Nice interview! Looking good except..this can go two ways lol

RPG Site: As far as gameplay goes, how will grinding vs. quests work for leveling? Will players find more reward from taking on more quests as opposed to just outright level grinding?
Yoshida: We will be moving away from a grind-oriented leveling system to a quest/content-driven leveling system. No longer will randomly defeating public monsters be the most efficient way to level your character.
SE you are not nintendo...haha nintendo can take something that sounds weird/kinda bad but then when they actually release it Miyamoto makes it extremely fun! I guess I am just hoping the game does not turn into wow or aion as far as leveling goes. It might not...there is still hope I hope they are innovative with this idea...
