POL NEWS : Fields of Valor Beckon You! (11/28/2008)

[Dayner]

The much-awaited December version update will see the introduction of "Fields of Valor," a brand new in-game system that will allow players to engage in light-hearted yet rewarding adventuring, regardless of whether they are bereft of company or part of a hulking party.

Development Concept

Ever had a bit of time to spare, but not quite enough to participate in a normal leveling party? Or for a change of pace, just wanted to chill out and indulge in some light-hearted gaming with friends and fellow linkshell members?
If you answered in the affirmative to at least one of the above questions, then Fields of Valor is just what the doctor ordered. For a small fraction of your time (friends optional), you can enjoy fuss-free yet rewarding adventuring. Get more out of each Vana'dielian day with Fields of Valor!

How to Play

Using a "Field Manual" located in any of several areas will bring up a menu from which players can select a training regime of their choice. After that, it's just a matter of venturing forth and slaying the enemies listed in the regime. Those wishing to enjoy Fields of Valor in a party simply need to make sure they all select the same training regime.

Rewards

In Fields of Valor, the spoils and experience acquired in the natural course of slaying monsters will be yours to keep. In addition, upon successful completion of each training regime, players will be further rewarded for their fortitude with experience and a corresponding amount of gil, as well as "tabs"—points exclusive for use in Fields of Valor. These points can be exchanged for items and services that will surely benefit adventurers roughing it out in the field.

Ditto.

I only get 2-3 hours to play on weekdays, 1 horu of which goes to my random "chores" checking ah, chocobo, racing in circuit, etc, and with 1 hour to go I can't do much, so I'd like to do 1-2 of these a day.

Totally want to get full set of FoV gear, hope it looks sexy =D

So wrong, but so true. Either way it looks like they've encompassed a new aspect to the game that other MMO's have had for a while. I hope its just not like SE's other new content where it takes 10 emergency maintenance sessions to fix it.

Cause it would require more effort than say doing an OP quest to obtain... From what I can tell it wouldnt take longer to do these quest things than doing an OP quest.

Because a person cant solo them
