It is live!

Wow... it's really stupid to remove quest rewards from the New game + system.

If you can't use it to level new jobs, what is even the point? What a waste...

I'd still like more clarification, as quest rewards could mean the items and gil obtained only and not the xp. Think about how you could keep re-doing new game+ to level your crafters by getting the gear for guild leves, something I doubt they want people to farm in that way.

It's like i'm the twilight zone where people never heard of youtube.

When i'm playing the game, i want to be achieving something. If i just want to just experience the story again i can lay down and watch it on youtube. I even have the option to skip parts. But alas... to each their own.

It's a video game, not a movie. Experiencing the story still involves playing it, including the combat content.

Personally, I would rather watch the MSQ cutscenes with my character in them.

That isn't my character though, which disconnects me from the story. Not to mention, I want to experience the story myself not watch someone else do it.

For you, this was only ever an ends to a means. Just another level alternative. That isn't why people asked for this feature. They wanted to replay the expansions. Simply put, New Game+ was never intended for you.

I guess the thing that irks me the most is they brought up the next trial and the next Ultimate, had entire slides dedicated to them... just to say they're secret. It's coy stuff like this that makes me, at the end of the day, okay with data mining. Ok, the trial I can understand, it can lead to spoilers, but the Ultimate? Why? The Ultimate is strictly old content, so...why so secretive about it?

Why even bring either up then? Why have not one, but two whole slides that say "secret" on them?

To build hype, and let us know it's coming.

I don't always agree with them being secretive, like when they teased a new Gold Saucer attraction and everyone was thinking blitzball only for it to be mahjong, but in this case I think it's better not to show off a fight that's usually kind of a spectacle.

We already knew it was coming. Instead of building hype, they just irritated me and a lot of other people. I would be far more hyped if I knew we were fighting Alexander or The Warring Triad because then I could spectacle on how those fights might go. When they first announced Coil, and later Ultima, that's what got people existed. How they were going to build those fights into something amazing. Being secretive is just annoying.

For me, it just dampened the whole LL. Granted, it didn't help they talked about almost nothing except Fellowships.

It's really frustrating that they don't do translations during many of these.

I tried Youtube's auto-translated captions.. Useless.

Yeah, they aren't very reliable. But they can have some pretty entertaining results sometimes.

I can see not including items and gil, since you should already have enough gil to easily equip any alt jobs you're leveling. If no rewards also means no XP, then the feature will be useless for me, and I'll continue as a one-job player.

Actually, we don't, as things could be delayed or plans change. If there was only one part, I'd understand, but on a 2-part live letter, it still makes sense to confirm it's coming in the first part and then reveal it in the second part when they can potentially talk more detail about it.
