The thing that has bothered me the most about this game is its descision to make all party content instanced content.

All of the instanced content has a timer, whcih makes sense from a logistical viewpoint, but has negative effect on party dynamics; the timer increaseses stress which makes people less tolerrant of new, or inexperienced players.

I miss open world hunting parties and other open world activities found in many other MMORpgs.

I do not feel nearly as connected to the world as I have in other MMOs.

Its been said the Adventure is not in the destination, it is in the Journey.

FFXIV focuses heavily on the destination, while neglecting the journey.

It has been my hope that there will be an increase in Open world content, if the game continues with the emphasis on intstanced content I will be too bored to justify pay the monthly fee.

The game in its current form feels less like an MMoRpg, and more like White Knight Chronicles, which did not have a monthly fee.
