Sea/Sky/Nyzul/ZNM/HNM Can I have It?

[Berezo]

Diversity. Diversity. Diversity.

I love raiding and I am through all of coil/extremes with my FC. I LOVE raiding. However, we need diversity in our end game. Every mmo has followed the strategy of releasing a new "raid" aka the same format of end game with each significant patch. I would love to see FFXIV keep raiding in the game but also add OTHER END GAME SCENARIOS to the table ala NM's, Farming Zones with pop items, Tower Climbs, etc etc.

I really hope this garners some support. I'm not saying to make this FFXI, I'm begging for something different.

I mean it really just makes too much sense.

-Create an open zone(it can have multiple instances of said zone but it is accessible to the whole server).
-Allow it to be alliance/small group party play
-Farm challenging monsters for pop items
-pop items spawn bigger bosses and when spawned are "claimed" by party that spawns them
-let pop items be sellable/traded between players

Release this kind of content in a future patch/make it part of the main scenario to unlock. SE, do this please and you will profit i promise you! Who doesn't want open world end game progression available/doable at ANY TIME OF DAY with no restriction. Seriously, we need to fight for this. The community is so focused on talking about barber shops, butts, and vanity additions it is sickening. We need to talking about the CONTENT in this game on daily basis. 2.1 is releasing mostly fluff and another INSTANCED raid. 2.2 is scheduled to release more of coil, what maybe 5 more bosses max? I am seriously concerned about the end game health of the game. We need something different, something fresh in terms of end game. We have played other MMO's for the past 10 years that have released a new raid once every other patch, it doesn't work...SE, please try something else.

Can we, for the love of all things holy, get open-world areas that actually has our intra-server communities actually doing things together? Not everything needs to be instanced.

Omg. This! Not only that... it would be nice to have longer fates that had all classes working together such as, maybe the disciples of war/magic protecting a player gather as they collect then escort him back to the npc to turn in. And at the end of the "large fate" every player got a huge lump sum of exp and stuff.

Would be win win all around, exp for the effort, interactivity, more immersive believable quest fates. Etc

Good idea. There's just this thing called a PS3 that will melt if they implement such a thing.

The Ps2 could handle open world content just fine, the ps3 should be able to deal with it as well.

So explain to me how the PS2 could do besieged in FFXI just fine, which held 1000 players and massive amounts of enemies, and yet PS3 can't handle anything? Kinda makes you wonder. Is this just an excuse to shut people up when they ask for certain content? hmmm

Sadly won't happen since it would require a fix to the sluggish movement mechanics of the game. The devs have stated that they can't extend their upcoming "fix" to the entire game because it would be too much for the servers. Thus, the open-world area is going to stay as is for years to come.

I never liked instanced content a la WoW. It doesn't make the world alive, it actual makes the world dead and turns it into a lobby to just shot the breeze in. There is no motivation to explore. Adventures explore. In all Final Fantasies you explore and find hidden bosses and content, it isn't spoon feed to you like in this game. Where are all the fun stuff? CT is boring and I almost always fall asleep to it. Coil is fun but done fast and then there is nothing left to do.

Keep in mind some of your examples came out over *years* of time.. we had Sky at NA launch and Sea followed what 2 years after that??

Producer letter mentions that 2.1 will continue the main scenario, I'm looking forward to it. ^^
