Unlocking Content

[nuyu11]

I must have missed some news regarding HW, but where are people getting the idea that the level synch removal applies to ARR raids?

I think this one for the lvl sync.

Greetings,

Just for clarification, using this system will not remove the item drops, therefore you can use this feature to obtain minions, equipment for glamour, and the items needed to upgrade Zodiac weapons.

Additionally, there is no item level sync, so you'll be able to enter content at the highest level and item level.

On the other hand, if you are looking for more of a challenge, then you can use another feature which will sync to the lowest level set for that duty.

The development team is looking forward to seeing how everyone will use these new feature to create your own unique challenges and group events. They plan on using what they see as reference for future development.

And this one is for coil with 7 player and dungeon with 2 player, search for "0:47:28" got some explanation there

Honestly I don't like the story at all and I don't agree that you should need to do quests to unlock EVERYTHING in this game.
Like I can't do Odin on my alt because I can't unlock the quest. I've been backtracking to find the quest I'm missing but I just can't find it. The info i found on the internet tells me some prerequisite quests and I've done all of them or can't find them.

This is the problem with the quest gating, it's such a hassle just to unlock the one fight, which is a quest on its own. I don't understand why I need to complete a couple of level 48 quests to unlock it.

However, although I don't like the mainquest I can see why it gates some content.
I kind of wish there was a way to unlock things for all of your characters.
So say if I'm done with main quest on my main character, my 2 alts should have them unlocked too.

Because how do you, lore-wise, explain that all of my characters were the chosen one and they are all having the exact same conversation with everyone, they are all doing the same fights.
My main character killed ifrit, garuda and titan, why are they alive cause I made new characters? They all live in the same world

The same reason why you start in FF VII always in the train station if you choose "new game", with Aerith alive, regardless where you are in the story on your oldest save file.

starting the game on a fresh new character = starting the game fresh at the beginning

Well the topic is amusing. I enjoy this game due to the story and due to the friends I play with. I raid for the story - excited that we are entering T12 soon(yeah real life and stuff making it hard to consistently raid as a group and we like to go blind in and learn the fights on our own without guides) - the shinnies are something I might or might not obtain.

But yeah people have different motivations for what drives them forward. We loved the Edda storyline - we have one guy who basically skips everything but Hildibrand story - he acted all panicky during tam tara hm the first time reading the folios since he was the only human male in the group so would have made an ideal candidate for that body

But even he will ask about the story or lore behind things that interest him. So there is a bit of everything for everyone. Just show consideration towards all in how they wish to enjoy the game.

As for the OP specifically I doubt coil will lose it's progression so t5 and t9 would still be required - just because there is story there. I could imagine them ungatting the EXs from each other just because there is no story there(there's a tidbit on the first 3 but I kinda have a feeling it went down a dead end).

I love the story in this game.

Hi im one of those people that dont play for the story line, i personally think its well rather unintresting. That being said i dont play for the loot either, since i dont raid at all. Alot of people in this thread are calling us out because we dont care about there story and you know what we get it, Final fantasy is a story driven MMO. Some people at least in my group of friends play simply because they enjoy the gameplay, much like a previous poster said he plays for crafting, i just play to enjoy killing things on my warrior or whatever job i feel like playing that day. I like the combat its not fast paced like WoW or Tera and doesnt feel to clunky like old republic. Id wager most of us who dont like the story are like myself and the poster Genjoe, its simply other things we enjoy in the game that keep us playing. It would be nice if the circle jerk thats going on realised just because you dont like the story doesnt mean you dislike the game.

As for the Raider and story comments ill remind you of the Interview by i want to say SE with BG about there turn 5 win, when asked what they thought of the final cutscene there response was "dont know we skipped it". They probably didnt but seeing some of the comments in here makes you think lol.

Oh no, we did. We still don't know what any of this game is about or who these characters are.

What we all basically really want to say without really saying it is: everyone has to do the quests to get to the content. If they "unlocked" the entire game and let you go off and do whatever you want right off the bat, that's what everyone is going to do. Basically you're taking a huge shit all over four years' worth of hard work rebuilding a broken game from the ground up and saying you don't want to play the content they provide in the manner they're providing it to you. You're asking them to give you the option to ignore a huge chunk of the work they put into this game. You can hide behind your subscriptions and say you're entitled to whatever you want since you're paying them to play this game all you like, they're not going to give you the option to skip things that other players were required to do. And most did so without complaining, because that's normally how you play video games in the first place.

YoshiP mentioned that for the first expansion they have decided to go with requiring story. We don't know anything about the next one at all. It could branch off of something completely different or just a new story arc. Or yes they could just redoce the story to the most important points thus making it be a few fights and some quests.

[Neri]

The next expansion could be like, you know, A realm rebirth or something. After blah blah blah before all the dragons are extinct, they lay a havoc upon the world blah blah blah, the world went into chaos.

Hence we start anew in 4.0 just like when 2.0 started from 1.0. All the previous story line will be lost along with the Illuminati Cheese.
