Letter From the Producer IX.

[Shiyo]

What the hell in that letter makes you assume so?

Because that would make the most sense, I assume that, but I hope that they AREN'T like that at all. I'm just waiting to see how the dungeons and quest hubs are now.

@GabbaGabba I don't want to grind the same dungeon over and over again for AF and RSE gear, and those were just examples, we could easily get different types of gear. I would rather have story based missions/quests for gear, not stupid boring WOW clone dungeon grinds. If I want a WOW clone, I'll go play rift, a much better game.

so farming the same mobs for hours just to hopefully get a key to drop which was a very low drop rate, then to pray that the treasure chests aren't camp by a thf who runs around unlocking all the chests which can have a very long spawn rate.
if you dont remember, thats how you get AF/RSE gear in ffix.

not many quests in ffxi rewarded gear either. most if not all of the gear came from drops/crafts/bcnms. BCNMs which can be translated to an instanced dungeons.

AF quests had a good story behind them. COP had a good story, TOAU had a good story, zilarts story sucked but meh, WOTG had a good story. Rank10 missions had a decent story. All of this content was challenging, unlike WOWclone dungeons that aren't experts/heroics(and those are easy after you get gear FROM those dungeons ._.) BCNM's were unique boss fights. RSE wasn't anything special but it was another low level gear option and something for you to do besides leveling. Basically, at least it was different. I don't know about most people, but after playing WOW for 5+ years I don't feel like playing the same MMO until I die.

pretty much everything you listed came out as an expansion. AF wasn't in the game until after lv50. just because they aren't not releasing storyline missions doesn't mean they wont release it in the future. Again everything is waiting on the battle system changes.

Those were all F'n expansions.. >_>

Sorry, but i got to page 7 and I just have to say that your bickering and crying has gotten on my nerves even. We don't even know what the dungeons actually are like. Not even Quest Hubs. This isnt a place to speculate not even TRANSLATE Japanese posts, because it simply gets misinterpreted and becomes a cry-baby fest.

Hurry up and wait.

You're wrong kind sir we all know WoW came up with everything first including dungeons.

Rift thought about doing instanced dungeons before WoW even came out so technically it was Rift's idea, WoW just came out with it first

Ah so the turtle didn't win this race huh?
Nah i'm just messing around it just seems like no matter what SE do it gets related to WoW some how like it's the grandfather of MMOs.
