"New game plus - quests will have no rewards..."

This is something I'll be looking into, and honestly, I'm glad it doesn't offer rewards. If it offered rewards, I would have considered not doing it at all because not everything needs to offer material rewards (and to offer rewards would have annoyed me). Honestly, I'm glad they did it this way. It means I can work on enjoying revisiting the story. ARR being absent has me raise an eyebrow though. Still, will be nice to revisit some of them. I'm of the mindset also that PvP should only offer PvP rewards. If it's something you enjoy, why not make that the idea behind doing it. I hate PvP. Despite how awesome of the Garo gear looks, I don't want to get it because I despise PvP. While for some things I get they need to offer the carrot to avoid complications for other players, this is about your personal journey. Therefore, it offering rewards of any kind seems silly when the whole point of it is to revisit old story.

we are getting new game + because many players have been requesting for a way to replay certain instanced MSQ fights for a very long time (at least since the grand melee all the way back in Heavensward), and not because some people wanted yet another easy exp source to speed level alt jobs, geez

This feature is certainly aimed at people like me who just want to redo the story including the solo instances with new jobs/new races or just for fun, this doesn't need exp as there are plenty of other ways to get it much faster too.

In before they put a mount/minion behind an achievement for this and we get multiple threads complaining the carrot isn't worth it put it somewhere else XD

And others are here saying they’re happy with it and disproving your original statement of how this is a “useless feature that no one will use”.

I know there are people who will be happy with just replaying the story. But do you know that that is not everyone? Are you this ok with denying others a feature they could enjoy? Why?

I know there are people who will be unhappy that they don’t have a carrot that entices them to play the content. But you do know that that is not everyone? Are you this okay with trying to tell them what they find enjoyable and worthwhile? Because it seems like you’re doing a lot of that in this thread.

You seem to be shocked that players would like this feature without things attached to it. Have you never replayed a single-player game just for pure enjoyment? Reread a book or series of books simply for pleasure? That’s the purpose of this feature. Not another way for people to bumrush alt jobs.

If that is the case, and i have my doubts, then what exactly is your problem? If the exploit is happening already having new game + give XP rewards would change absolutely nothing. So, again, why are you adamant in denying people a feature they could enjoy? I mean, just the fact that you think the game should now be designed with everything the bots do in mind is ridiculous. Should we also remove mob drops from the overworld? Shall we remove quest cause bots do them? Should we remove gathering nodes cause bots farm them? Just stop.
The bots are a problem on squeenix back end and that is where it needs to be fixed. Not in the game design.

You can stop with the strawmans. They don’t help you.

I can honestly see myself never bothering with this if there isn't at least some xp reward (don't care if there's no gil or anything else you can get). You can't really use it to "play the story as a different job" if you're not gaining xp by doing it, you'll still have to do other things to level the other job so you can keep up with the increasing level requirements of the quests, even more so than usual if you're gaining no xp from replaying the story. I don't really care about replaying through things I've already done for nothing, especially when all I really care about are the cutscenes that I can watch any time at the inn.

Yeah I'm definitely not gonna be using this now,I could just make a new character and it would do the same thing. Even better since I can mail my main the gil after actually.

Honestly I didn't even expecting any rewards from NG+ so I'm not disappointed.
The story itself is enough for me to use this NG+.

Have you ever reread a novel, rewatch a movie, replay a song just because they are THAT good ? that's what this feature for.

not everything is replayable in the unending journey. that's the point.

It needs to give experience at least, or it's largely pointless. Rewards matter, it's not much of a game if you aren't getting anything. If you just want to just relive the story, go to the inn. FFXIV has a one character system, if this were another MMO you'd have the opportunity to go through a reward filled story every single time you played a different class(job), thus FFXIV should be no different.

It needs XP.

I cant wait for doing quest from all the expansions again on my main.

I think though that the dev team should change the name because it's seems that NG+ is misleading for some people. Ng+ is rear in MMos. could be the first time that mmo feature this cant tell not a mmo expert its not like ng+ from the single player game that reset your progress but let u keep your stuff or level or both. it's more like replay feature if honest.
