Just passing through an area and stumble upon players fighting some form of notorious monster or mission/quest boss or just out there levelling or skilling up. Hell you might even see someone mining in the parlborough mines..

Also alot more interesting zones as well eorzea everything in the world is just wide open spaces. You can't go an explore that castle in lydia Lyran or the mun tuy cellars or any number of other places. Xi you could run around defaults tower or the eldieme necropolis or garleige citadel, castle vahzl, the sacrarium. Any number of places that weren't just big open areas of nothingness.

Just the fact you could actually see the action other players were engaged in was much more lively than XIV equivalent of a player just stood there with an icon above there heads doing nothing because they're in an instanced area completely seperate from the world..

Fates and hunts just dont cut it. The nature of everyone can participate just trivialises them into zerg fests and nothing more...

I do wish eorzea was actually alive....

Eorzea is dead a long time ago, this game isn't heading the same direction as the Eorzea of 1.0. Its world, its inhabitant, its aesthetic only exist to serve as a backdrop for the story, playthrough it once and abandoned.


I share your sentiment but majority of players don't care.
