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.
Granted that's just the early msq. I enjoy the game and have several 90 combat classes, but it really was a slog to start.
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.
I spent an entire weekend farming and crafting to furnish my apartment.
It's not bad if you are an active player. The msq drips are a welcome addition when you have "run out" of content and is very manageable.
That said, I tried to catch up from 80 to 90 and I could just not justify any more hours doing the msq just to be able to raid. It was just hours and hours and days and days of clicking people reading text and going to the next location clicking more boxes
