The lack of exploration to be had within the game outside of seeing the new zones for the first time when a new expansion goes live is a large part of my frustration with FFXIV. It hits particularly hard of late when the narrative is scaling things back and making our character into a humble adventurer again. I'm very much on board with that decision, since I primarily play fantasy games to lose myself in an immersive world and explore what they have to offer.

So, yeah, I'd very much appreciate the ability to sail off to randomly generated islands and plunder treasure, fight monsters and see interesting sights. I don't think it's an unreasonable request either - older MMO's have managed to implement such content successfully and so have many pseudo-MMO's such as Monster Hunter World.

At the moment, I get my exploration fix from playing ESO but that's a shame since I'd rather not be investing in multiple MMO's given how much of a time sink even one of them can be.
