[Spoilers] 7.3 Quest Puzzles (Feedback)

[jadeharley]

Just wanted to say I *love* the direction CS3 has taken with these new quests. Admittedly the puzzles are sort of linear/easy but I strongly encourage them to give us more in the future! It makes the MSQ much more engaging and I really felt like I was uncovering secrets running around unlocking things (even if the puzzles were really really easy).

I admit I sort of got my hopes up for the circuit puzzle that we'd see something using tethers, like the paradox puzzles in FFXIII-2, but that's just me recognizing that 13-2 and Dawntrail share many themes and pattern-matching a bit.

What types of puzzle mechanics would you like to see in FF14?

I got VERY excited when I realized that we had a genuine puzzle section, but I think they were a little too easy, even just to introduce us to them.

I also encourage them to continue with them. Go ham, even. This is the stuff we want!

They were easy, but then again not an hour after the patch came out you had thread on reddit (and here too I think) of people asking for the locker code solution, which was written in-game in bold red letters. So I think it's fair of them to go at it on the easier side to see where the player base is at.

I really enjoyed this section of the MSQ. I hope the devs continue to experiment with gameplay elements like this when it fits into the story.

I just finished this part myself, it definitely is a step in the right direction. Please give us more little gameplay bits like these and expand on them, they are actually interesting and fun.

agreed! if the story and engaging gameplay continues to be this good or improve, I am feeling very confident about the future of the game

If it fits the narrative like it certainly did in the current MSQ then yeah, all for it!

Agreed, I definitely wouldn’t want them to try and force stuff in like this just for its own sake. But I was delighted with the puzzles and searches for clues. I’d love to see more of these, and maybe next time be a little more challenging, and never see a “follow this person without being seen” again. lol

I dont mind following a person in stealth really tbh, but everyone has their own opinions so i respect that. As mentioned "If it fits the narrative and doesnt look forced" :3
