone mention that they like pizza, but not tomato sauce, would you launch into an hour long diatribe about how you can't like pizza without liking tomato sauce, and if you order your pizza with half sauce you might as well not even bother?

The correct thing to do is level a DPS class first to get all that sweet main&sidequest xp and clear out all of the quests. Then it doesn't matter which quests have aether or whatnot.

Volume posted:It's a video game, man. Have you...actually unlocked any aether currents or are you just working off of what somebody told you it's like? You click the aether compass. It literally tells you exactly where to go. They are usually places in close proximity to where the MSQ takes you as you progress in those zones. You click the thing. That's it. It's completely effortless. There is no valid counter argument here. Just unlock flight or you're kinda retarded.

Given how much endgame stuff is gated behind flight, it makes sense just to take twenty minutes of your time just to go around and poke at a few glowy things on each of the HW maps.

Klades posted:Which still doesn't warrant telling them that they're eating the pizza wrong over and over again. Now, I've been playing FF XIV for maybe two weeks. I love the atmosphere, I love the polish, and the little bits of character TINY BALTIMORE shows is incredibly endearing and I feel more invested in a potato than other characters I played for years up to and including Ultima Online. The honeymoon hasn't worn off, but they don't last forever. When they added flying to the latest WoW expansion, I burned out doing the questing prereqs, one of which was gated by a daily. Months later, I still can't fly there. I'd probably care if I logged in wanting to do anything there. It means I can relate to someone who might not want be motivated to do X to get around, even if they like A through Y and Z. To Volume, I can only recommend doing whatever you can with friends-friends and goons made perfectly unenjoyable games into legendary experiences.
