Please do not make group quest open world areas.

Nvm.
ITT: People are scared of mobs lol.

Everyone keeps citing flying as avoiding these mobs.

In the benchmark is shows a group of adventurers flying around, then getting ganked by a giant flying whale thing.

I don't think flying will relieve us from the aggro of the mobs in these new zones personally.

Open world is what builds lasting friendships, and gives the game a real atmosphere. To be honest with you, queing for dungeons allows for people to become bitter and unfriendly, since they will never see you again. If everything was instanced then there would be no need to have an open world at all. I say bring it on!

People hate challenge outside of Coil it looks like.

"Challenge" as in, "you're dead if a mob so much as looks at you without someone taking hits and someone making the green bars full"? Yes, that belongs in dungeons and raids. A and S-rank hunt mobs also fall into this.

Don't forget we'll get flying mounts so it won't be bad.

You can't mount once you have aggro, since it counts as you being in combat.

Maybe people should start making friends and starting FC's so they won't feel so alone.
By 50 and so, you should have some friends or a FC to help you run through.

Sure, let's screw over people who work irregular shifts and are usually on their own because of it. This is in spite of me having met people along my travels and being part of a decent-sized FC on my server. Having the option to group up for stuff outside of dungeons and raids is nice. Being forced to group up isn't. That's where the difference lies.

Again, I'll paraphrase yoshi: "You may have to prepare to flee or fight to your best if you pull two monsters at once" and "You may want to ask for help to enter beastmen strongholds" not "You solo, you die, group up or get lost" like you seem to interperate it.

Considering the former is generally a polite way of saying the latter (much like saying "you might want to bring a healer" means "bring a healer or you have an extremely high chance of dying"), that ain't much comfort.

We'll see how mob scaling goes. And I'll laugh if I start seeing "nerf open world mobs" posts in about 3 months or so.

And we'll fight every step of the way. We lost the fight for Steps, but considering the ease of getting 8 morons to hit anything in range and one healer to spam aoe heals, this shouldn't be a fight we lose.

Why try and turn FF XIV into FF XI?

Why try and turn FF XIV into FF XI?

I didn't think people were. I thought people wanted a sense of danger for once in this
"baby hold my hand" game. TERA's open world instance things were mega fun and teaming up was too.
Why turn this into a single player game when it's a MMO?
Talk people. o_ o; Would hate if they got nerfed..

Why try and turn FF XIV into FF XI?

When I said the above news to fc mates, most people I talked to said "they are happy the danger from 1.0 is returning" not XI.
