Sea/Sky/Nyzul/ZNM/HNM Can I have It?

Diversity. Diversity. Diversity.

I love raiding and I am through all of coil/extremes with my FC. I LOVE raiding. However, we need diversity in our end game. Every mmo has followed the strategy of releasing a new "raid" aka the same format of end game with each significant patch. I would love to see FFXIV keep raiding in the game but also add OTHER END GAME SCENARIOS to the table ala NM's, Farming Zones with pop items, Tower Climbs, etc etc.

I really hope this garners some support. I'm not saying to make this FFXI, I'm begging for something different.

I mean it really just makes too much sense.

-Create an open zone(it can have multiple instances of said zone but it is accessible to the whole server).
-Allow it to be alliance/small group party play
-Farm challenging monsters for pop items
-pop items spawn bigger bosses and when spawned are "claimed" by party that spawns them
-let pop items be sellable/traded between players

Release this kind of content in a future patch/make it part of the main scenario to unlock. SE, do this please and you will profit i promise you! Who doesn't want open world end game progression available/doable at ANY TIME OF DAY with no restriction. Seriously, we need to fight for this. The community is so focused on talking about barber shops, butts, and vanity additions it is sickening. We need to talking about the CONTENT in this game on daily basis. 2.1 is releasing mostly fluff and another INSTANCED raid. 2.2 is scheduled to release more of coil, what maybe 5 more bosses max? I am seriously concerned about the end game health of the game. We need something different, something fresh in terms of end game. We have played other MMO's for the past 10 years that have released a new raid once every other patch, it doesn't work...SE, please try something else.

Can we, for the love of all things holy, get open-world areas that actually has our intra-server communities actually doing things together? Not everything needs to be instanced.

Keep in mind some of your examples came out over *years* of time.. we had Sky at NA launch and Sea followed what 2 years after that??

Producer letter mentions that 2.1 will continue the main scenario, I'm looking forward to it. ^^

I'm all for adding more main scenario. What i am most concerned about is having an open world zone ala sky/sea so players can have end progression ANYTIME they want with no concerns about lockouts etc. We need diverse end game. Every primal/raid/end game activity is instanced and is basically the same format. Kill said bosses/get loot. We need Diversity and I hope it is in their plans or if it isn't, the community can rally to make this kind of end game happen.

SE has already said that they're not adding any more content, certainly not in an upcoming patch that will have a bunch of stuff for people to enjoy. Crystal Tower, Extreme Primals, new dungeons, hard modes, these things are most certainly not scheduled for the patch that Yoshi-P spoke of in his latest letter to the community.

What Rue is mainly saying is that the content you are discussing had happened over time. The original JP release was released about 2 years before NA, NA was released with Sky, roughly 2 years later we got Sea and in about equal time between expansions we were given Nyz and then aby. The content takes time and hopefully will be added, we just need to continue to add our 2 cents to make sure that happens

You are quite hilarious. You know what all of those things have in common? They are just more of the same things we have in the game already. They aren't any different format or different activity/method of obtaining loot. They are all instanced raids and follow the same path of releasing new dungeons/raids every patch. I am asking for something open world/different.

Omg. This! Not only that... it would be nice to have longer fates that had all classes working together such as, maybe the disciples of war/magic protecting a player gather as they collect then escort him back to the npc to turn in. And at the end of the "large fate" every player got a huge lump sum of exp and stuff.

Would be win win all around, exp for the effort, interactivity, more immersive believable quest fates. Etc

Oh i realize that it will take time. The first patch of the game is releasing content that is basically new iterations of things we already have in the game is why I created the thread. I just hope they have different ideas down the pipeline that will give us diversity. I know it takes time to make content etc., I just hope they don't spend it making more instanced raids over and over and over and over....
