I know i can ask them to do things like hunt for specific ingredients, but I would happily continue just using quick exploration if they added a "No thanks" or instant sell in that little reward menu. Perhaps this is the next step in eliminating inundating us with trash garbage.

I have 8 retainers, handy if you don't want to farm, annoying on quick ventures and results are:
Cordial (HQ)
Retainer Fantasia
Ice Pick(NQ)
Shire Philosopher's Ring
Rubber (NQ)
Hingan Watchtower
General Purpose Pastel Green Dye x2
Oriental Pipe

Well worth the hour and 16 ventures spent

I think it boils down to odds really. "Luck" as some may call it. More often than not, I get some NQ sky rat harness or something of lesser usefulness that will sit on the MB on my homeworld for maybe 7 to 10 days, before I take it off and just desynth or vendor it. Occasionally I may get a nice deco for house, or something to is just bizarro cool, like an unfinished shawl

. I do like house deco. Had my oldest retainer bring back a Hingan Roof (nanpu) the other day, and it was worth it for the laugh XD . Like A ROOF! She came back with a ROOF to give me. Feel sorry for whoever she stole that from. But overall, I think the system would be improved with a "No thanks" or Vendor it option right there in the reward screen.

Hooray for linear progression! FF13 would be proud of our pretty hallways...besides Aurum Vale and Longstep

You complain about it, but how many parties branch off in Sastasha?

None, because there's no point in it. The only time people do full clears is when someone asks for the achievement. The entire reasons dungeons got made more and more linear is because people didn't like it when they weren't hallways.

FF13, while I like it, has the issue in a completely different place. Since that's single-player and you only go to each area once, making them more open would reward players for their own unique playstyle. 14 is an MMO where you see the same dungeons over and over, so making them not linear just wastes everyone's time and effort.

Don't get me wrong, I like non-linear progression, but only if I'm not playing with 3 other guys who want to hustle.

I'm a dummy who forgets to refresh Storm's Eye often so it passively regaining duration from using Inner Release is a nice QoL change.

I'm also glad they got rid of most of the fluff items from the ARR dungeon chests, too.

Succor got an MP reduction nice. Also can I make a minor nitpick about the AST changes. So they finally added the MP effect the Draw that many people "suggested", but why is the cost 8%? Not saying it can't be it just seems like an odd percentage, since most others are 5% or 10%. Guess they are really trying to stop any MP issues, lol. Could I maybe suggest they add this description to Energy Drain so that the tool tip tells people it restores 5% of max MP; like Assize and now Draw do.

EYE TRACKING FOR THE GPOSE CAMERA. YES.

This has been high on my wishlist for ages.

And apparently we're getting control on mouth movements as well, which might combine for a better range of face expressions.

Now if only the eye tracking was actually working that well.. tried a lot of poses out and most of the time the tracking is messed up. I'm quite disappointed :/
The lip syncing is great though.

Yeah, I only tried it briefly but it didn't seem to work while using battle skills.

Where's the lip sync button? I couldn't see it on the emotes page.
