[dev1002] No quest cutscenes no motivation to play.

Another thing, the new sidequest all point towards the empire attacking / prophecies that we heard from the grand companies page, of the umbral eras. I'm truly amazed with them.

@Seif: You obviously are imagining things, or are blinded by nostalgia. Most of the quests in FFXI did *not* have any cutscene.

seif what quests?
job quests were not "side quests"

nor were the ones linked to the main story.

and the lore isn't the main story lore it is just goings on in town. like the lalafell one S.E.X said (sorry had to XD) the 1 where a lalafell killed someone.... that is local lore. not story lore which is what the side quests are about.

Maybe there is just a disagreement over what constitutes a cut scene?

Anyways, I'm glad to hear the new quests are more interesting. The few I did from the first round felt so so.

I've seen this XI didn't have cutscenes during quests argument before and it literally leaves me speechless because I've played the game I've seen the non-mission cutscenes are you trying to convince somebody else who hasn't played the game or is there something else I'm not getting here? They do have cutscenes I can't play a game for over 2 years and imagine things. And I'm not talking about storyline missions I've seen way more quest cutscenes than mission cutscenes during my time in XI.

The cutscenes were more common AFTER the Chains of Promathia expansion as it was pointed out. This is FFXIV. Do we have an expansion yet? No.

CoP was the 2nd Expansion for XI. Don't expect cutscenes for sidequests anytime soon.

You're really making a mountain out of a molehill.

I remember quests like the Star Onion Brigade set in FFXI, that really stood out to me because of the cutscenes.
They were minor, but they were still cutscenes.
