Concern about Yoshida's latest interview

[Airget]

This really comes down to a sit and wait attitude, it sounds interesting and perhaps classes will have more defined quest oriented towards them rather than the simplistic journey we are currently given. It's very possible that the lv 20/30/37 quest will be designed to give you enough xp for 1 lv and be more involved then what we have now. Or those could stay as they are now and a new line of class quest will be added at 10-20-30-40-50 which are more involved then the class quest we have now.

The way they seem to be planning the new leveling system is to make it more of a journey and less of a pull and group kill while people PL one another. Basically they will most likely make it where a group who runs through a dungeon together of the same lv will be able to earn more xp in x amount of time thena party who just grinds. At the same time though the group that does the dungeon will also have a chance to get rare/ex loot compared to those that just grind.

Most likely "grinding" wise will only be possible through guild leves but leveling outside of GL will no longer be a viable option and most likely just be used to gather materials and spiritbond high level gear.

Though only time will tell and perhaps it will change based on the input giving during alpha. I'm glad he understands the "importance" of VA as to where it should be ina story. I look forward to seeing the a scenes acted out in the main story plots but when it comes to "killing a horde of mobs infesting x area" there's no need to vocalize such a simplistic task since it doesn't add to what you are doing. But for the main story to see that vocalized and acted out brings out the scenes that should have more life to them.

They seem really ambitious to add a lot of new quest every 2 months so I doubt people will find themselves repeating the same quest if they lv a new class from 1-50 but of course time will tell XD.

LOL EXP GRINDING LOL LOL LOL that's pretty funny considering he said no to that. Also farming, there will be no farming in this game either. http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...2-2.0-Leveling "not like at the moment where you have to do monster camping or farming, that's not going to work in 2.0."

"...that's not going to work in 2.0"

You keep going on about the English translation of what a French person reported on what a Japanese person said.

No way possible there could have been some meaning loss in converting the statement over three languages amirite?

Nah man. Lost in Translation is just a movie. Movies aren't real.

Doesn't matter, if Rokien thinks it will be like that, it is true...

While I can see that being a potential problem, I'm sure they've already though about it. Like one person said, there will probably be the main story quests and then quests that relate more towards your job/class. I really doubt that they will limit it in a way where after you get your first 50 job the rest of them won't have any more quests to do.

The way he says that makes me think they might be bringing back Limit Breaks. I mean it's not like there going to make mobs give 0 exp, which is the only way that current exp parties wouldn't work.

[Mirage]

I think it's just a poor translation of a poor translation that initially meant something like:

"the game won't be made in a way that will require you to just grind grind grind to get anywhere!

The way he says it makes me think this is Vindictus with simplistic combat.

[Jynx]

I'm really on my knees praying that that Yoshida didn't really mean that exp-parties would be useless in 2.0. I want to still be able to build my party and not have to crawl inside instanced caves to level up.

[Alhanelem]

More fucking varied than grinding the same mob for 300 hours, that's for sure.

This, so much this.

'm not really even sure where people are getting this idea that leveling up will be drastically different fom how it is now.

[indira]

content leveling just means you'll be doing other than direct grinding making less of a pain, but thats if they make it other than kill quest.
