Quest Chaining!? <NO THANKS>

What? Guild leves caters to people who like quest grinding.... they are they same thing.

They also require you to run back and fourth from city to camp, which is pretty tiring, even with anima.

I hate the shitty quest hub style of gameplay, but I'm not gonna say no to it because I dislike it.

Rokien, I think your over reacting a little. I'm fairly certain that Yoshida is actually intending for Quests to only be supplemental. When he says he wants leveling up to happen during content he actually means things like Raids and Escorts and Main Storyline and Side quests. From all the things he said will involve quests, my guess is that Quest content will most likely end up leveling you as you attempt to obtain Items Skills and Content Access.

I honestly don't think this is going to turn in to Quest based leveling since he has already stated Levequest will remain in the game.

No, he said he wanted quest hubs, I can find it for ya.

Sadly, the people they do want to grab are the people who generally don't give two rat's asses about a storyline lol, but ah well, whatever makes SE money in the end they'll be happy.

That's their choice. I fucking hated FFX-2's storyline, but I enjoyed the gameplay and the minigames and whatnot. FF hasn't always been entirely about it's storyline.

And of course SE will be happy with making money, why do you think FFXI is getting another expansion?

Well excuse me for not knowing the proper term. I've only played XI and WoW, for the most part. You're still overreacting about everything. The 2.0 image shows one of those quests, and it's really not all that tied to the story, at least upon initial speculation.

Oh yeah, and for the record, There has never in the history of the series been a Final Fantasy in which you leveled by completing the Storyline. You can always beat the game by just playing the Storyline, but you cannot hit max level by simply playing the story line.

So two quotes several months apart justifies you jumping to conclusions and throwing a hissy fit?

"Content" doesn't mean "only quest hubs." It could, but it's likely more likely what Kiote said, a mix of a little bit of everything.

Nothing wrong with variety, right?

Still, I'd rather Rokien Scream No! than sit here and actually end up with Quest based leveling. This game would be awful with quest based leveling.
