The Problem with ARR Progression

[HyperiusUltima]

This post is just nit picking. There is nothing wrong with them adding those trials as requirements. They don't take long to queue for and are very easy. If you do manage to wipe big deal. Sometimes new players need to see a fight before they get it down. I bet you did your first time too.

You can say it's nit-picking about the trial lock, but it's at a realllly bad time in the ARR MSQ. Just finished with Dreams of Ice and you're locked away from doing the next MSQ tii' you do them.

You are welcome to your opinion. It takes a few mins to do each trial. I don't see any problem here. You can also get these done before you reach that "lock".

So this issue, to you, is as much about timing as anything. Ok, ill buy that. Make ifrit required during the 2.1 patch quests(near the king mog fight perhaps), add garuda requirement to the 2.2 quests(so near leviathan), and titan slots in for 2.3(ramuh vicinity). The story really starts to pick up after ramuh anyway, so these already being out of the way wouldnt hurt anything. They could still put the unlock quest there as soon as you finish 2.0, and finishing them early wouldnt have to hinder your progress. You add a dialogue box to one of the quests(before you handle ____, could you take care of the ifrit/garuda/titan issue), and if the trial is already done switch the dialogue to (thanks for handling the ifrit/garuda/titan thing, im sure youll have no problem with ____).
