RPG SITE REALM REBORN INTERVIEW

[Kiara]

I'm a Music person like yourself. While I love the Music in XIV ( and some of their songs will make it into a Realm Reborn). But I also love hearing New songs/themes, every time I see "sample BGM" I Squeeeee like a little girl. I'm sure you will come to love FFXIV: ARR Soundtrack to be Equal or even better than the Original. You never know bro ^.^

Hi Starlord,

Me, too. I definitely look forward to new Final Fantasy Music Tracks for 2.0.

But at the same time, I hope that the next Final Fantasy XIV Music CD Collection includes all the 1.0 Music and 2.0 Launch Music.

It'd be sad if the 1.0 Music they cut is lost forever, except via Youtube or something.

Killing a bear for a pelt is pretty epic I agree. Anyone who thinks there's going to be some long epic quests to level up with are kidding themselves.

Quests also allow for more interaction with NPCs? Heading into town to grab quests, restock on supplies, etc. Exploring the zone you're currently in, adventure. You get to see far more than you do with camping. And guess what? You can do quests with friends! Camping is sitting by the same rock and watching the same enemy die over and over.

Which sounds more appealing to the typical Final Fantasy player? However, I do agree that I hope there is more variety than kill X for Y. Have us tackle NMs via marks given in towns or something to break the monotony.

Other MMOs have been doing zone-long cohesive storylines for several years now. Are you saying that Square-Enix is incapable of doing the same?

If you're worried about XIV's quests being boring, that's not a problem inherent to the format, that's a problem with the people who are designing the content.

FFXIV can't do it in quite the same fashion, though. Other games have you quest through an area as part of your leveling process, and have you finish the quests around the same time that you outlevel the area. FFXIV has you leveling multiple jobs, which means that you're going to be revisiting each area multiple times. Implementing quest-based progression instead of grind-based progression means setting up a system that allows you to have quests available when you revisit an area later on with a different class.

And this is why there will be mobs in the Open World to kill in a Group ya know? =)

Still no answer regarding obtainable primal weapons, unless the response was that the answer was an implied yes.

This along with having quests that are...*gasp* repeatable.

Ive been collecting bear asses for years now so I'm pretty sick of it. If they have a decent xp rate just grinding dungeons and what not I'll be happy.
