    I played FF14 for a while, and it was fun. My issue is previous expansions should be allowed to be abridged or full. I have several classes at level cap and just started Shadowbringers, and it’s a thousand “kill 10 boar” quests, and then a ridiculously good story.

    Just let us play the story parts.

      Yeah, the side quests are rather unimaginative in their tasks. For the most part they’re not worth doing unless you want a bit more of a dive into the world lore. (A few give unique rewards, though.) Even some story quests are “player does menial chores for good karma with the locals because the devs need to pad things out a bit.”

      Shadowbringers is worth it, though. It’s my personal favorite story arc. Endwalker, the one after, is my second favorite.

        Good to know, I might give it another shot. I bought it and Endwalker when it was in prerelease and played it a few hours a night sporadically during the week. Didn’t realize I needed to play through four Final Fantasy games to get to the “Endgame”

        I figured it was like WoW where once you got to level cap you just kind of walked into the endgame scenario and went for it.
