I don't feel like i'm playing an mmo...and I know why

I can understand this. I just figured that the quests they introduced where literally “ I need you to teleport halfway (or completely) to the other side of the continent to get this one item then bring it back to me so I can tell you to go to another place.” Personally I believe that Square is doing this as a way to drain more money from the economy. Its not much, but when you figure in all of the players that are teleporting, it’s a pretty significant number. (Could also just be time for a tin foil hat, but who knows).

Haha yea…that’s basically most of my quests at the moment!

Because one of the M's is missing from this game.

Massive :P

To me it's the fact that the game exists of zones rather than one huge open world. Everything feels instanced. If you enter a city you get a loading screen and you are isolated from the world. Every zone in the world is isolated in fact. Even inside the cities there are different zones with a loading screen that, for me at least, take away from the immersion. That having been said, I still enjoy the game and will continue to play it for quite a while. But having the isolated zones replaced with open, larger zones would make me even happier.

Oh man, would I love to see Square Enix transition at one point in time to just a huge fricking world – no instanced “zones” but keeping the instanced “dungeons” – that would be awesome.

FFXIV is an MORPG

Yea... basically how I feel. Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game. It's got mostly a RPG style element to it, but you can group up with others online to do some content. Is it massive? I don't think so. It feels like I'm zone hopping. If only real world was like this? Teleport to work... teleport to eat... teleport to...yea..you get the point :P That would be awesome.

By the way, I like teleporting. I just feel like Teleporting + huge open world is a trillion times better than teleporting to a corridor like instanced mini map.
