MMO on rails confirmed!

I honestly can't imagine that grinding on mobs won't be plausible anymore because as long as we're not forgetting this.. FFXI/XIV have always been about leveling on the one character only.

Quests worked for other games because they were static and repeated for each new character/job.

I personally hope all the quests are almost all a one off event for the sake of getting your first or second level 50.

From then on it would make sense story wise that your skills grew into the classes by practicing them in your own time, rather then running back to farmer joe and killing those pesky nutbiters.

Sorry I dont trust Yoshi and I am agreeing with rokien and responding to some1 else. If you dont like thats fine, but Again it comes down to the fact that I do not trust Yoshi, and I also disagree with the direction Yoshi is taking FFXIV. Now maybe he didnt quote Yoshi correctly thats fine but its all speculation. Now what I currently see Yoshi doing in the current 1.0 version leads me to believe nothing will change come 2.0, and actions speak louder than words, at this point in time Yoshi hasnt earned my trust or respect period. Until I see differently come 2.0 my opinion will not change. Everyone is entitled to their opinion like it or not.

I'm just saying its beyond stupid to trust Rokien over Yoshi.

And clearly you never heard about the disaster this game was in upon release, because it has improved tremendously since then. If that doesn't earn trust or respect idk what does. Yet someone as challenged and clueless as Rokien somehow earns your trust and respect? Please do explain this to me; actually, I take that back. You should probably keep it to yourself.

I hoping its not Quest base XP > Parties.. or Exploring area's "!" go here. i want to be like where is that pesky npc at again o.o maybe we will get to turn off the helper and be able to play normal but still i worry about XP base

[Fear]

I have a thought, has anyone actually wondered if the only reason grinding mobs "won't work" is because in the 2.0 gameplay vid the EXP from 50>51 is 550,000 instead of our 110,000 now.

With that if they increased EXP needed for all levels maybe monster EXP will remain the same as it is now but quest EXP is huge to compensate the increased EXP needs.

That would make mob grinding "not work" because it would take insane amounts of time

Rokien I'm your #1 hater around here but honestly, from a friend to a friend, your thread quality has really taken a dip lately.

Please come up with better troll OPs because I feel you've really been lacking in punch lately.

Like I said in the thread about Gae Bolg's "reduced" stats, there is no point in speculating about mere numbers like that because, for all we know, it could take 5 times more exp to get to 50, but mobs also give 5 times more exp.

There's no way of knowing any of this until we see some detailed, high-level gameplay or we try it ourselves.

What is it with Hyur's with that weird hair-do? Is it like a distinctive thing you guys do to make sure you recognize other members of the Rokien crying and moaning club?

Hello again, it's me Rokien! So with Reinheart's translation, my initial worry was correct!

"Yes, when you first reach a area by following the “!” (Exclamation mark) it leads to another ! We are currently making those links."

Beats finding where all of the NPCs are. Unlike FFXI.

Too bad we dont have open PVP...Im not sure this guy has the balls to enter the arena

lol...well, that would be no fun would it...no balls i mean.
im sure he & many others would like a piece of me & my attitude "problem"...lol

Still, it should be fun.

The important thing is that the quests mean something. I would much rather have longer quests for more exp than shorter point by point ones. The biggest, and number one gripe I have with WoW and all their clones is that there are really too many quests in the chain itself for me to even care about the world I have just been dropped in. Reading it all through is a severe test of patience I don't think anyone should be subjected to.

[Deathmask]

don't follow the !. Problem solved

Massive owned. I think OP should just hide in a cave from now on.

[Risae]

Without these type of quest it wouldn't be a true WoW clone. We NEED those quests.
