Open world Dungeons

What do you guys think? Personally I would love to see some put in the game when the expansion comes. I say so because there aren't many in the game.

Outer La Noscea has the Kobold Mines.

How would you plan to deal with all the inevitable grieving, trolling, and e-drama? Besides, it would just leave out PS3, seeing as how they can barely do the congested S ranks, Odin, etc.

Well they could just be open world dungeons with fates, treasure hunts, and you know any other kind of open world content. Also I doubt one S rank in a dungeon would kill a PS3 players good time completely.

Says you. Earlier you said the Kobold Mines was an open world dungeon (which... it's really not... in terms of gameplay), so you should know how bad the congestion gets for even a simple A rank like Cornu in there. Hunts give PS3 players a lot of reasons of why they can't have a good time.

Ok, fair enough but why is it not an open world dungeon? Last time I checked it's in the open world not instanced and it's a dungeon with long expansive corridors mobs even boss type mobs appear in it. Also as stated there would be more to do than just Hunts in said dungeons.

I've always thought that they should have dungeons stay as is, but in addition perhaps make a replica of the dungeons in the actual game's world as well? That way you can choose to do it instanced, or through the world. Could be a bad idea but I don't know.

That would be pretty cool and maybe make it dangerous to go by yourself.

If those are open world dungeons I am glad there are almost none.

Wow I know it's not huge but it certainly isn't that bad if you ask me.

True. Plus I remember seeing doors you can't go past when doing dailies. Makes me wonder what we'll see beyond there in the future, if ever.

As for open world dungeons, I do kind of miss that sense of danger you'd have in ffxi when going solo to places like castle zvahl baileys. What made it so cool too was that there were so many levels, and if you fell all the way to the basement it was almost certain death (if you didn't plan accordingly). Would be nice to have at least one cool place like that.

I've been in that place A LOT for the beast tribe quests and I can't imagine why people would want more of those. There's nothing fun or exciting about it.
