An escort quest...ahem. So many games do that right that I can't see how SE could go wrong with the design of this one.
/sarcasm

Anyway I'm happy they're at least thinking of different kind of content than just kill checklists. As always all we can do is wait to see how this works.

I've yet to see a game "do it right" MMO wise.

Cool. Some content.

Guess Bombard Event was a rehearsal for this.

Nope, they've tested this system pretty well in FFXI lol.

as much as im all for new content, im not sure why so many people are loving stop and kill, then move, then stop and kill...rinse repeat...then repeat later quest. I can garuntee you people will get sick of it pretty fast.

Yet people seem to love "Talk to NPC, kill 5-10 mobs, come back to NPC, gain 80% of your level in XP as a reward, repeat." systems in MMOs.

Are you trying to incite violence or something? To the right ears, them be fighting words, miss. Or to the wrong ears, should I say.

If this was tested so extensively in FFXI, then why I wonder must we be put through our paces waiting on it for nigh on twelvemonth? There's treachery afoot here, I can guarantee you that much.

[S]Although, technically ... it doesn't actually SAY that foreign company recruits can't help. It just says they need to have sworn allegiance to A company and that they need to accept duty from their relevant camp... so maybe they can help after all, provided they can accept the duty at the camp (but they might not be able to).

I'm pretty sure that we can sign up for quests for other Companies, we just need to have a sworn allegiance to 1 Company.
Kinda like in FFXI, your allegiance was to 1 city but you could do the quests from any city (just not the City Missions).

I imagine each Grand Company will have Company-specific Mission-quests but the "side-quests" will likely be available to anyone. Even with Toto-Rok, I can sign up in Gridania but do the dungeon with Uldah and Limsa peeps who signed up from their Company/city.

I am also guessing that quests like this will assuage fears about selecting 1 Company for allegiance...if we can do other Companies quests and still earn Seals for that company despite our allegiance to another. I hope it works that way anyway.

Anybody else worried this will get boring after 2-4 times doing it. Same path everytime seems boring. I'm sure it will scale w/ people similar to behest so hopefully it will be a challenge.

Everything gets boring after you do it x number of times.

There'd better be a /pet emote and I want my character to actually PET and FEED the chocobo and not stand there all static with words on my screen saying "/t did this"

...but the Choco pecks you in the eye if you give it food it doesn't like.

Yay content! I'm more excited for the hamlet battles in 1.20 though

WARK?!!!!! (buys goggles)

On a serious note, this will be a great way to rack up some much needed seals. Darn you Ul'dah Jacket ><

Wow something I can just look forward to other then my own little ponyChocobo mount, an have no worries or issues about..

@ jenna: do they really love that crap? or are they just doing it because its the best way to level? Ive played a few of those games and i cant tell you how many people just click by the actual story text.
