Now bear with me, but I basically wanted to ask the community something, to FFXI players, non-FFXI and current XIV players:

To FFXI players, d'ya remember open dungeons that you could zone into? Like Garlaige Citadel or Gusgen mines? Or higher level ones like Boyahdah Tree and Gustav Tunnel? Fighting monsters in these zones always felt special and much more dangerous. Especially when soloing.

To those of you whom didn't play FFXI, the dungeons in FFXI were accessible at any time and there was no time limit. You just zoned in as if it were any other area. To me it gave me a very "adventurous" feeling.

I absolutely love the dungeons as they are, but I'd love to be able to stroll through areas like this without only seeing them during DF or for 90 minutes.

So, the question I ask is, what's your take on "open dungeons" and "closed dungeons" like the ones that exist in FFXIV as of now, and if so, would you perhaps like to see open dungeons in FFXIV?
