My concerns about a "worldless model" what are yours?

[Krausus]

We have little idea of what 2.0 will bring as far as we have been told all non instanced dungeons we have are undergoing a instancing make-over I don't see why they wouldn't do this for the strongholds either. PVP could for all we know be totally instanced (I actually imagine it would) almost all the content aside from the small spat of content they said would be open world (Odin) could be turned into a instance.

I'd love to sit back and wait for more information to trickle in, and I plan on doing so if I was dead set on thinking it would turn out to be my worst nightmare I would allready be gone. I'm looking at a worst case scenario for me, where everything for the most part is getting tied up into instances so people can use the world finder.

I understand the view may be a little overboard but I generally expect the worst until I hear otherwise. I have faith Yoshida has better plans for the game but with the team not being very forthcoming with information (Because people throw fits when they don't hit a deadline or something, or change their minds) all we can do is speculate.



Then please do explain what you meant by telling me that it's a moot point to speak our minds about the subject. If I misunderstood your intent please correct me because what I said is what I took your statement for.

do you actually really care about Mun Tuy, shopeshae, copperbell, etc? Are they even still going to be around in 2.0? Odds are any dungeons from here on out will be instanced and SE will focus on roaming NMs/Primals, strongholds and whatever encampments they add for open world content. I mean do you honestly thing SE is going to make everything instanced? Yoshi said he wanted a mixture of both, I think that alone is enough to stop all the speculation.

100% Agreed kind sir!!

I would be pretty devestated if leveling in dungeons became the primary way of growing in experience, as that would mean that people would 'grow' seperately from those on their own server and would be less likely to get a sense of the community they are becoming a part of. That sounds like a very sad situation. I feel that a instances should be for special items, end-game content and perhaps special missions. But you should always have a good reason to party in the open world, too, and at the moment I believe experience is the main reason for people to do that. Well, in my limited experience of FFXIV, anyway!

well not sure about you but I met most of my friends outside of leveling content so sure you will have some gap in the community but it only takes a bit of effort to fix it. It shouldnt be up to SE to create the community I mean they have given us all the necessary tools to do it ourselves. Also there are a lot of people that already refuse to join in pick up groups, I dont think content finder will change that at all. I know I would rather run with people I already know.

I prefer a mix, because those people I already know I only know because I once partied with them without knowing them. Obviously it's always great to party with a bunch of people you know, but most of the people I've partied with have all been from different LS's, but despite that we've all grown to know each other simultaneously and it's been quite neat. xD I imagine as I level, there will always ben one or two people who I don't know that I can then get to know. Hopefully it'll eventually get to the point that, like on FFXI even at L40 or so, I was able to run through Junon and see a mass of people I recognise, waving all the way.

I'd love to hear about some of this open world content aside from Odin we haven't heard anything. I know it's a 2.0 thing but were getting closer to it by the day some information would be nice.

Well there is hamlet defense, and the new strong hold coming up

[Jynx]

They have been ever so silent about Hamlet defence makes me wonder if it will even hit it's 1.22 release mark.

being silent could mean they are working their asses off to get 1.22 out before golden week, lets hope.
