im gonna be honest with you i was prepared for the first 50 hours to be a slog bc everyone says realm reborn is long and exhausting but tbh. the arr campaign itself got interesting halfway through. its the patch msq between arr & hw thats exhausting. the constant trials & dungeons forcing you to sit through queue times (levelled archer to lv10 & fisher to 20 and started botanist and so much other bullshit exclusively during queues in the past 2/3 days), the 5 different plotlines, what were they thinking

#yeah im invested in these characters but im so fucking lost dude #'yeah theres trouble in ishgard also the syllhs summoned their deity also the ascians also alphinaud has an army now also flames traitor-'#ONE AT A TIME #currently im at the crysallis dungeon & i quit for the day bc. dps queue times #ARR sucked at the start but that was 90% just meeting the characters & the world. i can cope with it being slow #70 hours in still getting massive exposition dumps??? youve lost me #and im SURE itll all make sense eventually but its just. so much #its like they had five different plot ideas for 2.x and decided to make the quests #put them on pieces of paper #put them in a bowl #shook the bowl #and then took them out one by one to decide the quest order #its so all over the place #and maybe it wasnt as bad for the people who played them as they were coming out. but im not one of them #idk #i liked ARR and im not gonna quit now (im relatively close to hw by now i think??? im getting there???) but STILL #ars0nism's ffxiv adventures #also just the constant queuew #yeah theres dungeons in the ARR story but you could do those with ai teammates. those ai teammates arent the best #but theyre ready before youve been fishing for an hour
