    Besieged

    Please consider adding besieged in the future. It was quite enjoyable in XI and I think that it would fit in quite well in the expansion. It would be fun and add more open world content other than FATEs and hunts.

    No, those are meaningless Fates for which failure has no consequence other than missing out on some XP and seals. Besieged had a lot more going for it, with NPC's being captured and needing rescue before their services could be acquired, as well as buffs added to the Sanction status such as bonus Regen and Refresh.

    It's was far more dynamic, and also a lot more fun with some of the biggest and strongest bosses in the game as well as lots of experience points to be earned and fun status bonuses for the duration. Who doesn't love downing a wizard drink and running around with double their normal MP or giving yourself a massive damage surge with a tonic or two?

    It'd be fun but holy crap will the crying be there. Besieged was nothing but a lagfest every time that I did it. Everyone and everything was rubberbanding until it ended. Given how many people do hunts because of reward benefit, just imagine the mayhem and inability to do anything when it comes to a ton of mobs and so forth lol. This sort of thing would probably have to be a capped instanced, which is technically what Besieged was anyway I guess. Given how relatively stable Frontlines is, I'd imagine it'd be stable enough in that sort of environment.

    No, besieged is what we were expecting hamlets to be; massive open-world content with several mobs and nm's, not the 8-man co-op little mess that had to be spammed literally hundreds of times (thanks RNG) for items used to open the relic weapon quest.

    It could work on Ishgard, seeing as how they've been at war with Dravania for a very long time and they're constantly under attack. Even the city seems to have some damaged areas and rubble based on the videos and screens that they've shown so far.
