Finally, we are going to be steadily adding more and more leves that encourage coordination between all the classes including gathering/crafting/magic/war. Please look forward to it!
This would be quite interesting!

Like requiring DoW or DoM players to accompany DoL players on a mission to gather rare materials -- while surrounded by dangerous monsters that would need to be fended off.

Or sending DoH players on a quest to fix a broken device out in the field, perhaps in a beast tribe thus requiring fighters for protection while they work -- or even working together with the beast tribes to fight off another foe.

Just daydreaming here... ^^


Also, the faction leves that were in the Open Beta are designed to be a somewhat "different taste" from regular leves, with hidden starting conditions or npcs. The rewards for these are fairly good, so please try them out!
It's really sad. They had such big plans and hopes for FFXIV.

All the time they thought they would have to continuously develop new content has been taken away, and they are now desperately making changes to appease the disgruntled player base.

It sounds like they have already laid the ground work for a lot of future activities.

What they probably need now is the time to develop it into playable content.
