Nah. Turn Island Sprint into PvP Sprint, and give us that in cities. (PvP Sprint is just toggleable on or off, canceled on using another ability.)

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

Just level a ranged DPS to Peloton for city travel.

What are the media bosses, ones made to show off at press tours and such? I remember Proto-Ultima, Yojimbo, the Magus Sisters, not sure if there are others.

Yeah. Leave it 20s/60s CD out of combat in instances, but make it like PvP sprint in cities and sanctuaries.

Ehhhh. I have a ranged DPS for Peloton, I even made a gearset for it with the Sprint boots! (I no longer have that gearset, I wasn't using it.)

The problem is that while Sprint is a 25% increase and Peloton is 20%, Peloton doesn't trigger the Sprint animation! :negative:

I mostly think there's less story. There's no real relic storyline outside of the hildibrand stuff that previously existed in addition to the relic storyline, there's no trial series story, and Tataru's is, by design, inherently unfocused (to the poine where it's barely even about Tataru.) I'm not begging for Eureka back but I'm not fond of the way the stories are being told.

I'm not sure how the buttons work internally but if they can keep the current in-combat function while also making it work like a toggle out of combat, that would be great.

This is dead on, I think. The problem is that there is a trial series story, it's just being passed off as the MSQ, which it very much is not worthy of being.

I very much disagree that dealing with the Void isn't worthy of the MSQ. It could be better (I don't even think it's bad, tbh, I just agree it's "merely" decent-okay), but it's absolutely something worth covering in the MSQ.

I don't think "more story" would satisfy a single person with content complaints. Those people would knock out the story on patch day and still complain of lack of story.

COMMENCE THE RITE OF SHITPOSTING

I've said before and again but the current MSQ is good, it just feels like a filler arc. The writing is as strong as ever imho its just that you are coming down from an incredible climax the game had been building to for 5 expansions.

This isn't "dealing with the void" any more than the HW alliance raid story was. Actually dealing with the void will probably never be a part of the MSQ because they locked their dealing with the void hooks behind the ShB role quests.

Edit: to be clear, I don't think the current MSQ is bad bad. The writing is okay to good and the characters are great. It just somehow feels both empty/fillery while also being too high stakes immediately after EW.

They probably just don't want people running at sprint speed the whole time.

I doubt there would be any obstacle in implementing it if they wanted it to change.

Yeah but it's almost certainly a Japanese ttrpg publisher rather than western so only people paying much attention to that scene would have a clue.

I do know Sword World is d6-only and most Japanese ttrpgs primarily use d6s due to other polyhedral dice not really taking off there. The fact that it's also using d20s and has discrete action cards is throwing me off a bit.

One of the reasons why people like Bozja and Eureka is because beyond the core leveling and story content, there was always an incentive to go back without feeling like you had to go back.
On top of just generally enjoying the content, one of the reasons I think Eureka and Bozja are cool is that the zones are made for large groups of people to be doing stuff in. I'm regularly in voice chat with 12-15 people in it each night so we could all get into the same Bozja instance and do stuff all together in there rather than splitting into parties of 4/8 and doing stuff in those smaller parties.

I also enjoy hunt trains and S-rank hunt marks for that sort of reason as well. That content isn't particularly compelling as far as the fights go but i like being around 50-200 people doing stuff.

Sure, they've got some hooks behind the ShB role quests (and HW Extremes), but I don't think we're going to just kill Zeromus and that's it. All that extra Light from the First (if that's what we end up doing) is going to do something more than break the shield around Zeromus, though I'm not expecting a complete undo. Whatever happens there's a pretty decent chance there's going to be a gateway between the First and the Void, and it'd be pretty easy for them to add in a sidequest to have the appropriate NPCs move around and go about experimenting on how to restore the Void after we're done.

There might be some merit to this if you weren't forced to get a mount relatively early on, the majority of the cool mounts weren't acquired in-game and the two speed boost mounts weren't invalidated by doing the MSQ or 6 FATEs.

I am not really clear what you mean here. They're not going to completely solve the Void's problems forever in the same way as there will still be some Garlean remnants around but there's not really any way that this story is going to get resolved that doesn't end with a massive status quo change for the Void.

Also Idyllshire, and Mor Dhona was ARR's "small city," so really it's just ShB and EW that don't have hangout spots where you could mount.
