Is Throne & Liberty's MSQ better than FFXIV's? (Gameplay - No Commentary)  

Yes it is.

To be honest, there are a lot of fetch quests in FFXIV as well especially in ARR. The sample in this video is not a fetch quest actually.

@@vinshenoldnoobgamer I probably should've explained that better. Yes FFXIV has fetch quests... even in Dawntrail... but they are hidden behind some elaborate story telling. For example the first 2 zones of Dawntrail it was just fetch quests but the world building introduced us to the cultures of those areas as well as expanding the lore of the main city's protagonists. Throne & Liberty had nothing even remotely close to that level of storytelling.

To add to that.. the high points of Throne's story came from paintings that were shown as slideshows when the player clicked this purple circle on the ground. That's lazy storytelling in a game.

@@StrikerTVFang I think the story told through its voiced over dialogues is quite interesting like in the case of Henry in this video.

I'm not claiming it's better than all the expansions. I'm just thinking about it because I started playing FFXIV recently. The reason is because of the story. I'm still in ARR. So playing both TL and FFXIV for the first time gave me an impression about the MSQ in both games. This is what I wrote in the description of this video.

To be honest, I was not thinking of a click bait. As I wrote in the description, I got into FFXIV mainly because of the story and RPG. And I love both of these aspects of the game. When I tried Throne and Liberty during this open beta, I found that I was seriously interested with its MSQ and in some way, I found it more intriguing than FFXIV. But it's just my opinion.

Please do also try to watch the recording of this MSQ and see if it interests you. I'm not trolling. I play both FFXIV and TL.

I understand which is why I play FFXIV as well but to be honest, the MSQ in TL does interest me especially this one because it's quite emotional. And I remember the characters because of that, even the pesky Helpie. 😅

Well, FFXIV story seems to be falling off with Dawntrail, or that's what I've read about it anyways. And it might not properly pick up again. But T&L has as much chance of having a good story as any other KR MMORPG. It looked like Lost Ark might have a good story as well from the trailers 2.5y ago, but it turned out to be awful.

To be honest, it's really difficult to objectively judge it. I know most of us got into FFXIV because of its story, but sometimes there's a high level of subjectivity when it comes to scripting.
