"New game plus - quests will have no rewards..."

[Melichoir]

I never expected NG+ to give exp, gil, or other things. In fact, thats not somethign Ive really seen ever mentioned in any discussion regarding it til now. So I dont understand how this is gonna be some huge disappointment to the majority. The majority, I bet, sees NG+ as a "oh thats a cool feature, I can play that one quest line I like again!" And thats it.

Frankly, its probably better that NG+ wont give exp. Doing so would likely end up in two things - People replaying certain chapters to max out exp, and people shifting away from other leveling avenues to use MSQ (and solo play). That latter half would likely mean increased queue times. Afterall, why queue up for a dungeon when you can just skip that part and get back into MSQ? And if youre leveling via MSQ, youre not gonna be queuing up for roulettes as frequently, or other party content. Probably wont be good for the health of the game overall. Especially if you can just repeat the MSQ and max level every class in a matter of a few days/weeks by smashing the next key and killing a mob here and there.

Im personally not disappointed if NG+ doesnt give us anything. I want it for the story and fun. Not so I can get exp out of it.

I've been looking forward to this feature for awhile. I have made alts to replay the MSQ but being able to replay specific sections on my main is better.
I especially am looking forward to being able to replay ShB without having to worry about hitting level gates.

Edit: I honestly never expected to receive rewards from New Game+. I won't say no one did (I don't read every post on this forum after all) but the discussions I do recall on this subject involved people wanting to replay cool solo instances like the Grand Melee and the Naadam for fun on their main characters instead of new ones.

MSQ quests alone barely give any XP anyway, it's the sidequests/dungeons that do a lot.

Not sure what youre talking about. MSQ itself is the primary leveling method, providing averagely more exp at level than about what else you could do. It is only a more recent convention that you should do daily roulettes along with MSQ to stay ahead of the cap. And that is generally how it operated for ShB. If you did leveling, Trials, and Normal raid in the DF, you wouldnt level cap in MSQ. If you were a masochist, you could also do MSQ Roulette...But in anycase, yeah, for leveling your first class it was always MSQ above all other things.

Thiiis is not true. There is a point, usually multiple, in every MSQ where you hit a level wall before the next quest and the only way to scale it was either FATE grinding or a hearty amount of extra dungeoneering. It's easy to forget now that general exp from 1-60 is faster, but it happened when they were relevant (and still does in Shadowbringers quests--the stretch from 78-79-80 needs some dungeons).

ARR especially had it bad around the level 40s.

[Verlyn]

To be fair, exp for NG+ wouldn't be even this much in demand if the sync quests weren't limited to 70-80. As it is, a questing option for leveling a job would be pretty nice and harm nobody. They're probably going to do the ARR zones at least when they remake the story for it.

Well, this certainly isn't for everyone, but so is a lot of stuff in this game.
I don't savage, because I don't want to. No one is forcing people to do NG+.

But, it would be nice if you could get at least some EXP from it.
I can agree with people there but oh well I guess, it was aimed
for people to relive the stories mainly anyways so.

A sidequest gives literally half the xp of a comparable level msq...

[grinkdaboy]

i dunno i think they could find a way to squeeze in some rewards like titles or dyeable versions of quest reward gear (like the doman imperial set for example)

It wouldn't have hurt to put a mount at the end of it. Like finish every single quest get this mount. *shrug* It's an option I think should have been added. Wouldn't have hurt anything.
