What steps could the devs take to better the Open World in XIV?

[Hanayumi]

I wouldn't mind an open world version of Wondrous Tails, basically the challenge log but more detailed and far better rewards. A couple tiles of, do X number of fates in so & so zone, a couple tiles of harder specfic fates like world boss fates, a tile for each gatherer needing to collect X number items within a region, and a few final tiles for hunts. The challenge log has a lot of this but the rewards and general layout is just forgettable. Just some simple weekly busy work that will make venture out in the open world at least.

I like your idea, and to be honest, sounds even better than the current Wondrous Tails we have.

Personally, I will add more secrets (hidden treasures or lore entries for example) and one time activities linked to achievements to keep players interested in that kind of stuff entertained for a longer period of time.
