In the story quest "Ye of Little Faith," the player cannot interact with Goudernoux, a story-required NPC.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Load FFXIV with a level 38-40 character.
2. Proceed through the main storyline until picking up the quest: Ye of Little Faith
3. Speak with the three NPCs the quest objectives lead you to: The gate guard, the storeroom guard, and the chirurgeon above the storeroom.
4. Attempt to speak with the fourth NPC on the second floor of the barracks: Goudernoux
Result:
* The interaction seems to be successful at first, but no dialog is shown.
Expected:
* The quest dialog with Goudernoux is shown.
Note:
* This prevents story progression.

Bug reporting feedback:
Allowing bug reports like this from in-game would allow you to automatically collect most of the information in the template above. While I understand that making the bug reporting process difficult helps keep the GMs from being swamped, it's very, very frustrating to receive a response to a bug report in-game that tells the player to go to the forums to report the same bug in a more roundabout fashion.
Forum search feedback:
Searching for "Ye of Little Faith" (quotation marks included) actually does a substring search - The word "ye" returns the word "players" and other words with "ye" in them. That makes the forum search pretty much useless for attempting to find out whether I'm submitting a duplicate bug report.
