MMO on rails confirmed!

Well, it's still a decent point though.
... if normal mobs aren't exp worthy, and exp is gained from quests...
Then we kinda got to follow the quest line {Hmm...}
I am a bit concerned ... i guess the idea is that these !'s will eventually lead to group dungeons,
then you use the content finder to participate in them... But it's the other stuff that will divide this from a ! mark chase i guess ... Chocobo raising, free companies, Crystal Tower, Gold Saucer are all the kind of things that are not strictly ! chase grind questing... although they may have ! marks...

It`s just that most MMOs fall into this ! trap to begin with.

yep that comes to my next point! INSTANCES!

All I can say is, yay! And when tired with following the "!" I'll wander off the tracks and explore the environments, do repeatables, help my friends and make new ones, craft. . . . Oh sorry, I think I've derailed.

All there is going to be doing is following ! Didn't you hear, everying is going to be released AFTER 2.0

What is this ! you people speak of? The ASCII form of the new grass?

Didn't you already make an "on rails" thread?

Yep, but people complained about me bumping a thread of mine instead of making a new one. So, ya, blame them! I'm just stating it's confirmed, ffxiv will be an mmo on rails.

Oh good, will give me enough time to find all the "!" before more content is released! ^_^ /highfive

tbh I would like to have NPC have ! over there heads.. I honestly don't wanna go around in circles trying to find a quest like in FFXI where there was none not to mention in FFXI they also didn't "exactly" tell you what to do.. you had to figure it out with a " Vague" line or 2.

Also it's a huge turnoff to having to look all over creation to find said quest(s). and newplayers will be driven away by it if they didn't have ! over NPCs head. And whos to say FFXIV: ARR won't have Hard Quests?

the point isn't having the ! over npcs head its the arrow that leads to the !. It just going to be super linear game if it has that mentality which, now it does.
