If this is the kind of brainless, repetitive, uninspired and boring crap some of you people consider "engaging and fun content", well then be happy... Looks like you're gonna be drowning in it.

well boring, repetive, uninspired was "standing in one place and grind your ass off"... in my opinion. Like you did in FFXI.
lots of time sink because you had to regenerate hours for your MP and HP.

That has nothing to do with GAMING experience like in an offline final fantasy. like Final Fantasy 12 etc.


AND Questing wont be the only thing to do.. Public Events, Low Level dungeon with bosses in it.. guildleves... and thats how i call it fun..


When you want to grind your ass off, do so. nobody will ever stop you. and that you have to look up the internet for some of the quest steps in FFXI is just BAD Gamedesign. that you dont even had to do in an offline FF.


if you have a map with you, why cant the quest giver mark it on the map, where he told you to go? is a map that unrealistic? not to me. and i think its better to read through bubbles than through a quest text box... nobody would read the quest box..

Awesome strawman there.

I'm talking specifically about the questing in FFXIV: ARR being a mindless, brainless endeavor as compared to questing in FFXI actually deserving the description, by making the player actually have to figure out and find things on their own.

I'm pretty clear in what I'm talking about, so you had to try pretty hard to completely miss it that completely.

Try again?
