🦊we've been told that FFXIV:ARR has been compressed a lot with a lot of quests removed, and how it's a good thing because ARR is a slog (though we've been having fun with it) but the tradeoff is like, the main quest right now is "ok you will *only* do multiplayer duties. you WILL be social"
@roxy everything past ARR can be done with NPC teammates too but they didn't get to add the system to ARR yet, a lot of the behaviors are hardcoded to the dungeon to give the NPCs some personality and let them comment on stuff
