Do you really want to see Sky 2.0 in FFXIV?

[Dzian]

I'm All for sky or any form of open world content i really hate the fact that everything is instanced makes the world so dead.

i want a world where i could ride through an area and see people killing some nm or doing the blm final af fight out in the open world. sure there were claim issues and stuff but the world felt much more alive as a whole.

People don't want a alive world they want the whole themepark experience.

They want servers that are crowded during primetime and dead during downtime.
They want to line up infront of door to have fun.

Probably given his sig, then will say what he says. Especially from Majora's Mask..that's just lolwhatthefuck.

But yeah, recreating IDENTICAL hallways isn't really acceptable.

[Ingolf]

Right, just needed an instance zone at the start of sky, right to kirin... right?

Because a 50-50 chance to take the correct teleporter was completely skill based.

Nah I just found this ironic considering your Majora's Mask sig lol.

[Dagr81]

you need a little of both open world and instance
the world need to feel alive and i think thats whay Yoshi-P said in one of his old interviews
that's why the zone are going to be smaller

When i walk out into GW2 world, it feel like hey besides me there are things going on, wild life etc.
i hope 2.0 has this.

On a side not i believe the 1.0 ghost will kill 2.0 no matter how you look at it (hope i am wrong)

Content Zombies, everywhere.

There's a huge difference between people who have fun through a challenge and those, that even though they want to preach challenge and come here and cry about time sinks, really only have fun when they get what they want in the quickest time possible. Stop bullshitting.

And no more bullshit about "The MMO standard". I could give a shit about ten million members. At what point in the game do you notice the difference between 500000 and ten million. How can you, as a player of a game, use NUMBERS to argue a game is good. Flat out stupidity. It's the same for every business from Hollywood to the music industry all the way down to us in the MMO genre. Companies just hop on the assembly line to pump out rehashed crap because they know we'll buy it and they'll make a quick buck. This is all becoming the Twilights and Nicki Minajs of the world. Some people don't find those things "good". But I'd bet that those who do, only do because that's what everyone else thinks is "good" at the moment. I don't often come across anyone saying: "Man, I really wish Ja Rule would make a new CD". And just like them you want to come on here and act higher than everyone else with your: "Well, well, friend, that's the standard for MMOs these days!". Really.. And how did you come to that conclusion. Oh that's right, because you read it online.

YEEEEEES!!!

You can (Run away!) but you can't hide in Sky! They'll eat your brains! Then you're ZOMBIE-FIDE! Guahahaha!

Do I want a system like Sky in ffxiv? No, but I would love to see a zone similar to the awe that was sky. Heck, even a zone similar to the Riverne-Site zone would be nice. I remember my first time going deep into the shroud and running into the area where you almost seemingly walk along walkways that seem to be a tangle of roots or the first time seeing Ishgard. These type of concepts in a fantasy realm are absolutely beautiful when you just want to go exploring/sight-seeing with a friend.

...have you played any other FF game?

Or even a Zelda game.

Single-player RPG =/= MMORPG. There's a difference in design to keep in mind.
