Open world content...

[Jynx]

There s nothing that has genuinely been presented to us which indicates that 2.0 will become a lobby, or anything close to it.

Not to be blunt but pretty much everytime Yoshida tells us something new about the game or releases content it ends up in a instanced event.

So I don't get where you don't see where the concern is coming from. All we have to go on for hopes of open world content is they don't want to waste the effort of making new maps. But with comments like exp-parties "Not going to work" in 2.0 I find it even hard to guess what the point of the open world will be besides farming.

Well at least I'll be able to jump in the open world. You know when I'm not busy idling in town waiting for my next raid warp.

I remember when the game first came out and it failed badly a lot of the jp players on 2ch were complaining how it was nothing like wow and they were expecting the game to be very similar to wow, they were making a huge deal about it..and they all quit xiv and went to some wow server. I wonder if that has anything with him trying to turn this into another wow at least that is how it is looking so far anyway

I agree with you on what yoshi is doing, really is a shame. I am sick of everything coming out as an instance, and if this is what 2.0 will bring Im pretty sure a lot of the player base will be exiting post haste. SE and the DEV's screwed up FFXI with what they did and it looks like they will do the exact same thing with FFXIV. It seems SE and the DEV's will never learn.

OHOHOHOHO but he did... "...not like at the moment where you have to do monster camping or farming, that's not going to work in 2.0"

It's going to be "CAMP THOSE DUNGEONS AND FARM THOSE CHESTS EVERYONE!"
