So the Miqo'te girl in Idyllshire will finally get some lore and interaction with Wonderous Trails.
It is a simple mini-game where you create a little story for her.
What story will you form for this *cough* orphan*cough* little Miqo'te girl and her Carbuncle friend.

Judging by the page on the left showing DF banners for various duties I think this is a new system to encourage players to go back and replay old content. If I were to guess at the mechanics, it would appear that the various duties offer special quest item rewards (those items pictured down the right-hand side) that give a different overall reward based on the combination you create (that connect four style grid on the top-right).
It looks interesting for sure. Curious what the actual rewards are. -

I was thinking that this may be the feature to finally be able to re-play instanced battles (like from class quests or MSQ)

Whilst a way to replay MSQ content would be great I'm fairly sure this isn't it. -

7 duties are greyed out, and 7 stickers are placed in the grid to the right. It also says 7/9 next to it. You can also see the unused stickers below the number. Seems likely that you can complete any 9 out of the 16 duties displayed with each one allowing you to place a sticker in the grid. Rewards will likely depend on how many lines you can fill out.

I'm kinda hoping its more than just "Go do these instances!" and is instead something more like a challenge log... Not the crappy challenge log we have now, which basically throws rewards at you for just playing... An actual set of challenges... Sadly the Roulettes are on there, so it's almost certainly just "Go do these instances!", not that that's bad... I've been wanting a solid reason to keep doing old EX Primals and Coil for a while, although the rewards and timeframe for this are still a mystery... I'm guessing this will be a weekly sort of thing? I'd love it to be daily personally, but some of the content on there has me wondering if they'd do that, daily Coil runs sounds like something that'd annoy the average player... New tomestones and Gil as the primary rewards, anyones guess what the nutkin is covering though... Not how I'd have given old content new relevance, but I'll take it... Pretty excited for this... I probably shouldn't be...

looks like a scrap book or stamp collection book to me, maybe full of multiple pages, maybe its a daily thing like beast tribes "mister/miss warrior of light tell me about your adventures" Queue into mentor roullette?(doesnt matter if its unlocked for you, youll soon know to select "Not today Cinnamon Roll, maybe tomorrow!

08-30-2016, 11:40 PMYudzster

Kinda excited for this, even if it just looks like you get some extra rewards for playing bingo by doing certain content/roulette during a week

With the 2016/9/6 17:00 at the top of the book, I think it could be really a weekly thing.
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/a...5&d=1472272568
For the vignette, it seems to be in the order :
low level roulette | level 50 roulette | level 60 roulette | roulette ??? (unlisted), could it be raid roulette ?
Void Ark | Weeping City | Xelphatol ??? | Gubal Hard ???
Ifrit Ex | Ramuh Ex | Leviathan Ex | new trial (Sophia) ???
Ravana Ex | T4 | T6 | PVP Shatter -
08-31-2016, 01:41 AMSynestraI guess that "Second Chance" might be a "reroll button" for those objectives or atleast it sounds like one. Also can anyone get anything out of those letters next to nutkins right ear? it might reveal more info whats behind him :PQuote:

I don't really keep track of other community sites as reddit, so no idea if someone already went over the bits of Japanese text on the pic but...
so first off, the Japanese name for this content is クロの空想帳, which you can translate into "Kuro's book of fantasy/daydreams"
Also the way too blurry text in the gray box seems to be about reseting those stamps, and it mentions the name クロ・アリアポー, which can be read as something amongst the lines of "Kuro Ariapoh or Aliapoh"
Looks like that's the actual name for our Cinnamon Roll. A keeper name, huh
Plus the rewards that can be seen are for "completing (filing) 9 squares" and "1 line" -

Now what will be really neat is if the duties displayed, at least the singular ones, change every week to keep people coming back. One can hope right?

08-31-2016, 05:21 AMamihavingfunyetI think the third icon on the last row could be T6?Quote:

What if they implement the MSQ skip mentioned in magazine interviews? If they were going to do it, likely it would be for the next expansion. Being as such, wouldn't it make sense if they make some small carrot to motivate people to do the old MSQ and content when they otherwise had no reason to? If they did, they could release it before the expansion came out so we could get used to it, and reduce the outcry when we find out that people that buy the next expansion can just start without ever having to do much of the old primals and story. (Not that I'd care if they let people skip old MSQ, but I'm sure some people'd be a little unhappy)
Just throwing out random ideas but, is this some kind of system to make people go do the old MSQ and content (stuff like castrum meridium, the old primals, coil maybe?) , when possibly in the future it won't be required to advance the new expansion story? So like, maybe if you do this girls quests, then you get exp bonuses for when you level red mage/samurai or whatever. She probably gives you leveling gear or some other random stuff similar to how leves work? Otherwise people might side step old content and just do fates or something which would be mindless (but probably faster without a exp bonus).
What little I've gleaned from translated interviews seems to say the dev's don't want brand new players to be intimidated by the growing gap to "catch up" in the story... all those cutscenes and stuff to watch... I like watching them, but I know some that just wanna get to the punching stuff. -
