Am I the only one who wants a very long msq line in stromblood ?

I wouldn't mind more meat to the MSQ that comes with every patch. Not filler like the ARR was with the errand-boy quests in abundance.

Gating, linear play, however you want to term it, is almost required to give a sense of direction and flow to the story. IE: Onward to Azys Lla, an Allagan marvel that has been untouched for millenia! Oh wait, the player has already ventured there. Talk about no build up; the experience is ruined.

In another thread, yours actually, there had been some points as to why it shouldn't be open-world/sandbox.

That being said, SE won't ever give up on their lore. It's what makes the story function in the first place.

I want a very long storyline. So no you are not the only one.

I mean of course there will be some gating , but im hoping it want be like swiming blocked zones or something like the flying zones in hw. I hope that they can do it in a way to at least where you dont have to stream line the story and can enjoy it in a reasonable pace. I like a bit of filler with my meat to hahah.

I definitely don't want any more aether compassing. It was tedious, and made no actual sense. I can get that they want flying to feel like it's something you earned, but the questing was so tedious.

I heavensward story my few complaints are some story thread was not fresh out enough or ended weirdly quick, ex: warriors of darkness, raubahn and the sultana resolve. Those were badly implementing but could be better if it had just a few more story quest to make it work.

Yeah i felt like these ones were solved way too quick, like it was just another tuesday.

I hope Stormblood MSQ is long AND enjoyable, not just long for the sake of being long (like the go pick the crystal to enter the primal lairs, ops wrong one, wrong one, ooopies wrong again).

This is the most important thing I've seen in the thread. I'm all for a long MSQ as long as it's engaging and the number and types of quests reflect solid MSQ content. However, on the other hand I'd rather have 100 meaningful quests than 500 filler quests.

This game is so diverse....

yes they set the bar higher in HW in terms of story telling and i'd expect nothing less from stormblood. you are not alone in wanting a very long msq. i also wish they put in more CGI videos on top of regular cutscenes like the one you get after you beat T12

I believe people who want longer story content mean all 500 of those quests would be meaningful (or close to it), just to use your example.

Not only do I want it, I expect it. This is a Final Fantasy title.

Couldn't agree more. The story is great and all, but really? Not only can you not just go out and unlock them, but you have to do [certain] sidequests to get them along with MSQ. I won't feel the least bit sad to see that go.

We might actually get that. Alexander wasn't tied to the main story at all, but Omega Weapon is. Just like Bahamut and Coil; I'm giddy over this. :>
