wish I could reboot the story on my main

I'd love this. Let us redo the MSQ, class/job quests, and sidestory quests.

It's not the same as starting a new character because it would be possible to just continue from one quest to the next, giving us the story all together. This is especially an issue for the class and job quests that come only one quest each five levels. Every time I go back to a class/job I haven't played for a while and level it a bit more, I end up with the next page of a story I'd left off on weeks or months ago. The class and job questlines have some good stories to them if you can actually remember what had been going on in the previous one. I'd love to go back, once I've completed a class to 30 or job to 50 or 60, and review the whole sequence of class/job quests in order, putting the story together so I can see it all at once. The Unending Journey only gives a few little bits and pieces here and there. The majority of what goes on in quests happens during non-cutscene dialog, and that's currently a one-time only thing we can't get again except with a new character.

And what about high-level side stories. There are likely a lot of people who would enjoy doing the Hildebrand quests again, but wouldn't want to start a new character and level/gear them all the way to 50 just to get one more run through that sidestory. The effort to payoff ratio just doesn't fit.

Lore junkies would likely love a feature like this, too. How many "didn't that one quest back at level X mention something about this?" questions could be answered if you could just go back and repeat the quests that relate to whichever issue you're looking into.

Like that time that H made comments about my, um, muscles -- I couldn't even find that one again while going through the MSQ on an alt, but I remember it like it was only last year ...

Yup this, and you cannot talk to all the NPCs involved in each quest at the journal either. I missed a bunch of these bits before I realised I was missing out on some good one liners sometimes.

Delete your character and remake it.

Otherwise its just not an authentic experience.

You have said that several times by now - and it was pointed out several times already that it is NOT the same. I might dont want to repeat the whole mainquest but only, lets say, the last five quests before playing through the new patch - because there were 2-3 months in between and I'd like a reminder what happend (and yes, yes, yes I can read that up online or something like that, but no thanks, I would prefer to have the feeling of that quest again). Same goes for the job/class-quest - its already have been pointed out that there are 5 (or 2, with HW) level in between each quest - I might have left a job for a while (like: before HW) and would like to play through the job quest again before going on. I mentioned several times already that I would LOVE to do Hildibrand again - and I bet I would do those quests every 3-4 months, while I've got nothing to do but would like to have a good laugh - and you're really telling me to get a new character up each time I would like to do that?

I cant even see why it would harm anyone to have such a feature - the Journal isnt hurting you lore-wise obviously, why cant we extend that? I understand that it is not an "authentic experience" to you - but why does that mean that no one else can enjoy this feature and should instead just start from scrap again, even deleting a character s/he invested hours into? No one is taking away the option to make a new character - but I would prefer to re-do some fights and cutscenes on my already well-geared, well prepared main. I neither have the time nor the patience to level a second character whenever I wanna see that ONE quest again.
Also: the whole information we're requesting access to, is already in the game - all we would need is an NPC who has all the quests available - we already have a list of all quests we've done - once you pick a quest out of his list, you can return to the spot and do the quest again, whats so difficult about that? I could reset quests a thousand times by not turning them in... so it must be possible to reset a quest in a different way, right? Just remove the rewards and let me do Hildibrand and every freaking Quest with Ysale again ;_;

- Go to the Inn.
- View MSQ cutscene.
- Use DF for the dungeon/trial.
- View more MSQ cutscenes.
- Rinse and repeat.

Only thing you CAN'T do is some fights, so... I guess my note is pointless lol

Yes, it is sadly, because you're missing the fact that you CANT watch all Cutscenes that are in the game - and you're missing ALL of the non-cutscene-dialouge even if you're watching the few, hand-picked Cutscenes that are in the journal. Has been mentioned several times already...

Very few of the quests have any cutscenes at all, and even for the ones that do, those cutscenes cover only a tiny portion of what the quest did. And out of hundreds of quests, there's only a handful of them that include a dungeon or trial, so that doesn't get you much either. The vast majority of what went on in quests is gone forever once you've completed them.
