MMO on rails confirmed!

Right now there are options, You can do leves, dungeons, mob exp grind. Leves are for solo people! AWESOME! mob exp grind! AWESOME, dungeons for who wants to do em! AWESOME! Heck they even added exp to quests as well! AWESOME.

So you like leves, which have an arrow which completely directs you to the objectives you need to complete, where you often "kill x mobs" and then return to camp, but you vehemetly detest the idea of having an NPC ask you to do this same thing? I really don't understand the issue.

1.0 -> Leves, dungeons, mob exp
2.0 -> Leves, quests (aka leves with cut scenes), dungeons, mob exp

Not seeing the problem. Honestly while I don't absolutely "love" questing, I do wish that quests in this game gave any semblance of decent experience. I swear I spent like an hour and a half on this one botanist quest and got like 3k exp for it. And while the story was ok, I was hoping to get a large amount of experience out of that sort of time investment. Haven't really gone through to do any other class quests since that one.

Personally I can't say I'm glad with how the quest leveling sounds myself.

I guess I'll be "That guy" who is gimp because he levels outside the quest system exploring whatever open world they give to us in 2.0 while everyone else has fun standing in lineups to jump servers for dungeon finder.

Sorry jyxn, open world is also getting the boot "We made it so you don’t have to go out to title screen to do this and can make adjustments on that spot. Also lots of contents are instanced in FFXIV 2.0"

If you need a partner, I'll be happy to join ya though

Way to misquote. Yoshi was talking about adjusting the graphics settings.

I like camping mobs. I like having my camp stolen. I like having to get a party to go grind and there already be a party there at the camp I just spent time and effort to get a party for... and then we fight over the camp... and then we hate each other.

It's awesome.

Despite what Rokien's intentions may be, threads like this make people think and come up with alternative solutions that could end up being popularized/used later, so I don't think it's all bad.

That being said, no one definitely knows how 2.0 will end up; not even Yoshi. Speculation is nice and fun, but let's not treat it as an absolute.

I wonder if you could possibly be any more hyperbolic?

I think there needs to be a balance, an option to either way.

that's the very least is what I'm asking for

If you spent half as much time grinding in the open world in v1 as you do grinding your post count you'd have everything to 50 and not need to worry about what leveling will be like five months from now.

Yoshida has said that the best way to level is to do a little bit of everything. Doing only quests will be as inefficient as doing only open world grinding. You're just blowing things out of proportion as usual.

Nah, I don't want all classes 50, I only leveled the ones I like, why would I level something I don't like?
