Side Quests and Replaying

[Iscah]

Firstly, there are two separate skips. Level skip will put your character at Lv70 for a selected job and auto-complete its job quests, story skip will send you to the start of your selected expansion MSQ.

The story boost skips some sidequests but not all. All endgame dungeons for the expansion(s) you skip are unlocked, so the quests that would unlock them are completed, but (having used an ARR skip a while back) as far as I remember, everything else is left undone. This includes feature unlock quests and major side stories like Hildibrand and the Crystal Tower raids.

I'm not sure if you can lock threads here.

I've also noticed not all quests are in the book. Specifically quests that don't have fully proper cutscenes. Too bad I guess.

This game will always take several hundred hours to play per character, thousands even. A simple replay button would be nice.
