Yes its rather disappointing what it really is. Also the fact that it is instanced and restricted to parties of 8 is also................... wierd. Should have been open world large scale PvE. Maybe 2.0 will open up the ability to do that, but I am starting to see certain patterns in FFXIV, and I am afraid other than new servers a new engine and a changes to the world geography........... its pretty much gonna be the same game, and the same style of content. Timed dungeons, primals, some new story here and there, and a whole lot of vast nothingness in between.
