Interview of Naoki Yoshida during the Japan Expo

Some things seem a bit weird. Roaming primals will have an instanced fight? From that, it seems like every little thing is instanced in 2.0.

Well obviously in this case it's a preventive measure.

If you think about it the primal fights will be balanced for 8 man parties (like they are now), if they made the entire fight open world you could come along with 3 parties or more and turn the fight itself into a complete joke.

>Primal roams open world
>Luck to find the primal in open world
>Gather a group and go to the primal wherever it is in the open world
>Instanced fight

Dammit SE.

It's only instanced because they won't add a better claiming system ~.~

[Babydoll]

Oh that makes me sad....

I thought we were having more open world content...

[Limonconcon]

Craaappppp....everythign sounds like WOW crap... more pets??? and mounts???
I dont get anything... Im freaking confuse!!!
Instanced primals that you claim on open world??? what if u lose the fight???
Leveling should be a way to meet people and socialize while you fight and have fun.... Not a DIABLO III shit where you can have only one way... leveling by doing the storyline?? WTF!!!!

This is kind of what I thought though with about 66% less punctuation.

It does not matter what we think lol everything you said people want that where the market is people want the same boring shit and don't care to try out new and fun ways. I knew yoshi-p would make this more like WoW all the update we having now look and remind me of FFXI but come 2.0 you have to level by doing quest and dungeon? no real open world stuff? ya sound boring but w/e that where the money is i'll still enjoy the game at least it more towards PVE then PVP and there storyline

If you wanna blame anyone for instances blame griefers, it because of griefers that instances have to be created so that content can easily done without interference from other players. Do you think it would be fair for a group to claim a primal in the open-world then 10 free companies proceeding to run over to watch and lag them out so that they fail? That's why it has to be an instance, it's easy enough to screw people over by lagging them out and it was done with HNMs back in XI. It's also why a command known as "blockaid" was created because people would fight the Fafnir and other ls's would heal the tank and attempt to grab hate so that they could force fafnir to use spike flail and make said ls lose the fight.
