RPG SITE REALM REBORN INTERVIEW

[Tonkra]

Where is everyone getting this idea that getting EXP through quests must be a solo thing?

it often (in most MMorpgs these days) turns out to be a quick soloable thing..

in WoW, Warhammer and co. you can also share your quests with others but many dont do so. because for what do you need a party, when you can do it also solo and you dont have to "waste" your time with forming a group.


well lets see what kind of quests FFXIV offers..

[Grimwald]

Good and Bad news in that, no open world encounters kinda sucks, but the reliance on speedruns for better gears is a great idea. I never get to see the majority of the things I run because I'm too busy making a 17m timer. Albeit, CC and AV are not that visually impressive.

They Never said there won't be any Open World Encounters. They said that Public Monster killing ( Open World Killing) Won't be the ONLY Best Prime way of getting exp. That means they are just giving you another option to level up.

[Seif]

Hmm. It's kinda hard to say based on this what the game will be like. I hope different.

posted a new SS in the front of the thread.

Yoshida: Speed runs will remain in the game (for achievement purposes), however, they will no longer be necessary to obtain equipment upgrades. Expect the reward system for these runs to change greatly.

Success...

[Vydos]

I'm still not fully satisfied with the speed run thing to be honest. Don't get me wrong, it's a good thing. No doubt about it but there's no mention on removing the 15 or 30 minutes instanced timers. Which means they'll still be there and will always put some kind of time pressure on people.

Unless they're going with a timer that counts upwards for the end result. Will have to wait and see for the final verdict.

Edit:

Yay for new ingame screenshot! Only wish they'd show more of the missing genders.

[bobbygunz]

Why even use the word "roaming" primals lol? Everything they do is so GENERIC!

[Gentaro]

That leveling change might kill the game D;

Well on the other hand 1.0 had basically no leveling at all cause you could get PLd to 50 in 1 day. . .


Still, I'd prefer grinding instead of mindless solo-questing - i would play singleplayer games if i wanted to run around by myself

Who says this isn't a female?

[Chardrizard]

He didn't say solo-questing, he said quest-driven. Quest can be party based.
