As of right now, it's no secret that this game has very little, if nothing to do in the open world. If you aren't using duty finder than the game is pretty much non-existent.

In many other game there are reason for every single mob in the game, whether it be the items they drop to craft, or having them be a barrier to the next area before you can pass...

I guess I'm just scared of seeing this beautiful world that SE created go to waste with nothing to do in it.
  • There are two mobs in the entire game that can be farmed for any real purpose.
  • There are no open world nm/hnm aside from the joke FATES of Behe and Odin.
  • Beastmen camps serve literally no purpose as of now (although im sure there will be quests there in 2.1) but even then, you can plow through them with a few AoEs or a chocobo.
  • The maps and the scenery are absolutely beautiful but there is a severe lack of content to make them worthwhile for anything less than a cool screenshot.
