Mr.Yoshi, please stop just making FFXIV "ARR" (A Realm of Raiding)

[Shan]

WOW (WORLD OF DUNGEON) formula is dying,
people got tired of endless raiding/dungeon.

pls look at:
Sword Art Online & .hack anime
TESO hype(best western RPG maker nowadays)
UO,& even some elements in FFXI,

That's what we dream for a MMORPG,for decades:a freedom,life-like,magical, fantasy virtual world,memorable adventures.

(housing, treasure hunting are good start)

[Pandastirfry]

So your examples of "what player dream for and want" are...
Niche market game .
Anime about a game that could only exist if MAGIC was real
A game who's hype is of Molyneauxian proportions
And decades old games?

Am I reading that right?

You realize the SAO formula was one huge tower dungeon, with overworld mob grinding/quests for levels?
You realize the .Hack games were random generated (based on keywords) dungeons? excepting dungeons and fields related directly to the Story.
ESO is Skyrim multiplayer.
Never played XI, but a friend swears by it. So i can't comment here.

[Vantwan]

Yeah I wouldn't wanna play an mmo where if i die in-game my brain gets microwaved.

[Zumi]

Games aren't anime so they can't make a game like an anime.

[Ghammer]

who is this "we" you keep talking about. Im enjoying the game the way it is and a lot more is to come which looks exciting

2.1 FC housing is coming soon.

All of those games/anime had big bosses that required people (players) to band together in order to defeat them...

Actually the .hack anime was shown to be more open world. The random keywords sent you to randomized fields but people ran into each other a lot, so odds are in the anime the fields were much more limited. So it would be like FFXI in which you would outpost to places like Cape Terrigan. Likewise, SOA was a giant tower but each floor was a huge area that was themed. Like the episode were they revive the pet dragon that entire floor is like a giant garden. And in other episode an area of the floor was a giant ice mountain zone. So again, it would be like each floor is an entire zone. Floor 1 being Jeuno. Floor 2 being Bub Pennisula and so on. Both animes/manga and what not gave a feeling of open worldness. Thats what I miss most about XI. Actually being able to explore deep and dangerous dungeons on my own while also coming across other people who might help me or I might help them. A sense of an actual fantasy world. Not just Im in the dungeon specifically to kill monsters. I love FFXIV, and I think its a great mixture of XI exploration and the current mainstream mmo set up. But yes, a more wide and open world would be nice. XI is still cooking, XIV could have done the same. Not saying it should have, but it could have and I would have loved it.
