Well, since FFXVI is now on Xbox (digitally at least screw you Microsoft), I am now in the midst of playing through it. And hot damn is it fun!
I do see why people are torn on it. I mean< it is pretty much a single player action game where Clive basically has a DMC Devil Trigger and a lot of the sidequest are very filler-y. Still, the main thrust of the story is epic, the voice acting is awesome. And the Eikon fights are cinematic insanity. So yeah, I love it.

What makes you think thats anb MS decision and not Square saving every cent after 16s massive failure?
A fair point. I was mainly saying that because it’s only a digital release and not a physical one as well. I mean, I’m glad it’s on Xbox so I am play it.
You’re probably right in that it’s likely SquEnix saving money.

One thing I will say, especially during Realm Reborn, new players often feel like skipping through story bits because it feels like it's taking too long. The first expansion (Heavensward) is where the story really picks up. Even so, don't skip the cinematics. And don't worry about watching cinematics during multi-player bits either. The community is known for being very patient with sprouts watching cinematics they haven't seen before. Neigh, as a matter of fact, they will downright plead with new players to not skip the cinematics.
And if you ever run into trouble, don't be afraid to ask, here but even in the game. The FF XIV community is pretty well known for being friendly to newbies.

I think you misread the numeral there.
Yeah, 16, not 14. 
Though I do no 14 is good. I’ve just never gotten into MMORPGs.
Also, because yes, I am playing on Story (easy) mode, I am cracking on through the story and loving it. Doing the side quests is fun, if sometimes tedious because of the mostly fetchquest nature of them. However, the story stuff you get from them are (mostly) worth it. In so cases to the point I wonder why they didn’t leave them as part of the main story rather Jan as optional stuff.
The Titan and Bagamut Eikon battles are the best parts, and Bahamuts special moves are worth it, once i got the hang of them. Though I’m still not the best at timing dodges.
Also kinda think they could (and should) have done more with Benedicta, as ending her so fast was a shame. And Jill should have gotten more active things to do..
