Alpha Video 4- Quests and Battle

[Kallera]

What is your defense against people who are going to get their quest guide from third party fansites and youtube videos, and are going to build the easiest party setup and follow the easiest/cheesiest strategy? Keep in mind that these people are going to be in the overwhelming majority, 80% and above.

I you want to reduce the game to a theme park of amorphous shopping list in a race to the relic/bahamut gear/ what have you, the FF feel will be just as hollow, and the ring of "WoW clone" will be all over the place.

I'm asking for a mix to provide challenge and interest for the crowd. Have something meaningful, it doesn't have to be computer babysitting anymore than it has to be Shin megami tensei I difficult.

Let me ask again. How do you prevent people from getting guides from third party sites and building a "shopping list" of things they need to do, and the easiest way for them to do it, in order to get to their end-goal?

People buy Gil with third party sites, and attempt to make bots and trainers for the game, does that mean we should demand that SE open a shop to trade real money for fake? Should SE hire players to do autoleveling at your convenience and money's behest?

No company is going to prevent the eventual FAQ that will come out of their game, that doesn't mean they shouldn't try to make a challenging game. Was Dark Souls such a failure, or Dragon's Dogma? Would they have stood out so from their crowds if they were easygoing romps with "attack will land here" markers abound?

finding where to go next is a challenge? umm...okay

If it is so obvious then why should there be markers for it all the time? I'm not even asking for it to be removed, just include quests where some exploration is needed, spot is in the general area stuff. Don't make it required for every part of the quest.
