you mean the reasons people play games and how much they enjoy them are subjective? yeah I agree. Did I forget to mention that was all just my opinion? shit, my bad. forgot people need to be reminded of that on the internet. I'm aware its not a popular opinion, and I stated how later expansions improve on all that. bottom line is, I disagree with skipping ARR due to thinking the overall experience somehow dramatically changes. I feel like CONSTANTLY advising people to skip it outright because its bad (which people do to XIV daily) is a bad way to be introduced to the game. you're replying as if my claims are absolute fact. just giving my opinion man. I enjoyed the entire journey, immensely. sorry we have different options but appreciate the downvotes.
