So... Destiny made me do something I swore I'd never do. (Destiny)

And that is buy a thempark MMO.

I have to say, the way information is presented to you in FFXIV:ARR is leaps ahead of many games. I was just so tired of Bungie attempting an 'mmo' styled game with Destiny and failing at it.

So much frustration that it drove me to the grindiest genre of gaming in existence.

And I love it.

I look at Destiny and I see many of the same things to do in FFXIV. You have 'fetch quests' and replaying certain areas of the world over and over again in order to achieve a higher level to do other things. But what I see that Destiny fails at is providing a reason to do them in-lore. So much of Destiny is actually 'gamey' in that the focus isn't on the universe, it's on the game itself. However, with this, just a minor quest to clear out some Dodos comes with paragraphs of dialogue that provides context and reasoning.

EDIT : It also does a thing I don't think I'd ever see Destiny do.
Major patches every three months, the newest one ADDING AN ENTIRE CLASS AND NEW JOB? That's crazy.
