This is why quest markers make the game for 2 year olds

I hope you know the system is not individually designed for each individual quest. Some code will be used to generate those markers and yes it might seem stupid on something so close, when something starts in limsa and says go to coerthas its very handy.

I'm fine with the quest markers as is, they are useful for quickly reminding yourself where to go. I start quests and a lot of times don't finish them in one sitting (LS starts leves, log out to go to sleep etc.) Its easy to just quickly check the map and see where I was heading before I stopped.
This does not really hurt anything at all, its just convenience.

A game. Insulting your Intelligence.

Anyway, I didn't look at the map at that quest =D You know... chocobo stable, 34 seconds from the guild. And I didn't see the marks at all in the minimap

Tsk, reading journal is for who don't want to read what the NPC tells. If you take it without looking at the journal, you can have more fun in the quests by having the chatting as the only information thing, then if you can't solve the enigma, just open the journal as a final resource.

Just a suggestion to make quests more adventurous and funny =D

i dont mind the quest marker, but i dont like the looks, they have to be perhaps 3d slightly transparent or something... or just the ! without the bubble, or perhaps just the bubble but a bit smaller and i would love to have it decrease in size or saturation the lower the quest lvl is. So if im lvl 36 i dont really see or barely see it if its a lvl 5 DOW quest.

If its a quest that has follow ups or is a part of a quest chain then it should stay the same no matter what lvl.

just my 5 cents

I don't like the markers because
A) I don't find them necessary... I'm "one of them readers" who likes to take in what the NPC is telling me, follow the clues and figure things out for myself.
B) They're an eye-sore to me adding more clutter to the game world than, I think, is needed.
C) They have this tendency to make it feel less like a "world" where these NPCs are actual citizens, and more like a "game" where they're simply cardboard cut-out quest dispensers.

That said... I know there are others who find them handy, even necessary (sad as I find it in those cases). And so I could live with them being there..

I would just request an option to toggle them on or off. This way those who like to have them up can have them. Those of us who don't can hide them.

Everyone's happy.

I don't mind them being on my map, but I would prefer they not be floating over NPCs heads. I would make use of an option to turn them off.

I'm glad some people agree ^-^ I also think they are too big and appear from too far away, they clutter up my map and screen all the time it's really annoying. Also, the idea of using map cords given via the quest text and other stuff is a great idea! Using the game to find the item, without being told exactly where it is with a big "HEY OVER HERE!" sign, and not using a site would be amazing.

This is why quest markers make the game for 2 year olds.

You should be glad they keep your age group in consideration!

Its imminent that Shiyo has nothing else to complain about. >_>
