How would you like to level up?

[Wolfie]

I enjoy solo questing, but this game doesn't really seem geared for that (given you can level multiple classes on a single character; there's no way anyone could put in enough content for that), so in the context of what's viable for FFXIV, I'd say a mixture of leves, dungeons (if they existed), and soloing more difficult mobs for good exp. Camping can be fun, but it gets old fast. I enjoy having a choice in what I want to do with my time.

A ghetto solution to the questing thing is making quests doable once per class as opposed to once per character. Or introduce a lot of class quests or class repeatable quests. But yes, this is going to be harder with FFXIV.

They COULD do something like one-man instanced dungeons like Aion does. Combine those with leves, some minor grinding, leftover lowbie quests, and group content, and it should be enough for everyone.

It would be awesome if all of those were viable methods of leveling to add some variety.

I would like to level in dungeons.

[Delmontyb]

I'd say B, A, E, and then F.

I'm all for party play being #1 way to level, but I do enjoy quests and story as long as it has cut scenes as a way to immerse ourselves into the world and to level.

Give me options with party play always being the best way to level.

All of the above and then some. More variety means less tedium.

[weeble]

party play all the way

[Raistlin]

All of the above and then some. More variety means less tedium.

then +1 to all?

party play all the way

that is B and D?

[Eekiki]

then +1 to all?

For what it's worth, yes.

Hopefully we'll get additional types of content, like raiding beastmen camps (something yoshida mentioned in one of the interviews in a way that suggested it's going to become a big deal) and possible campaign-style content to give us even MORE ways to level up, and not in the one-off style of quests.

Would be nice if they upgraded Behest to be a bit more exciting and engaging, like a good 30 minute adventure for each camp that's more than just killing a few mobs.

I'd personally like the FFT way where using a skill no matter what it does as long as it hits grants you a Job Point and once you have enough you can spend it to buy new skills.
