Im the warrior of light, not some errand boy

[Enkidoh]

Funny I need to keep reporting back at some mundane things right to Minfilia instead of dropping the infos just through the Linkshell (which we seems to use quite often in cutscenes.
Same goes for Cid and the Twins - Pretty sure most of their stuff would be able to be completed by just reporting through them.

Ah, maybe I am spoiled by the quest system of the Secret World, where you complete them automatically once you met the right conditions and get a debrief through the smartphone.

Ironically Minfilia actually explained why she doesn't do that very thing and asks you to attend face-to-face meetings rather than just discuss everything via linkpearl in 1.0:

Minfilia: "Ah, <insert player name here>. You must forgive me for having you come all the way to the Waking Sands, but given the gravity of the matter, I believed it prudent to speak to you in person rather than over the aether."

Besides, look at real life - just because we have advanced communications technology, face-to-face meetings are still very commonplace - electronic communication like telephone, email and video confrencing is very impersonal, and having a face-to-face meeting with someone allows you to truly develop a rapport with them.

And given the fact even in ARR linkpearls are not actually a secure form of communication (Nero after all was clearly shown hacking into the player's linkshell feed to speak to Cid in the Praetorium, and that linkshell signals, being a form of radio, can be easily blocked or interfered with), it's little wonder Minfilia prefers more traditional means of meeting. But I digress.
