I'm also one of the people who are a bit disappointed that the quests won't offer exp, because I thought playing through the story might be a good way to level some of my jobs that I don't really want to play in dungeons and possibly get the Amaro mount without having to POTD/HOH them, but eh, it's not a big deal. Just a "would have been nice". I totally get the concerns about people using them as the primary source of exp and increasing queues, but I can't help but feel like it'd just turn out like people's concerns over the Trust system making it so no one queues for those dungeons any more. Still, SE has the statistics, not me, so I just have to assume they know better than I do.

Regardless, I will still use NG+ for sure because I love the story and want to replay it on my main (for the record, I have a bunch of alts at varying stages of MSQ and I still want the ability to replay it on my main even without the exp - it's a totally different experience).

I haven't seen it mentioned in this thread, but is anyone else hoping that replaying through ShB will include the ability to play Holmeister Switch with the Exarch and Lyna in your party? I mean, it might just have you use your current Trusts, but I'm hoping it'll be like it was when you played the MSQ the first time because I'd love to run that dungeon a few times with them. I also want to replay certain job quests, so I was glad to see them still being listed as something that might come in the future. All in all, super hyped for this feature. 5.1 can't come soon enough!
