Instance this Instanced that! ( Pre 2.0 talk!)

Frontlines will probably most likely be instanced

I highly doubt it, If its nations trying to keep control of an area that means countless people from that nation that has control will be there ( which is Alot!)

Two PvP venues, Coliseum and Frontlines, to be released after version 2.0. Unique zones to be created so
as not to affect non-participating players.

Not mention they said to be riches and goods within that area and what looks to be a cave inside. It doesn't look like an instanced place to me.

Just the current version of FFXIV had to use Instanced Yes they could have done non-instanced stuff.. but with these servers they have a "limit" to them... and that Limit is very short.. would it really be enjoyable in the current version we are in?

And Yoshi-p did say that with 2.0 servers will be able to see over 100 players in one place or something like that.. Doesn't that give you a hint.. that not everything will be instanced?

.... meaning instanced, an area that wont effect outside people=instance.

People do realize how much content in recent mmo's is instanced right? Hell in FFXI there were only like 4 events that were open world while the rest were instanced? IMO it's not so much the fact that content is instanced but it's how the content is presented to us. SE can clearly come up with more clever mechanics besides a "speed run" philosophy but they haven't yet. Gives us varied content and you'll have less complaints about instancing(however some light open world content would be nice but I prefer majority of serious stuff to be instanced)

Not Necessarily, but okay

I have to agree with this... I can't even argue with it.

I don't care about instances really, its the party restrictions that suck.

So what if I'm gonna die, at least let me try it solo or even duo/trio. Why force 4-8 party members for all instances? Maybe I just want to do some farming in cutters or get an AF chest?

Also to the OP, you sound like someone's mom, the truth is we're paying customers so we can complain as much as we want when things suck XD

Well to be honest, it really doesn't matter what goes on here. They've got an idea already of what they want to do as far as instancing is concerned, I wouldn't expect it to change. The only times the community has changed the devs minds is when there was an enormous unanimous backlash. There are a good number of supporters for both on either side so I don't think support on either side is big enough to change their minds.

Also it's not as black and white as everyone's making it. There will be a mix of both types of content, that is what they have been doing since Yoshida took over. Both sides should appreciate the content that is given to them for their preferred type of content. Just because the content isn't something you like doesn't mean it doesn't exist or doesn't matter. If a mix of instanced and open-world content is not good enough for you though, I would suggest you cut your losses and quit. Find a game that offers the type of content that you do like and play it. Games are meant to be enjoyed, if you're not enjoying it then the next logical step would be to stop playing. The devs are, in most cases, going to do what they want.

Can you really expect him to put non-instanced content, on a Server Structure that can't even handle a Non-Instanced Situation?

About that.

This game was originally released without the intent to be instance heavy and be more of a 'community interaction is the main content' deal, if the old promises and interviews would hold true. If the game could never handle strong open world content, then they screwed up harder than I ever imagined.

its just through your weight around towards to community to just
