Yoshi-P is now dealing with the worst fucking character ever to be featured in a Final Fantasy (XIV Dawntrail), and that in the english version, this already godawful character is voiced by a tranny.
He had enough of my faith that when I get a new GPU, I intend to play XVI PC. But that's about as far as I'll go at this point, after everything else that keeps going on.
If it was End Walker, I’d say it was well worth it. As soon as I saw the pre-patch introduction to Wuk Lamat, I knew this shit would go down hill fast.
I’ll put the record straight: It not that it’s a tranny, but the entire story is based on them and your character takes a back seat. We had the main game and four expansion where your the hero then a sudden back of the bus for some lion queef who wants to be a leader? From killing a multi-planetary threat to a small island’s political free-for-all? It’s such a story whiplash that it’s just boring.
The downside to being the MMO "with the good story" is that when you inevitably fuck that story up you can't detangle the rest of the game from it. And since writing is so subjective you will eventually find some way to fuck it.
And I'll assume, as I never got into XIV, that the stories aren't like WoW's where they are mostly self contained and barely relate to one another. So they can't just completely bury it next year and move on with washed hands.
You are right that every expansion’s story was connected to one another until the recent one, Dawntrail (Mostly because the last expansion closed off the first story very tightly.) They could easily continue with a new story over this one with the next one and say it was the filler expansion equivalent to a beach episode in any anime. However, people will still have to buy it since the leveling system requires you to go through that expansion.

That's one of the upsides to modern WoW that they managed to solve, with the Chromie Time essentially allowing you to pick your favorite expansion and just play it to get up to current content. It only works because of how separate each expansion is from one another (and how little the plot matters to them), but it makes playing the game for the first time or even on an alt so much nicer.
