Personally I like the idea and want to hear the NPC talking and me talking to them in a cut scene with full voice over.. What I am tired of is reading the stupid quests on a damn pop up and not being able to ask them questions or say something different to possibly get a different quest because I asked the right questions.
Now days I feel that NPC's really are just bulletin boards with quests attached to their foreheads. Not to mention the giant glowing ! over their heads, I sure as hell hope FFXIV doesn't go with that trend. I just find it funny that a game that is 8 years old had cut scenes for quests and games that released just last year still use the crappy old popup scroll. I guess it shows that some companies just are to lazy to actually make questing a bit more interesting..
There's been a lot of talk about SWTOR story driven quest system. Seems to me most people just browse the quests anyway so why would they want to watch a 2 minute cut scene every time they talk to an NPC. I think I'd turn that stuff off really quick which kind of defeats the purpose. I can't imagine the "casual" player wanting to pay attention to all that, and you can forget about the "hardcore" player caring. Is it just me and does everyone else really want to listen to NPC's explain the "story" in your MMO?
