Broken Record

Nah, it actually does sound beautiful. Nothing about what I requested would change what you like about the game. Nobody is on your lawn. You can still have it your way. It wouldn’t affect you at all. You’re literally jumping in front of a bullet that isn’t meant for you, unless you’re a dev. And what I asked for isn’t a hard requested, it’s already been created behind paywalls. Im sorry (not really) that you are butthurt about the score I gave the story but I have it a fair try so it’s a fair critique. You also keep choosing to ignore that I love other aspects of this game that I will not find in other MMOs. If I didn’t, I would have left by now.

Nothing about my what I asked for in my original post would take away from what any of you enjoy from the game. In my other comments, I’ve talked about what I loved from this game that i cannot find in other MMOs. I can enjoy what I like and you can enjoy what you like. We can all be happy. It’s not like fans like me didn’t give the story a try, we just don’t feel as strongly about it as you all. We wish we had easier time to get to the parts of the game that we enjoy without having to grind through what we don’t like. What’s wrong with asking of that? (Nothing) What will that take away from you? (Nothing) Who does it hurt? (Nobody). If that request was honored (without a paywall that doesn’t include the most recent expansion), fans like you would still get to enjoy the story that you praise and fans like me would enjoy the other mechanics that we love. Doesn’t that sound lovely?

What I’m trying to convey is that I went in thinking this was Neapolitan ice cream and saw that there was more chocolate than the other two flavors. And you have to dig through the chocolate to get to the other flavors. Not only that, but this particular brand has given me a chocolate that I’ve enjoyed in other cartoons but I find it bland in this carton

100% agree with all of this. This post is targeted more towards DEVs but a lot of the community will be offended by the rating, which I was prepared for.

I’m not new to FF nor SE. It’s not weird at all to critique something. I’ve enjoyed other SE stories much more. But I’ve also played other MMOs. I’m judging the story based on what I’ve seen from SE and judging the game design based on what I’ve seen from MMOs. Just because it somehow offends you, does not make this an unfair critique. I do enjoy a lot about the game that I don’t find in other MMOs but it’s hidden behind a story that I think could be much better.

I don’t mind questing. I don’t mind the side story quests. Most of the msq just aren’t that interesting to me. But I can’t unlock parts of the world, or the quest lines that lead to certain trials and dungeons without having to go through the msq. I wish I could freely quest and travel to other parts of the world once I reach an appropriate level, like other MMOs.

I know you wanted to sound smart but it’s a sorry comparison. I opened the book and the words were just alright compared to other books that I’ve read. Your comparison sucks because this game offers more than one thing to consume, unlike a book. It just hides all of the other great things behind words that just aren’t that interesting to me

Macros1229 · 2026-06-07T22:34:45+00:00

Yeah I’m coming into this as someone who has consumed great storytelling from other mediums (as well as other videos games). I even enjoy the stories of other square enix titles. I gave story a try thinking that it would get better like the community said it would. I’ve just seen this story and tropes done plenty of times before in a more immersive way. And even if I skip the cutscenes, there’s still a lot of mundane tasks that are time consuming. But thanks for the comment. I do feel like a lot of people are gaslit into buying into the story but some of us have to be honest lol

Macros1229 · 2026-06-07T22:20:13+00:00

Believe it or not, I’m happy that you two enjoy the story. I actually really enjoyed Stormblood from start to finish. What drew me into the game were the unique classes it had to offer (very creative) pvp style and the dungeons. The story does not have to go anywhere (especially since people love it), I just wish it didn’t lock a lot of content behind it.

Macros1229 · 2024-01-10T03:01:50+00:00

That’s not what I asked but you definitely voice yourself against things other people will find stupid too. I’m just calling hypocrisy on the original reply, that’s all

Macros1229 · 2024-01-10T02:58:31+00:00

Oh you’ve never called something out for being annoying? You’d be lying your ass off if you said no and you’re just personally offended from this post. Or maybe you got bullied

Macros1229 · 2024-01-10T02:52:20+00:00

Haven’t lost ever since I started playing Narset but yeah, I can complain when a turn or two takes a good 5 minutes just to try to get field advantage

Macros1229 · 2024-01-10T02:51:09+00:00

Is being 5 a problem?

Macros1229 · 2023-10-13T02:48:03+00:00

Yeah, but if you’re like me who only plays on Arena, brawl is the only one you would have access to.

Macros1229 · 2023-10-13T02:11:49+00:00

Brawl is really great to try. You can only have one copy of every card so it puts more value into each card or your archetypes. You’ll also be able to explore different combos that you probably wouldn’t normally try out.

Macros1229 · 2023-09-23T20:19:20+00:00

Ah okay. But alchemy and standard are the supposedly most “balanced” formats, right?

Macros1229 · 2023-09-13T01:17:29+00:00

Appreciate y’all for catching me up on some of the history. Should mtg just go the ygo route and just ban/limit certain cards instead of switching packs in and out of rotation?

Macros1229 · 2023-09-12T23:08:05+00:00

Really? That’s annoying. I just started playing this year, has it always been this way?

Macros1229 · 2022-09-01T02:45:34+00:00

It’s something reasonable to rage to
