Alpha First Look: Video 5 - Quests and Combat

[Andrien]

Okay.. I'm back to see whats new, and now people are writing blog post, and slandering people game styles.

About the whole quest debate, the fact of the matter is Yoshi-P wants to draw in people that never played MMORPGs before. That is including the diehard Final Fantasy fans that is not used to playing MMORPGs. That is right folks, the fans of the Final Fantasy franchise. We on the forums are just 3% of the entire FFXIV community, and the numbers for the entire Final Fantasy fanbase is much more greater than us combined. This game is going on the PS3 console, so things have to be accessible, and not frustrating or else points is going to be taken off.

With that said, games these days can get bad reviews for boring repetitiveness. That can be avoided if the content is rewarding, and gives you a sense of progress for both casuals and hardcore. With that the fun factor will be there, and that will give the game positive marks on content.

Not sure what to tell everyone, but I hope the developers keep up the good work. I understand the demo is a short 5min Lv15ish quest. It is just what I expect from those levels.
