This is how I feel about Destiny 2. I think that any live service game needs to have a plan for this. They need to design all the content they make in two ways, first for people playing through it in realtime, so it takes a while to do, but they also need to be able to crack it open and "overclock" it, so that the same story can be experienced much faster and more streamlined. After the newest content has moved 6-12 months past a certain point, they should put it into the faster mode, and players could blitz through it to catch up. This can involve removing gear/level grind, removing fetch quests, and skipping unnecessary sidequests. If you do want to go back and do those side quests, that can be an optional thing later.
But basically, the goal is that when a new expansion comes out, a new player should be able to buy the game and get caught up to the new expansion in no more than a month of fairly casual gameplay, ideally faster, and never feel like a moment is wasted.
The pun on 'Badminton' is the kind of humor I live for. π€
You need to get good? What does that mean and why should it matter?
Also. If anyone is asking you to finish 14, i dont think they literally mean to finish all of the content. I am very certain they mean the story. This honestly sounds like an excuse to not play something when you could just say, its too time consuming or you didnt enjoy what youve already played through.
Yep. I have 400+ hrs and still in start of last expansion msq. Its too massive. I want endgame already and dont want skip cutscenes either. π’
So whatever's in that mug reminds him he needs to fake having emotions to appear human
I really enjoy your content for the integrity. You'll always have a place for my second monitor, even if I no longer have second monitor. <3
I'm a long-time GW2 player, and I play mainly for the story. I love it to bits, and eventhough I KNOW it's a lot of content to go through, it had always been quite abstract in my mind, given that I've been following the releases since Heart of Thorns.
I got seriously into playing FFXIV last month. Now I understand. I'm still not through Heavensward and it feels like this expac alone is longer than a single GW2 expac + Living World. I'm having a blast but OH BOY is it LOT. People with jobs, especially jobs that require to play multiple video games, can't do it all folks
Tbf with ffxiv getting good isnβt a thing, only the ultimates and savage which are optional non story really take much skill, the story quests and dungeons are pretty easy, like literally, the ceo has recently come out and publicly said that he believes theyβve made ffxiv too easy
Don't gotta be good for msq. Just need to dump about 500 hours lmao
It's ok to not be god at certain things, and there's too many games, books and films that, you cant read. All these people want you to is a reaction on a things, like a death of certain character, or these boss battle with this music. Thats why popular streamers are doing reactions, this is what people want
The mug got me
I feel like of all the "you have to get to current content to experience the real game" MMOs, FFXIV has the biggest barrier to entry. Hundreds of hours of cutscenes and fetch quests. It's shocking that they manage to still get new players. Or maybe they just make millions off story skip microtransactions.
I like how ffxiv fans missed the whole point of his metaphor and kept going "but Josh you don't need to be good to play the story pls Josh play our game so we could feel that tiny bit of fatherly love and acknowledgment that we so badly miss:("
FFXIV is one of my favorite games of all time and in my opinion has not only the best story in an mmo but one of the best in any game ever but I can understand the grind. I actually just last year decided to start a new character and yeah the grind is real, fun for sure but if you don't have the time to put into it I can get not trying to catch up.
Yea but more and more and more please!
You are not missing anything anyway. Its mostly bad.
just be a filthy casual like the rest of us
It took me a year to basically A level cap in LOTRO, which involved ignoring a lot of supplementary side-story content.
FF14 took me from January to April to get to the start of Shadowbringers (expansion 3), starting from the end of ARR. This was alongside my day job of retail working, which left me hungry to feel like I needed to progress the world/myself/a virtual world, outside of work. It's a dick move to pressurise people to play more of an MMO.
Imagine basing other peoples opinions on your own enjoyment for a game.
Sounds like an excuse. If he doesnβt want to play it, thatβs cool. Just say it. π
Well'p, there is only one life to be a %MMO_NAME%-no-lifer without it. You can't trade it for multiple ones, sadly.
yeah I can't imagine keeping up with that many games. I tend to just hyper focus 1-2 for months lol
to be fair there isn't really "getting good" at 14. you just.. play through the story, lol. it gives you more than enough experience and gear to just play through the story. it doesn't take any skill, just time.
just say it's more time investment than you're willing to commit.
idk how far you got, but it would be sad if you didn't get to experience Shadowbringers or Endwalker, but I get it.
IMO FFXIV dropped the ball when they added Dawntrail as a totally new story arch, but it still requires you do go through the full story of ARR to Endwalker.
They should have done something with Dawntrail that provided an alternative leveling experience starting from level 1… but I think the devs were too attached to the cast of characters to do this.

FUCK, he just reminded me that it's "Badminton" and not " Bad Mitten"
I dont think anyone would expect you to be "good", it would just be interesting for your perspectives on the current status of different games, like ffxiv or gw2
This might be his worst take yet. No one expects him to be good, just play it.
As a person who plays FF14 for almost 3 years, to a new person who (actually) wants to play FF14 i would 100% recommend story skip with just casual playthrough watching on youtube at some point.
FF14 needs new starting point at high level, but devs simply refuse to implement it.
Being good at FFXIV takes a bit of time. Hereβs the real challenge, finding a group of 7 other individuals that are good at the game that arenβt riddled with toxicity. Idk about other rpgβs but a bum leg gets everyone killed in SAV+ content. I canβt use PF without either getting idiots or assholes.
Not sure why anyone thinks its expected to be good in ff14. Most ppl play for the story.
Also no one likes bait thumbnails π
Y'shtola is under protection π
No one cares.
I really enjoyed FF14 but i couldnt get into the story. Being a decade late to the game and all my friends are at endgame stuff so i felt pressured to catch up. After like 8 hours into the game i ended up just skipping all the cutscenes
Try around 600 hours from starr to end currently. Not including dawntrail
Wow, I played Mass Effect 2 WAY too much as a kid. Within 2 seconds of the video starting I had already identified that, not only was the clip of ME2, but Shepard is currently on the mission to recruit Thane π€£
Why would youmhave to be good…..to do a story. ??? Huahh wuahh?
this doesnt really make any sense tho. No one is asking him to "GIT GUD". FFXIV story has a clear beginning and ending. lol
Ffxiv story is a real issue to new players. The community who enjoy it acts like its some delicious dish you HAVE to eat before you die, but no one takes in consideration the length of this dish and that in a broader specter it isnt an amazing dish that will appease everyone, and it's OK to not like it or feel enticed to continue.
In fact the story is such a issue to getting people to play that I have all my RAF rewards from recruiting people who never finish the story, and then try again a few months later and quit again.
This comming from someone with 11k+ hrs in this fame.
Honestly I hate Y'shtola more with every new expansion so it's probably not good for my mentality to continue with FFXIV. Also the time commitment is too much.
Pretty sure he has people that can just power level him, mmo gamers are always team players
Overrated game
A Jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.
But you should see Y'shtola with the new graphics update βΊοΈ
You aren't missing out. The current expansion is burning garbage.
Iβll wait until you are an old person with time βΊοΈ
You dont have to be good to finish a game story mode.
I just skip the cutscenes always have i play firnthe raids never cared for story
