[Lighthouse Spoilers] Can we please stop with the stupid fetch quests?

[Tridus]

Honest question: do people realize the Wandering Dramaturge is the game's insert for Yasumi Matsuno? He's not just 'some guy.'

I don't know who that is, and the game certainly doesn't tell me. He's "some guy" to me, and to the WoL he's definitely "some guy".

The fetch quest was a little long, but Hancock made it worth it. It was even better if you talk to Gegeruju after you obtain the bottle of wine. Hancock really instrumented the perfect ruse... And we were just pawns in it, despite us also getting something out of it.

Hancock was about when I completely lost my mind at how inane this whole thing was. He conveniently just shows up out of nowhere to solve a problem that doesn't need solving by screwing someone else over for no particular reason except that we need a bottle of wine because some guy asked for one.

It's bad fanfic level writing.

And they needed a big filler quest for that reference? I mean they already have the characters from the game, the bosses, the names for location. Shoulndt that be enough? Or they could have let us get the wine in one single little quest that takes us to one place, gather it and then get some nice new information from the NPC. You would have the wine reference without the annoying filler and maybe we would have gotten more real information and lore. I mean when they said that this would be a long and epic storyline I did not think that one quest would just let us kill random red chocobos that are not native to Yanxia or fetch a wine for someone that costs more than an estate and would have us travel to the other side of the world.

Exactly. If they wanted to do a reference to the wine, they could have asked us to get a bottle of wine. We go, get a bottle of wine, come back. That takes 30 seconds, and while it's a fetch quest, it lets them get the reference in without wasting loads of people's time.
