Me: Watching a story focused playthrough of Final Fantasy XIV ARR (starting in Ul'dah) and enjoying it so far. Guy Playing: Keeps trying to apologize for how "slow and generic" the story is early on and insisting it gets better. Me: "But, but it's fine right now, what's there to apologize for? It's playing set up sure because it's the beginning but I'm liking both the story and the characters so far." Guy Playing: Talks about how much better voice acted, directed etc. later scenes are after a flashback to the Calamity. Me: "Sure they may very well be but I didn't see what was bad about that one or these voice actors in general, they seem fine to me." Am I insane? Or is it really just that it's THAT much better later that the start seems bad to this guy by comparison? :maybe
