Can't Complete Any RoV Quests/Missions

Is that so? o_o I've had other people tell me that it's better to get it over and done with ASAP, especially if planning to main GEO. Thanks though!

RoV is super important for what it does to the game for you, but for the sake of your sanity, it really isn't great to do them alongside everything else because you may end up pulling your hair out figuring out why you can't proceed with the next quest or why you get stuck in the middle of it.

Personally I prioritize get RoV done before any other mission line because of the bonuses and events it opens up.

Yes, it does open a lot of stuff. But it can't be done "before any other mission line" because it depends on those mission lines themselves being mostly completed. And those bonuses and such don't do all that much for the missions themselves.

There is a complex web of quest dependencies that can be tricky to follow even with a good guide and the official info availablle here. The missions aren't hard. do them first, then you can plow through RoV without stopping in between.

You'll get it done in the same amount of time, probably less, and with less stress. and more fun. Call me "contrarian" if you want- everyone who already had those missions done when RoV began never had to worry about any of those roadblocks. I think that's worth a lot.

Not even close to the same rewards if you do the expansions in order vs doing only what's needed to complete RoV first. Each rhapsody is worth 30% exp and many other bonuses like increased skillup rates which trump completion rewards of 10% exp bonus for each storyline independantly.

It really doesn't take that long to go through the mission lines first, you're really not losing out on that much against the total time you'll likely be playing the game. And also if you do that you don't get a million "Why can't i complete this quest" bug reports (but to be fair, if they at least updated the existing quests so they say "you will need to complete XYZ thing before proceeding further," and similarly updated quest start NPCs to say "To accept/proceed with this quest you must first do XYZ thing", well that would mitigate this problem a lot)

It sure would eliminate the I can't progress problem: they will have missions left off at points where the NPC's blocking progress are guaranteed to be available for progress. Increased skillup rates, more trusts, cheaper transportation and being able to buy food or items from moogles can be big time savers. If a person isn't going to be playing everyday then the RoV bonuses are even more important.
