Future Public Dungeons

[Rockette]

I'm not sure about a "public dungeon". I thought Eureka itself was that, to be honest.

But a massive raid of 48 people has clearly been demonstrated to work, even though we've had to rely on Discord for grouping and smash our heads against these stupid portals. If the party finding and instance reserving was properly implemented I think a lot of people would like a little more difficulty than the mindless 24mans. But they need to realize that people are going to want to raid with their friends/team mates.

if they upgrade xi's graphics add 2 the races/creation screen and made it go to ps4+ xiv would die in 4 hours

i really doubt this since ff11 IMHO is very awkward to play and start its not very stream lined compared to ff14 which is very beginner friendly
so it would just flood the ff11 forums with a lot of complaints about the game itself

and alot of old ff11 players don't really like what ff11 has become in the recent years so i doubt giving ff11 some aesthetic tweaks fix anything nor would it kill ff14.

Regardless at least xi was a true final fantasy 2 the core not a brainless wow 2.0 with chocobos and moogles that honestly insults many of the core aspects of final fantasy for the sake of ppl who cant think things out or the classic its a mmo excuse

What does this have to do with public dungeons; it's just a random attack on the game and its players. Nice.

Actrually it has 2 do with alot with dungeons and jobs completely since pre xiv ff had always used s type of public or open world dungeon

pretty subjective stuff there
but i find this game much more faithful to the FF franchise as a whole then games like ff13 and ff15
and has a very good mix of fantasy and sci fi like ff6


personally would like this topic to get back at hand of open dungeons in ff14 then another "i want ff14 to be like ff11 because i hate ff14"

And if your going to be anti final fantasy aspects like open world you shouldn't be playing any ff game period honestly what made xi overall better is it put final fantasy first then the mmo aspect and I'm will to bet if they upgrade xi's graphics add 2 the races/creation screen and made it go to ps4+ xiv would die in 4 hours

The Final Fantasy brand means nothing to me. I like some of their individual games, including FFXIV, and the spin-off Kingdom Hearts is one of my favorite ARPGs to date. It doesn't matter to me if a Final Fantasy game "isn't a real Final Fantasy" so long as I had fun.

And I have fun with FFXIV. If you don't have fun with FFXIV, you shouldn't play it, brand or no.

But Duskane has a point, I apologize for contributing to the derail.

The two things ill say about the BA, based on what i have see so far, is that . the way to access it is a bad idea in a large scale community. People are having a very tough time getting in due to griefers. Secondly the content really need to be more fun. The dungeon is really not much different then what we have already seen.

This is why open world content is a bad idea. Yes it's currently in an instance, but it's still what I would consider open world content.

For what its worth the game did have open-world dungeons in 1.0. For example, this video goes into detail about how Natalan was originally a 1.0 open-world dungeon. You can still find guides to power-leveling in these dungeons up on Youtube.
