As near as I can tell, the current implementation of the Timed Quests is universally reviled.Whelp, went in to fight the last leg of the string of hunts only to find that it expired.
I'm really not liking how these timed quests are going lately. I have a grand total of 150 Quest Points. 150. That's it. The Afro Sword is 1,000. Good lord.

Hopefully this is just a gauge of priorities. I think all of these should be added to the game. My top picks areArdyn's past and Ifrit's Betrayal. 'The Line of Lucis' seems like an interesting choice though.
- Takatsugu Nakazawa, the RPG Design Lead, has worked as a Battle Planner, Battle Director, and Lead Game Designer since Final Fantasy VII.
- Features that were reworked: Level Design, Battle System, and Leveling Balance.
- Features that were kept from previous Final Fantasies: System Features, Ability System, and Game Over Prevention.
- The developers want to allow different playstyles but present the world in the same way to all players.
- Game Overs are purposefully prevented because the developers don't want to keep players from progressing the game. If you are not ready for an enemy or quest, things like consumables allow players to escape or power through.
- Business Division 2 is always working on something new.
If Nakazawa was to Direct a Future Final Fantasy Game
- Features to keep: System Features, Action Battle System, and Open World.
- Features to rework: Story Placement, Ability and Leveling System, and Leveling Balance.
- Main Quests shouldn't be so obvious, and the lines between Main Quests and Side Quests should be blurred.
- Each party member should level differently based on their background, physical/mental/magical attributes, personality, et cetera.
- Quests and different regions of the world should be drastically different from each other in terms of recommended Level, enemies, and rewards.
What implications are you thinking of there, X? I can only picture it involving covenants, and I feel like we got to see enough of that already to satisfy my curiosity. Wasn't much to see, really. We got to see all of if with Leviathan, a short flashback with Titan, and, well, how interesting could Ramuh's really have been?
Spend your vote on more story content, dammit!

Honestly, I could give two shits about Ifrit's Betrayal or the line of Lucis; it's not imperative to understanding the story. Ardyn's past? Sure, but what else is there to know? He was of the line of Lucis, and was supposed to be the Chosen King but his way of 'healing' people made him impure, thus he got kicked out of that role. Worst reaction to getting fired ever.
The World and Ruin and Noctis's disappearance are would be nice additions. Cor's activities? He's one of my favorite characters, so yeah I love it, but since he was reduced to a side character instead of a party member like he was originally supposed to be, I'm not fussed.
I want more story content with Luna. She's the main heroine of the freakin game and as much as I love her, she got completely gipped. I don't care so much if she's playable, because really, what exactly are you going to do with her besides forge covenants?
Playable Gentiana, Iris, Aranea, meh. I love all three of them, but the main heroine needs more time in the spotlight. Those three are pretty much minor footnotes in the main story.
Speaking for myself (someone who can't vote ), I'm most interested inIfrit's betrayal and Ardyn's past. After that would probably be the World of Ruin. Of the story content, Luna's activities probably rank at the bottom of my list.
