These quests suck.

[Urthdigger]

The regular sidequests aren't meant to be these epic quests that have you doing new things. That's what the class quests, main quests, and GC quests are for. The sidequests are just quick little things for some extra xp, loot, and lore. Simple and easy for the coders to make and for the players to do.

FFXI had those too. And they definitively were on a different level. So I don't believe this to be acceptable.

You're right, FFXI did have quests like this. Though, I dunno, I kinda feel that learning that building a bridge requires hurling a lalafell to the other side is a better reward than getting a simple thank you from a lady trying to cook in Bastok Markets.

What the... what quest is this?

Bridging the Gap. Or did you mean A Flash in the Pan and Gourmet? Because I hear those quests are pretty epic.

LOL indeed they were, fame quests were F'ing awful.

I've done every side quest in the game, yes they a little mindless with their run here - run there - kill this - kill that layout but, its just side content its not mean to be that in depth or the main content of the game.

Grand Companies quests are much better, Yoshida plans to add low level quests chains to the tutorial in 2.0, hopefully they will expand that into the rest of the game.

I'd agree with what GreyJorildyn says above that quests should provide a tether to follow (hopefully 2.0 will add this) leading the player to new area's and zones.

Also agree that having quests with a pool of rewards you can choose from would help make them more worth while especially if the items match that of the level of the quests.

We have to remember that final fantasy is a game that prides itself on quests/side quests. And even the main ones are dull as shit.

FFXIII's quests stone things were boring as shit as well, and very much go kill this ! kind of quests.
