We need more open world content!

[Nadrojj]

Give us open world notorious monsters. Hell put them in fates if you want them accessible to everyone. Make it so you have to get gold to receive the item they drop, or even better make items rare and cost seals. I mean tons of people have seals just sitting and rotting on them, why not give us something to use them on besides housing?

I'd like to see open world nms/fates that correspond with seasons. Four seasons, four world boss fates. Each one runs three months. Each boss has their own seals that you can farm. Make each item something like 50k seals so there is actual work to get the desired item instead of doing a fate once and getting the item (see lightning fates). Make them on par with items that drop from instances, this will get people out farming seals and participating in fates/open world content. Heck make it so if you get gold you get some sort of reward like a medium amount of gil (10k) or a vanity item or even a housing item! There is so much they can do with this game but instead they decide to hide items in instances (coil gear) farm same instances over and over for items (myth). There is no excitement, there is no desire to go out and kill bosses and have your heart jump out of your chest when you see a rare item drop in the loot pool.

Give us smaller nm's that drop items that are a step above items available at that level. All of the Notorious Monsters they had in 11 offered items that were a little bit better than gear available at that level, you didn't absolutely need that item but if you wanted put in hard work to get something you thought was great then you were rewarded. There is nothing worth holding onto in this game. Everything is replaced every few levels. When I got my leaping boots on my on level 25 theif I kept them for 7 years, every low level job that could wear them wore them while leveling up. It was a piece of gear I was proud of, especially when they went from leaping boots to bounding boots. Newer people would ask me about leaping boots and I'd gladly tell them how I camped for days to get the boots, and I wore them with pride. Now I just wear something a few levels turn it into a useless piece of materia (wheeee another earth materia) and equip the next item for a few levels to repeat the process.
