Pretty sure yoshida said in ARR (not just alpha) the main level progression is quest based. Primary doesn't mean only.

Hopefully, because that is the main problem with quest based level progression lol.

So grinding mobs in the same area's over and over again is not boring as well? Anyway OP in 2.0 you can choose to lvl in raids all day if you wish or doing leves and other things. If you had no prob lvling in 1.0 with leves, you accepting quest for xp wont be any different except this time they will have some stories to go with them.

You are forgetting guild leves, mob grinding and dungeon exp are still in the game and still give you exp.

**indira** · 12-16-2012 07:59 AM

they should turn leves into full blown fields of valor.

True, Quest-based leveling is the main leveling, but they are including alternative leveling such as the F.A.T.E, Dungeon runs.

(escort and hamlet falls under F.A.T.E)

There's still leves I know, but I don't think you start with your allowance at 99, and if you have already leveled 1 job in Gridania, Ul'dah and Limsa are you then forced to do leves?

Sorry if this has been brought up before - couldn't find it anywhere.
Just worried, that's all.

There are some critical aspects of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn different from other games. First of all you can have different classes, this makes surely difficult (maybe impossible) have enough quests for all of them (Disciples of War, Disciples of Magic, Disciples of Hand, Diciples of Land, plus future classes). What I can say for sure is that you will can make experience points as you wish. Maybe with some limitations, but you are free to choose the best way of getting experience as you like, and I'm glad of it.

DOOOOOM GLOOOOM!!! Oh noes!

Player one: We needs moar questz!

Player two: Questz r DUMB and 4 n00bs, only HardcOr grinz for mie!

Player three: Umm, can't we have both? If I want quests i'll do them, if I want to grind in a party i can do that too? Or is something stopping me?

Player one and two: STFU! U R stifling my right of free speech! You cant do both, its IMPOSIBRU!

EDIT: Sorry, i didnt think this was a serious conversation so i thought i would have a little fun

I just hope they don't make solo questing that much better to the point where exp parties are made pointless. I know this happens in some other games out there which focus on questing and where you only see parties at an "end-game" that is not so much the "end" as it is the beginning of the actual game...

Quest are 100% fine. As long as the whole leveling process is not SOLO! that is the #1 issue in all western mmos atm. Outside raids/dungeons everything is solo based. Instance grouping is NOT ENOUGH.

The only problem with quest leveling in most mmos is it is pure solo based, which is stupid. Make them soloable, make them give a bonus for completing with groups.

I think a game with a good group questing option as well as a solo one would be a huge win.
