NG+

[Rannie]

Ng + will give exp not for the quests but if you fight mobs while in it. I tried that out with my drg. However that's the only exp I've gotten so far in it and that was just killing the mobs out in the world. Havent hit a dungeon yet.

I unlocked ng + yesterday before going to bed after I completed the msq. Started Shb again and I am enjoying it when I play around in it, so yes I'll be using it more just gotta finish the Nier raid now.

I won't be using it anytime soon, but not because I can't level with it... I already have all but three jobs leveled.

I have a lot of alt characters that I have at different points of the story, so right now it doesn't make sense to do the story again. I am excited to be able to though.

That's a shame that you dont even get xp. Is there any incentive at all to engage in it besides indulging in nostalgia?

[TaleraRistain]

I'm a bit bummed they don't offer exp to level alt classes. They could have possibly had a setting to flag quests completed per class so no one would try to farm for exp. MSQ is just a really good way to level and it would have helped break up the tedium of leveling alt classes to at least be able to run each class through MSQ once for exp.

Plenty of people will use it. It was a highly requested feature.

This is kinda like asking to get job exp from Triple Triad or Chocobo Racing, not everything has to be about leveling your jobs up.

I was really looking forward to leveling alt jobs with this. But...now we know we can't.

So my question is this;

Is anyone really going to use this?

I mean, sure it'd be nice to go back maybe a year or so from now to redo some of the final moments from ShB or HW. But, the real excitement for me personally was to be able to use this to level alts AND relive the story.

But, since it only has the function of...basically a glorified bedroom journal, who is the target for this?

I really feel it'd get more use from everyone if it simply offered EXP.

Am I alone in this?

No quest experience makes it useless to me. "reliving the story" can be done on an alt...and with experience points. When I first heard of it, I thought it was a good thing for levelling alt jobs too. but now it's just meh.

With NG+, you don’t have to slog through ARR just to relive HW. Or slog through ARR and HW for SB. Or all three for ShB. Not to mention you can’t redo the story any other way on your main character, so that’s what NG+ is made for.

And in time it should also include job quests from what I've gathered, which will be a boon to those people who used potions to catch up to their friends but don't have the time to invest in a completely new character.

For job quests it will also be nice to be able to go through them one after the other without several levels worth of other stuff between each one. Removing the need to start each quest trying to remind ourselves what had been going on in the previous ones should improve the flow of the stories.

I get what it's for. It just serves no purpose for me. i have no desire to rerun the story on my main unless it is a good way to get alt job experience. the story is the same whether i run it on an alt character or an alt job. but only one of those will give quest experience. ...i'm going to emphasize "for me". Which is why I can see the OP's point. You can find all the purpose in it you want.
