Alpha First Look: Video 5 - Quests and Combat

Y-yeah guys. FFXI's quests were m-m-much better!

HEY SONNY YOU NEED TO HIT LEVEL 55 NOW FARM THESE SILLY ENEMIES FOR A CERTAIN ITEM.

NOW DO IT AGAIN FOR 60.

NOW 65.

NOW 70.

WANNA GET THAT SUBJOB? COLLECTS THESE THREE ITEMS THAT DROP FROM MOBS.

KILL THIS NM FOR ME.

Yeah, FFXIV's quests are soooooooo unoriginal.

Just to clear something up here. Genkai 3(65 cap raise) was about getting three crests that were in specific locations, not mob drops aka no killing involved. Genkai 2 (60 cap raise) was a key item drop, just go kill three enemies and get the ??? from the ground. Genkai 1 (55 cap raise) had the situation were you had to farm just like subjob ( To remind the player of their first pattern ). While Genkai 4 (70 cap raise) had nothing to do with killing enemies.

While the last Genkai was to defeat Maat himself as the class you represented.

Completely missed the point. You're essentially doing the same thing other MMOs have done as well. FFXI players are the biggest bunch of hypocrites because they assume that their game performed things any different, when the only difference was that they didn't get EXP after clearing a quest, and the quest was incredibly cryptic.
