I’ll be honest compared to many of the main FF games like X, XIII or XVI, XIV’s story from ARR->EW, especially once you’re in the last segments of ShB and EW, easily outdoes them. It’s slow as molasses since it has to fit a whole MMO with 2y release cycles into it, but it’s also damn good.
Comment on If you've done the Final Fantasy marathon did you include FF XI? Was it worth it?

I genuinely thought they killed it off. Wow.
But no, I wouldn’t include any MMO in a game marathon. XIV has a “story” but compared to a legit single player rpg, yeah no way.

XIV’s story is insanely good though but I guess we’re not counting DLCs here (although the first 2 expansions are free now)

The story being told is good but the gameplay is eeeurgh. Endless boring ass fetch quests punctuated by pretty cool dungeons.

The whole msq is like that in essence, not just the early part

True, though the further you get, the more things you unlock and can do to distract you from how boring the endless fetch quests are.
