Minor element, FFXI had a lot of instanced content, BCNMs KSNMs ENMs and whatever else there was even Sea was instanced, sky and HNMs was pretty much the only thing in FFXI that wasn't instanced as far as end game content goes, oh wait they did have some other things I didn't mention but it was a zone based game and in a sense that is instanced content with open world enviroments and factors. Personally I had a blast in the two new instances and that is just the tip of the iceberg of content they will be adding. Which I can understand to some extent why you don't want instanced content fully but on the other hand I cannot see what there is not to like, assuming all the instanced content isn't going to be purely dungeons. Perhaps we will get BCNM battles and stuff like that along with the Primal battles and what not.
Also, instanced doesn't mean "dungeon" type of content. The NM/HNM can be instances outside in the open world like leves are right now. Plus he said heavily instanced but there will still be some other non-instanced content if they feel it is appropriate.
