Ideas for expanding content in roulettes?

[Carin-Eri]

I think it'd be really useful if it were made clear which Sidequests are more significant. Can't help but wonder if the reason some of these dungeons are not being unlocked is that newer players are not aware of the (side)quest chains that unlock them?

To cite one example (and speaking in terms of in-game information) it isn't entirely obvious that you unlock the YoRHa: Dark Apocalypse Quests by talking to a Dwarf and accepting a quest with a pretty non-descript name.

I agree.

About 6 months ago I created a new character and bought a lvl 80 boost + story skip to play with friends and join their fc on another DC. The story skip unlocks only the MSQ and flying. Nothing else. It means no retainers, no glamours, no combat chocobo, no aesthetician and no side content, including raids and trials. The quantity of blue markers all over the map was overwhelming (and a bit discouraging) and requires to put in a lot of time to unlock all that content. If you want to unlock raids and trials you have to do the questlines and queue for them too. Even if some are soloable with the proper level for faster unlocks and I know where to go, it still takes a considerable amount of time to do do all the questlines.

I wish there was an option with an npc I could talk to to unlock an entire old raid/trial series quickly.

If people start at level 1, it takes much longer too. The same goes for new players who bought a boost. They don’t know how many raids there are and where to get the quests like the Nier raids that you mention. Maybe they should at least put the initial quest givers in the main cities and give a different quest color icon for group content unlocks.


On top of that, OPs server is on Dynamis, a young DC with a low population, which explains why they keep getting a very limited range of trials and normal raids.

For the record, I play on Aether the majority of the time. I have 90s on Aether, and my Dynamis character usually has to travel to get roulettes done since the Dynamis queues are horrendous

That implies there are queues on Dynamis.

Most days of the week not a single alliance duty queue pops there.

I do prefer dynamis for the low level dungeons to mindlessly clear the remaining portions of roulette for.

I thought it was pretty common knowledge, if you see a blue quest marker, it will unlock something optional? Dungeons, trials, raids, dyes, glamour, melding, changing your hairstyle, beast tribe, hunts - https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Feature_Quests

It sounds more like they're looking for more specificity in terms of what gets unlocked. Like if there was somehow slightly differing markers depending on whether a questline opens group content (e.g. dungeon/raid) vs. beast tribes vs. glamour, etc..
