im fine with instancing, however im not fine with the commonly abused "how the fuck did i go from A cave to the top of a volcano" or the "How in the hell did i go from a dead end maze to a small clearing in Thornemarsh"

i want to climb up the volcano with flame aspected mobs and Amjali Warriors to potentially halt my progress before kicking ifrits ass yet again. I want to zone into the thornemarsh to see a new area to explore and maybe fight Garlean troopers and there Mechs on the way to yet another Moogle win. these can be open area's.

Open Areas with Triggers, is the only way to go. Want to fight Ifrit Trigger it by placing a lamp on a pedestal to open the gate to his lare....want to fight the moogles trigger it by using the keystones to bring down there hedge(barrier). this can be instanced.
