not to talk about a game being an mmo, but like. i think ppl forget 14 is an mmo and thus there is a grind
#someone was complaining about how the spiritual ending for EW is quote unquote locked#behind lvl 80 gatherer quests#which my good dude my good chief the quests kinda are like. yeah this is the POINT#it makes sense to have it be there#gonna get spoilery here for a sec:#but to rebuild these lost worlds not by combat and violence but by cultivation and growth#tending to the barren soil of despair and new growth rising from that#is deeply poetic and it FITS#it fits so beautifully it would’ve been a crime to do them as just combat#but also it’s an mmo. there is a grind#it’s how mmo’s go and 14 isn’t as grindy#but there is a grind there to get a job to 80#I dunno what else to tell people that it is a bad thing for important content to be stuck in places like that#go exploring. try new things. do different jobs#there’s a great deal of lore in the ShB job quests it’s why you do them#this isn’t a game to have things handed to you on a silver platter in MSQ they gotta have more incentive in the game#or at that point it’s just a single player rpg#which at times I wish 14 was like that but you gotta live w what you got#anyway yes you can criticize how the game is laid out w the lore and how certain things should be in MSQ#and acknowledge that there is a grind to the game by it being a mmorpg#I dunno go and ruminate on why it’s such a grumpy idea that the ending theme#of hope springs eternal and hope for a new and better world from the ashes of one’s so long forgotten#doesn’t fit w gathering in 14. I’ll wait#this was a take I read on twitter I can only expect so much#endwalker spoilers#just in case
