"Open Style" vs "Rigid Structure" what do you want for the future of FFXIV

[bojangles]

I find it ironic that many of the peeps who advocate an "Open System where I decide what role I want to play and I decide how I want to play" continually rip the peeps who say they want a "Rigid System where I play a designated role in a party".

Think about what you are saying there. Yes it is truly open so you can play riged if that is how you choose to play. The reason people are giving others a hard time for choosing the rigid style of play is that it is already there but to see it you just need to use your *rainbow hands* imagination a little.

Wouldn't a truly Open System allow everyone to play the style they want? One person can play sandbox mode and another person can play a specific job/role in a party.

FF14 does this now. bar controls. I never played FF11 so my opinion is valid on the basis of how this game was SUPPOSED to be perceived by the general public. This game is truly unique and while FF11 may have been a great game it has marred your perception of its (FF14s) true potential

Please don't take me tearing into your post as a personal insult, I am using it to make example of my own points.
