    SE stated they would involve quests that would clear up a lot of the 1.0 storylines. Well the Lalafell Twins are back (sorta), Greinfarr is part of the Blacksmith questline, F'lhaminn is back with the new storyline with Minfilia. Basically for newer players, the DoH/DoL questlines in 1.0 involved Lore and weren't just fetch quests.

    I am with the OP here, I loved the miner twins. Who were in more than just the miner quests in 1.0, for the record.

    But I'm of two minds here. On the one hand, I completely agree that so many of the quests are yawn-tastic groanfests in ARR. Yes Serendipity, we know exactly who the bad guy here is... etc. Oh, there's a Grand Inquisitor in the Ishgard section of the quest line? I'm sure he's definitely not corrupt and we won't have to fight him later, simply by knowing that they named him "Grand Inquisitor". GG, SE.

    But at the same time, many of the quests in 1.0 were much worse. Much, much worse. The worst for me were always the Archer (not Bard) quests in 1.0. You get assigned a NPC "partner" at the beginning of the questline, and are told how important it is for Archers to have partners, to always think of their partner first, to develop a relationship with your partner, and so forth...

    ...and then, FOR THE REST OF THE QUESTLINE, the entire story is your partner talking about how cool her LAST partner was, how much she misses her LAST partner, skipping out on quests with you, etc. It's like, excuse me, I'm standing right here, you disrespectful NPC!

    Which, in a nutshell, was the problem with almost all of 1.0's quests. Almost none of the NPC's talked to YOU. They talked to EACH OTHER. And then they looked over at you, noticed you were standing there, and were like, "Oh... um... this is awkward... here, go have an instance, and leave us alone, kthx."

    I didn't mind the storyline in 2.0 but the 1.0 miner storyline had its own merits.
    =D maybe they'll bring them back in the future!? T_T Maybe...<_< dang it, hope springs eternal!!

    Personally, I'd really like it if they added the 'flower girls' back into the Miners Guild. T_T
    There was even a huge thread in the 1.0 forums begging SE not to remove them in 2.0 and ...and they still removed them!! -weeps!!-

    Are there videos of the old 1.0 DoL/DoH quests? I capped DoW/DoM in 1.0 but I didn't touch crafting and gathering so I missed these quests and their associated paraphernalia (including star-spangled subligar ; .

    Because if I don't, I feel like I can't help inspire square to bring them back to their former glory. I want Square to know that I miss my awesome Lala's and you miss their sister (as is plane as day by your sig XD)...and as I can see, I'm not alone XD

    But then the quests wouldn't fit the script that nearly all the other quests have:

    Get me X number of things.
    This guy/girl doesn't like you for [Reasons] and or your guild leader doesn't like you for [Reasons]
    Work with this guy/girl that doesn't like you for [Reasons] and bring me X number of things.
    Make peace with guy/girl that doesn't like you for [Reasons] and bring me X number of special things.
    You are a winner, number one. Everyone loves you.

    Having an opinion does not make you right or wrong, it simply means you have an opinion. Don't get irritated when people don't agree.

    Well at least we can agree the 2.0 Carpenter quests are better *laughs* *side glowers at those damned kids*

    I was in love with the 1.0 Goldsmith story... I was so very joyful when we got to see a small continuation with the F'lhaminn quest (Getting her earring fixed) but its not quite the same.

    I hope future mail moogle quests see us revisit characters like the Twins.
