Let me get this straight.

Your argument is that we're expected to do the equivalent of looking up a GameFAQs guide? And you're telling me to think back to the days of the first games when to get anything like that you had to buy it from a store for 20 bucks?(I can't recall, but was Prima selling game guides back then?)

And you're telling me that my argument is invalid?

And for the record everyone I know who has played that game has complained about how the original FF was like that, and how 80% of that game was wandering around the world map trying to figure out where you are supposed to be next. Everyone.

Dude, 8/10. You're good at pretending to be serious, but I suspected you were a troll from the beginning. I gave you the benefit of the doubt because I've been accused of it when not being one far too much, but this just takes the cake.

To everyone else: thanks for your input, and yes, asking questions is a good thing, and I do a lot of it in game when I've got the chance. But even I would be annoyed to have every level 1 noob running up to me and asking how to get to Camp Bentbranch or Blackbrush and seeing /sh crowded with "Where go 2 by nu armr" would be a nightmare. The NPCs need to handle these most basic of basics, not the other players.
