[Future] Use of FATE System

[Delsus]

That is all the 15 yr old engine could do, but that was 15 yrs ago, we can have multiple parties enter, but of course the difference between FFXI "instance" and FFXIV instance is huge.

FFXIV dungeon is compared to a BCNM area, not Dynamis.

Now I know you are just throwing the word engine around to look smart, the engine for a game is client side, it has nothing to do with how many instances of a dungeon there is.

The problem with FFXI is they had very limited capacity for instances, so there was only one instance of each dungeon therefore only one person could enter, in the modern day when we use separate instance servers, have huge server capacity we can have many many more, but there are still limits, try getting everyone on your data center to join the same dungeon, and watch as the game is unable to reserve the instance.

This was only true for only Dynamis, the other instances were open to who ever wanted to enter.

We are off Topic, Anyone have anything constructive to say in regards to the battle system itself?

Dynamis, Einherjar, Limbus and I believe Salvage (could be wrong on the latter), but instances like BCNMs, KSNMs and even Assault weren't (basically the ones that used very little server resources.

Yeah, its been awhile, Einherjar is only 1 group per "room", Limbus i guess wasn't considered an Instance so only 1 group per run. Salvage anyone could run at any time.
