Why was the game built around guildleves?

[Rowyne]

But most of all, give up on whining about guildleves, coz Yoshida already stated he loves this concept.

I'm not suggesting it get scrapped, but I don't think it should be the backbone of the game. I'd like to see other things take more of a central focus. And not just for the repetitive aspect. But accepting assignments like some kind of mercenary requisitioned by people you'll never meet doesn't make for a very engaging story.

And we play FF because of the epic story, right?

I think the 'Side'quests need to be more robust, for this reason (which is another reason I'm not crazy about calling them sidequests, it only reinforces the idea that they're trivial).

I agree 100% right now there are a few things like that in class/main scenario quests that gives you that but they aren't enough and definitely they aren't challenging.

But there are still ppl who wants to get rid of the whole guildleve system as well
