Extreme Modes, Main Storyline, Seriously?...

[Wobble]

While I think it's nice they are adding extreme modes for the hardcore/extreme players (and I may even try them myself.) I do not think its right to make them part of the main storyline, they should be more of an optional thing and not something we are forced to do in order to advance our game. Not everyone enjoys the hard modes as it is so why force this on everyone?

Why did they force me into 300 quests of drudgery? I think you'll be ok.

Did they say they were part of the main storyline? I thought I read them say completion of the main storyline was a prerequisite (which should be a given). The main storyline is already finished. I could have swore they said the Extreme modes would have a quest(s) to do with them.

There is a quest to undertake obtaining your Relic Weapon, it is not a main storyline quest, but also requires you to have completed the main storyline to obtain.

I think you're just confusing it. Or are you seriously complaining that there are quests related to the Extreme Modes?

i think everyone is getting the wrong idea with this "main quest". The main quest is already over after pretorium, and continue in the binding coil. You don't have to deal with extreme primals to exp, you'll have to do it after pretorium and hard primals

[Wobble]

It seemed like it said was part of the main storyline, maybe I read it wrong?

[yukikaze_yanagi]

He say main storyline, but i think it's used in the way as "a important part of the story", just like hard primals and binding coil are important for the main story even after the main scenario quests are over. Also, think about it: wouldn't be strange insert extreme primals in the main quests, before the hard modes and praetorium ?

Well, the prerequisite for extreme primal is titan HM. Titan HM is not part of the main storyline. Neither is coil. Extreme primals will be the same. It is optional but you have to beat them to get the best gears. Beating all three extreme primal battles will get you an ilvl90 weapon.

I feel for the casuals and understand their plight. However, on a personal level I like hard content "Main story wise". Like CoP in FFXI Yes it was hard and annoying at times, but the reward was worth it. This will be the same.

COP dungeons made me quit FFXI. Farming and using the best two abilities to cheese the bosses after herding an alliance that had to reform into 3 parties was a waste of a day.

Thats a bummer. CoP storyline was tough and required alot of time, planning, and dedication. But rewards aside, the story was SO GOOD. The music was even better.
