I'm not entirely certain how that would work if you can't access ARR content at all.

Am I the only one that's happy the Ascians won't be too involved in 4.0?
I'm honestly kinda sick of them.

Do people even read? 250 MSQ + 100 NSQ <=> 100 MSQ + 250 NSQ.

I'm kinda curious how often jump potions are actually used by new players in other games. $60 (or whatever SE goes with) plus the cost of the game seems like a lot of money to drop up front for something you may not like and stick with.
I'm not bothered either way. I like questing and leveling so I'd never use this option (and honestly I'd prefer for SE to give players in a rush the option to skip quests rather than having the quests condensed or removed).

As for the interview as a whole the main thing that stood out to me was less Ascian involvement in Stormblood. I'm getting kinda tired of them being behind everything and I hope the expansion focuses more on the relationships between the people of Eorzea, the Garleans, Beast Tribes, ect.

I was too slow! But you're definitely not alone there.
I've got one friend who sighs pretty much every time they're on screen.

Scorched earth....I like.

I'd also like to see a special icon above the character for the first 20+ hours that they play to denote their jumped up status - so people know what level of play to expect.

Why would you not be able to access ARR, or are you saying that players who buy StormBlood and a leveling potion have no access to ARR content at all?

That really would destroy ARR content over time.

What is there to cry about exactly?
- We have an exclusive calamity tattoo design.

I'm all for keeping exclusive designs and adding more designs for everyone, to include multiple in various locations on the character models.

The team has plenty of lore to go off of for design options and player choices.

I'd think for the "jump to 60" pots, they'd make them only usable once a character already has a job to 60 (note: character, not player). Granted, I predicted something like that for WoW's leveling potion, and was completely off the mark there. I can hope they won't do it here because of how important the story is to this game, but we shall see.

I actually hope they don't get rid of classes entirely. Several of the classes actually have better storyline and fantasy in their quests than their job counterparts, and I'd be sad to see them go.

Guys a jump potion doesnt matter really because so much content is already skipped now are done unsnyc anyway only players that wana learn will learn others will just get carried.
