well for those "pro" players.. just dont look at the map then if you do not like it.

we had these markers also in 1.0. as for leves and as for the quests if you dont know this already.

so shut the fuck up

Oooh... an anonymous internet tough guy is telling me to shut up and throwing expletives around!

Looks like I've been told!

lol...

Yes, there were markers for leves in 1.0 because those were intended as short-term "quick content". Guess what? Leves are still in ARR, and what this video shows aren't leves. They're standard "quests" given out by world NPCs. These are the bread and butter of what the game will be.

I like how you mention the stuff on the map, but completely ignore mention of the large, gold icons floating all over the screen in-game as well. What's your advice for that? "Don't look at the screen"?

Maybe you should take your own advice there, yeah?

Well, its your complaint, so you should be doing it. don't tell me you weren't looking at the icons on the map in 1.0. and just think, when you click on them: POOF! They are gone!

ehm you havent quested in 1.0. did you? there have been also markers for quests and missions.... *rolls....

and yeah, you dont have to use the map then.. then you wont see markers on it. problem solved for the "pro" fanbase.
sorry.. thats just big *blabla* and flaming about old times and bad game design.

Awesome strawman there.

I'm talking specifically about the questing in FFXIV: ARR being a mindless, brainless endeavor as compared to questing in FFXI actually deserving the description, by making the player actually have to figure out and find things on their own.

I'm pretty clear in what I'm talking about, so you had to try pretty hard to completely miss it that completely.

Try again?

well you really have to use your brain when the mission said "go to taka tuka tomb and kill the big bat"?

its really no big deal or difference to me..

Weird, I guess all those little (!) bubbles on the map for missions/story content were just my imagination.
