Make this game a open world sandbox mmorpg

Sandbox style rpg is the most popular form of the rpg mainly because players create their own character have tons of customization, impact the world and the stories are non-linear.
Sandbox style fits perfectly with MMORPG's because players can impact the virtual world like in real life. It allows for tons of customization and flexibility with the player character instead of the static choices we have now and it's fun.

Do you know how much would get into lalafells' pants? Ok so jokes aside....

You want them to hop on a bandwagon with other games that are like that just because it's 'popular'? And if every little thing that everyone can do impacts the world, there would be constant changing everywhere and whatnot. I can see open world being perfect for solo player games, but with an MMO RPG like this? No thanks.

Plus they scrapped 1.0 and will be moving onto their first expansion in the spring (Aka 3.X), so you're pretty late in suggesting this with any hope to get it to change.

It's not happening Akiza. This game will never be Second Life with a FF skin which is what you seem to want, no matter how many threads you make. The game's current design is sound, and they can build off of that, but they will never change the fundamental aspects of the game which is why 1.0 was scrapped and replaced with ARR in the first place. Accept that and move on.

Sandbox
Themepark
SandPark

All have their niche places in MMOs.

FFXIV is and will remain incompatible with the 'pure' sandbox motif.

...and thank the Twelve that it is this way.

Let's wait until everquest next hits before we go about asking for that. There are plenty of games that offer a sandbox feel, but the only MMO game that i can think of that truly lives up to the sandbox genre is EVE

Most of those MMO's calling themselves Sandbox are themepark MMORPG's with a sandbox environment.

It's too difficult to make this a sandbox MMO. As much as I want it to be I know it will never become sandbox.

Ok folks, lets shut down the servers and make a diferent game. No matter if Final Fantasy is a jrpg franchise, forget everything you suscribed for.

I actually giggled reading this. Now we went from giving feedback and suggestions directly to "hey change your game to something else entirely! I don't like jrpg I like sandbox!"

Oh yes I have an idea, why not make a Skyrim online? Wait... it already exists does it? What? Elder Scrolls Online?? But I want Final Fantasy D:

Final Fantasy XIV: Minecraft Edition.

Just saying XD

Elder Scrolls Online is open world theme park. It has a good concept but poorly executed.

It could work if they have large scale PvP sieges in cities like Balastia. Add 24 man Casual and Mid Core Raiding and add skill trees to specialize in for jobs.

That wouldn't really make it a sandbox.

Really what you want is for them to add more large scale content and vertical progression (a far more reasonable request than your original one).
