Stop Hand-Holding me!

Exactly the quests in FFXI were very vague about what you had to do, if it wasn't for wiki I would never have been able to do half of them thats for sure. Sometime I would read the quest up on wiki and think, how the hell did someone figure this out from the info you are given in the game.

So true! You could talk to someone who would complain that they didn't like their hair, if only they could find their favorite hairbrush. So, you'd think your quest objective is to look around for a hairbrush... turns out you really need to go halfway across the world to find an old friend who used to cut their hair.

Silly example, but not that far off the mark.

I read all my quests, quite thoroughly, and that still wasn't enough to figure them out. You couldn't do most of them without looking them up online.

OP: Please, for the love of the Twelve, stop trying to ruin it for the rest of us who don't want to spend hours and going to third party sources to figure out how to play this game.
