Storyline Reset

[MiiyoAoi]

I would love to be able to redo the main scenario storylines on my current char. I'd have it so my progress remains in tact due to unlocking titles, and I can simply be able to have the main story quests unlock again. Yes there's the option of doing a completely new toon, but I, and many I'm sure, don't really want to go through the process of re-leveling multiple jobs.

I'd thought about this in the past, too. Granted, I had no idea how to even suggest going about it. The best I ever came up with was allowing players to go into the journal and flag a quest as [REPLAY] in which case it would re-execute the quest flag and treat it as a temporarily repeatable quest. Seems like it might be a lot of work for SE, though, so I didn't get my hopes up XD

Still, it'd be nice. Only the major cutscenes are in the Unending Journey. "Small Talk" and "Fixed Camera" dialogue don't count.

And I sure missed a lot of quest mobs in my bestiary...

I would actually love this as a way of leveling alt classes vs constant FATE grinding. They could make the quests give slightly less exp to make FATEs still desirable but a change of pace would be lovely.

Mechanically speaking it would tricky as you would have to unphase phased areas and unflag/reflag things all over.

Lore-wise it would be easy since the WoL happens to be gifted with an ability that lets them observe and re-experience events without being able to change the outcome.

It would be good to see cutscenes like the one with Cid right after you meet the Emperor, he refernced a name I wanted to look up, but forgot it.

@OP: What would happen if you got a little bored with it and left off? Do you need to catch up before the next patch, or can you jump right back to your furthest progress?

It would be nice since it would significantly speed up leveling.

See, this is why I screencap every piece of story or quest dialogue in the game, so if I want to look up something I just go back looking through my screenshots. What name did you want to know incidentally?

Lol ps4 makes that harder. It was right after the shoot out with the Emperor. But before we get on Cids airship to go to Azys Lla for the first attempt. There is a fairly long cutscene with Luciana(sp).

Anyway, right before that, when we meet Cid where he's docked. He greets you or Luciana with a title reference, but its one of those ones thats like "I'm as happy as if I'd seen the Lady of ..." or something like that. I meant to look up.what the name was a referance to but something came up and it slipped my mind. It could mean nothing at all, and it be a non referance, or even some Garlean title.

Hmm, you mean immediately after you meet Emperor Varis for the first time at Ok'Zundu? Lets see...

EDIT: hmm, this is the text from the cutscene back at the Enterprise where it's docked after the first meeting with Varis: (spoilered for those just joining the game or who are yet to reach the expansion storyline)

Wedge: "We saw it fire on the village! Are you alright <insert player character name here>?"
Biggs: "Bugger me! Did you see the size of that Imperial battleship!?"
Cid: "Thank the Twelve you're alive, <insert player character name here>! When that battleship appeared and fired on the village, we feared the game was up for you and Alphinaud. What in the Seven Hells happened out there?"
(The player's character explains)
Cid: "First the Archbishop shows up with a bloody Ascian in tow, and now the godsdamned Emperor pays us a visit!? What is this? The procession of notable bastards? Who's next? The Keeper of the Seventh Bloody Gate!?"
Alphinaud: "Not one so 'notable' Master Garlond. I am happy to report that the Zundu were overjoyed to learn of Bismarck's demise."
Alphinaud: "Chief Sonu sends his warmest regards, <insert player character name here>. There was much talk of westerly winds."
Lucia: "Miraculously, none suffered lasting harm during the raid. It would seem the Zundu were taken entirely unawares, and wisely chose to offer no resistance."
Alphinaud: "I sense they have no more to fear from the Empire, for the present, at least. Had the Emperor truly been intent on their extermination, Ok'Zundu would have already been levelled. Plainly, Varis is only interested in reaching Azys Lla."
Cid: "Speaking of which, if you're all ready to continue the chase, the Enterprise is as well. Shall we?"

I presume the text you're referring to is Cid's humorous statement about 'the procession of notable bastards." but I could be wrong.

I think so. I'm not 100% on the timing, more like 95%. But it was in the Sea of Clouds as we borded an airship.

Yeah thats the one. I couldn't find too much info on it, aside from two year old hints at a possible dungeon. Wonder if it means anything or just added for depth. It was the "whos next..." part from Cid btw.
