The point of the existing story skip is to make money, that notion is understood, however, I think this ultimately would lead to more subscribers due to the offering of a more flexible new player/leveling experience, and if it is one per account, if someone were to make an alt and want to skip ahead to the current expansion on it, they would still have to purchase it through the traditional means.

Any thoughts on this or support behind this idea? ]]> Quests ShigureNouka https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/527512-New-player-overwhelm https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/527446-MSQ-Suggestion-A-fun-FF7-reference-to-include.?goto=newpost Sun, 12 Apr 2026 19:55:02 GMT If you're looking for FF7 references to include in the next expansion, I think letting us choose an NPC companion to take on a Ferris Wheel ride would be great. I loved the scene in the MSQ when we were able to choose which Scion knocks on our door. :D

Why did they not keep it as a 8 player trial? It's been ages since i did the fight, But i remember having to do it solo and it being a pain to do solo and wishing it was a trial i could do with others it has been something I never understood. ]]> Quests Mogmi https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/527244-Cape-Westwind-%28Duty%29
