Gamer Escape: Thus far the hamlets near each city have remained unused. Will there be quests and content added to these locations along with the new quest hubs that have been mentioned?

Yoshida: Yes, we plan on implementing content centered around these areas, with the current aim being patch 1.20.

I would hardly call a guildleve style "run to this spot, kill 3 mobs, run back" objective a quest just because the NPC has a few extra lines of text. Can a nigga get a cutscene and some development? But yeah, good read. Lemme get them jobs.

Thanks for asking about arrow keys controlling the camera. It is just a matter of time until I can put down the logitech controller. ;)

I can't wait till I can put down my PS3 controller too. I want to be able to play with just the keyboard, or keyboard/mouse.

The job trails sound exciting - a welcome break from FFXI's "So, you're a Rank 75 Thief. But how's your dagger? Can. you. hit. anything?" That always sounded backwards to me.

I very much enjoy the idea of being good at the job because you're proficient with the weapon class, and it sounds like you'll be able to dimensionally expand based on that. Hopefully the trials will have some good story content around them.

I personally like to use my mouse to control the camera. I wonder what's so great about using the arrow keys.
