How similar to

Distopia

..The Last Remnant... are the story elements in this game as you progress higher in lvl? I"ve been having some fun with it (got it on steam for like 3 bucks). My wife and I have been thinking about getting FFXIV, I know the combat is different, but I do remember it fondly from beta. Playing TLR heightened my interest, I just want to see if I can expect something close to that atmosphere in FFXIV, or should I lower my expectations a bit?

Not really like last remnant. Its more like WOW with slower combat. Not a bad game if you don't my slow combat.

Its pretty bad for me and my point still stands true. Just slower combat lol. If you like slow combat good for you but its to slow for me.

He asked if the story elements are similar to TLR, reading is hard I guess. 

Anyway OP, I haven't touched TLR but I find FFXIV to be the most immersive themepark experience to date and they are constantly expanding the story with every patch.

Yep totally got that from his post. Guess you know how to read between the lines. Like I said its like wow with slower combat and the story isn't anything great. My opinion, same as your post.

I don't need to know of the combat I"ve played it enough to know about that:) , I was asking how deep the story goes, because SE can be masterful in that regard. Thanks either way, no harm no foul, I don't mind a warning about what others view as boring. It can be helpful.

Thanks for the answer CB, looking forward to hearing more about it, and eventually playing. As soon as I'm done a couple other games I just bought and my wife get's her copy I'll be in FFXIV.

I'd say that the story is probably one of the best in any MMO I have placed in the last 5 years. I felt connected to the story line and it feels a lot like the single player FF games do. I think the story is well written with protagonists/antagonists you will love, learn to love, and hate. As well as mystery surrounding many people.
Personally one of my favorite Final Fantasy story lines that seamlessly make their home along other great RPG games.

they clearly outdid themselves in the story. the reason is, its not only a main storyline, but sidestories along the line that grow with the game with you. and many things that you did not think it will matter, will matter. Hint : Edda

Distopia

Thanks all looking forward to it.
