Yeah, but supposedly even normal won't be MSQ-related. Lemme find a quote.
EDIT: The quote I was thinking of was from this Famitsu interview. Take note that the original wording (and Japanese's innate lack of plural forms) isn't really clear on whether this is just for 3.1, or a new precedent.
He tends to repeat himself, so it may be clearer in another interview, but I'm tired of digging. Suffice to say: cautious optimism. I'll believe it's MSQ when I see it.In the 3.X series, rather than having a single main storyline which also unlocks the content, we've decided to have multiple parallel paths so that players can start wherever they like. For example, you start the primal quest and unlock it right away without being forced to skip through the main scenario.
