I honestly like the way the story is written long term in FFXIV, though in the short term pacing can be a problem.
In most MMOs, the expansions and the story are incredibly episodic. Every expansion has the bad dude of the year, and then you kill them and figure out who the next bad dude is.
FFXIV drops the fact that there is an ultimate foe (possibly, who knows if we're being shown the truth) and sprinkles that along the whole time.Â
As for the Ishgard plot, I think it will go on the backburner some, unless SUPRISE NIDHOGG ROUND 3, THE ULTRA FINAL STEPS OF FAITH.
