[devPLEASE] Dynamic World - If Ever You Do Something - Do This!

[Amsai]

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.

It's been on that path for a long time and the development have never really addressed the question no matter how often people ask. And then we are told that Yoshi is so open to the players and he's so much better than Tanaka, but when you compare him to other development leaders of other MMOs, we really don't know that much about what the game will be like in 2.0 beyond the new servers, which their function is still more than vague, and maybe a new race or something. I mean, the style of content we've been debriefed on is so vague and given the "themepark" stamp of approval but nothing more descriptive than that, really.

FFXIV's not really doing anything new, and all the innovative stuff is remnants of Tanaka's era of development.
