Thread: Reintroduce Maat in 2.0

since this has been brought up. I personally don't think we should have the limit break quests with level increases in the game. I think Limit Break should be the Merit system for this game. If a level break quest is put in, I think it should be tied into Grand Company ranks.

Limit break quests should be introduced into XIV (starting at 50, though). Maat or no Maat.

People who want quest-based leveling should be the most supportive of this idea to begin with.

That's your opinion.

Limit breaks can be implemented just as logical as any other type of quest, and even if they're not, they're still just as legitimate.

It's only legitimate if you can mostly solo the LB. In FFXI, there was NONE of the that.
Solo parchment/bombs/etc? LOLNO
Solo Boreals? LOLNO

Can't remember what else you needed, but it's pretty damn pointless (other than for the sake of halting progression) to add in quests that expand your level cap if you need a party of high-levels to help you get through them all, like you did in XI.

Quests to expand your level cap that are nothing but roadblocks in the way of someone having fun are a pointless addition to the game.

Personally I think that the last quest in each jobs storyline should have been a solo fight akin to Maat.

Maybe not as difficult, but fight to test your current skill as you job, if you win, you receive a powerful piece of armor, and your "Limit Break" (aka 15 min cooldown ability).

The stories are already circled around you, the player, anyway. I could never understand why you had to bring seven other people along. It also could serve as a better way to introduce a player to endgame, in my opinion the AF fights are your first example of a harder fight.

Just thought I'd throw that out there

I honestly think the way they did for jobs is better than a simple limit break quest.

You can level normally without restrictions, and you will learn all classes abilities. However, to earn the more unique and stronger job abilities, you need a quest every five levels.

It's simple, it tells interestring storylines, it involves traveling, exploration, dungeons runs and a somewhat hard battle at the end.

Yeah, it's not a lolcasualroadblock, but do we really need to arbitrarily set up blocks to "stop people from being bad"? Sorry, but beating one battle after reading how to do it on some wiki <> learning how to play your job.

The current job quests concept already beats complete level locking via time / gil / lucksink quest, in my opnion. That said, they could improve upon it after they increase level cap - and who knows, they might as well include a 1 on 1 battle against Taam or whatever as one of the job quests.
