Next FF MMO should be open-world.

[Jeeqbit]

Gonna be honest: I'm kinda tired of Open World games. Everyone's like: "But you can do whatever you want" and what I want is to have a clear objective.

I always wanted an Open World game until I actually played one.

My experience in that game was entirely different to my friend's. I didn't want to experience what I was experiencing. I wanted to experience what my friend was experiencing. FOMO was affecting me (fear of missing out). So I quit the game.

And that is why open world games don't work and why it has to be linear like in FFXIV.

How do I downvote people?

It wasn't always super linear. This is why we have linear ass dungeons, and everything is on rails now. 'Cause of the crying babies.

Everyone cries about FOMO, when they should experience new stuff, because it's an MMO in a living virtual world. Not everything needs to be experienced the same way by every person.

Congratulations, your objective now is to finish MSQ, then AFK in Limsa.

Why AFK in Limsa, instead of playing the game?
Your advising them to Not Play the game after MSQ, when they want something to motivate them to play the game, an Objective.
Why not suggest something that involves playing the game after MSQ?

Choices? Decisions? In my MMO? Too open, we here at XIV only MSQ then AFK.

Seems like a bad way to use a Sub, when there is so much more to do then MSQ.

I've always taken the Massive in MMORPG to refer to the population, not the map.

Sounds like a you problem when literally all you see is MSQ and the bench over at Limsa/Gridania.

[DiaDeem]

Then AFK in Limsa.

I hate Limsa
