    More Main Scenario? [Yes, please.]

    I absolutely understand that there are fundamental things that are being worked on and revisions being made but I for one am most drawn to FF for the story (as most players are). I think that it would be awesome to include some more missions (main scenario) in maybe 1.19. I'm not suggesting a ton of stuff, just something to remind us that there is a story going on.

    I'd only really want it though if:
    1. Quantity: There are 5 or so missions that are about the same length of the existing ones (maybe 20-30 min with teleporting)
    2. Quality: this is my preferred method, Id love to have maybe 1-3 new missions that are like 2 hours long each with teleporting and have some difficulty to em.

    Of course when new story is added it should elaborate on a single storyline, the existing missions are connected but some of them are arduous tasks, which are acceptable because really your character is just starting and just gaining respect with the organizations and other characters but it'd be nice for the main epic parts of the storyline to start with the current R46 mission, it seems like a really awesome jumping off point to the story.

    I'd love to see something soon, i think its time we see some more story. I dont expect to see a quantity that i would expect a year from now when all of the corrections and fundamental work is done, but itd be nice to have something but only if its up to par with what we expect from a FF game.

    Just my opinion, love to see what ppl think or if anything is being planned soon.

    I completely agree! I would like to see the rank requirements for the current missions lowered so that they are more common throughout leveling. Then more missions could be added! I would like to see the missions actually somewhat hard to complete and with worthwhile rewards

    I'm personally hoping they sort out the flow of the storylines first and foremost. I think the current missions should be condensed down to lead up to rank 30, and new, tougher missions should continue in very regular intervals after that.

    That way we'd have a story that feels full and not so thinly spread across levels, and the content up to rank 30 would be a sort of introduction with the real action and adventure taking place after that, as party-based missions take the place of the previously soloable content.

    Add to that the grand companies for each nation picking up where the rank 1-15 missions for each city finished and we've got a pretty awesome amount of story content that might make it feel like a final fantasy game.

    Great ideas, especially with the company quests finishing the individual city's story lines!

    More quests to help supplement the leveling would be extremely nice.

    Yeah, I feel a bit confused when it comes to the storyline of ffxiv. I like to jump into a game, and be able to catch to what is going on.. the main scenarios are spreaded way to thin and in the end I loose interest.

    1.18 apparently is starting to bring them closer together
