Idea discussion for new quests/missions

[Ralos]

Spoiler alert maybe?

Just for the purpose of discussion, I wanted to throw around some ideas with people about possible quests or missions people would like to see.

Personallay I'm a storyline driven player so some things I would like to see some quests/missions with elements from earlier in the game:

Quests that elaborate further on the AF quest stories. I'd love to learn more about the last DRG from the DRG AF quests or about Curilla's father as a RDM. the development team is adding/upgrading new AF related items all the time so I don't think it would hurt to make some of it quest-able and with a good story line.

I'd really like to see Lion again, after apoc. nigh she's apparently just been sleeping in Norg. She was the one story line NPC I always wanted to go into a battle with but never got to, only saw her in cut scenes.

storyline cross overs. We got one fun story line cross over with the apocalypse nigh quest, so let's do it again. I would love to see Prishe travel to whitegate, or watch Aphmau get sucked through a CAVERNOUS MAW to the past.

I also think it would be neat to add to the country specific missions. I'm rank 10 in all nations but I kind of miss the patriotism of being a San D'orian and getting the next rank up for the purpose of my home country.

Those are just a few ideas. What do you think of them and what sort of aspects are you looking for in new quests.

Storylines I'd like to see:

-A story involving Semih LeFinah, about a set of trials to prove her worthiness to take over from Perih Vashi as chieftainess of Windurst. Make it a series of missions for you and your npc as you help Semih through her trials and find out who's trying to sabotage her bid to be the successor.

note: This would be a good side story to a Olzhirya (Mithra Homeland) Expansion. Would be good this way due to the fact that Semih was born in Windurst and while introducing the new land to her, we would get the info as she does. The awesome fact that, if Mithra, you'd get the opportunity to join the ranks of the mithran sin hunters would be cool.

-Far East expansion / storyline. Tenzen requests your help because a new Emptiness zone has appeared in his home nation. Prishe, Ulmia, and Serpent General Mihli (Her home nation is on the borders of the Far East) travel there to investigate the Phenomenon.

- Kingfury had an interesting idea where you would visit Lady Lillith's alternate Vana'diel, in it's present.

Other than that. I'd need some time to think about it. Would like to see another Aht Urghan story arc, just so I could tell Naja where she can shove her membership in Salaheem's Sentinel's at.

I agree I miss the old days with story line driven content. Call my crazy but I loved CoP (pre nerf). Fights that took skill and planning to do, and not just throw burn groups on it.

I wouldn't mind an actual Political Intrigue Aht Urghan Storyline. I mean here we have Nashmeira who hides in the shadows (We know who she really is because she trusts us). What if we were asked to become an "enemy" of the Empire because the empress asks us too. So we can act to where she can't, because she's restricted by treaty or alliance. You would have a contact in either Nashmau or Aht Urghan Whitegate. You'd be "officialy" kicked out of Salaheem's Sentinel's for the duration. (To protect your cover) besides Nashmeira, only Naja would know of your under cover status and could be one of the contacts for the missions. Could be some fun there, especially getting some payback on Naja for the crap she put you through.

*Even though kicked out of Salheem's Sentinel's you'd still retain your ability to gain ISP and what not, you're just another mercenary just not tied to Salaheem's anymore*

*add: at the end of the arc it would be full circle, you discover the traitor and somehow gain ownership of Salaheem's Sentinel's, so now Naja works for you.You don't fire her of course, because while being a money grubbing wench, she's still the best business woman in the Empire*

Been thinking about what would meet Rank 10-15 missions for the various nations and if they are adding new areas I think this might be workable. Windy Rank 10-15 would be traveling to the Mithra Home Country and reestablish ties between Windurst, Kazahm and Olzhirya.

Bastok Rank 10 - 15 would resolve around Cornelia, as she decides to become an Ambassador for Bastok and would have her traveling to the Far East to establish formal relations with them, with all the potential Political Intrigue that that could involve.

San D'oria Rank 10-15 would resolve around the Gigas Homeland and the San D'orian expedition to discover why they've lost contact with their outpost they've established there.
