"Future content will be heavily instanced" ...not sure i like it...

[Perrin_Aybarra]

You have no grounding to back up the fact that 'heavily instanced' doesn't mean specifically dungeons and raids, and considering that's the vast majority of what we're getting content-wise in 1.19, 1.20 and 1.21 I think it's justified to say otherwise.

I don't think the debate has to stop, it's very worthwhile for the dev team to see all opinions on the matter, so could people please stop talking as if their side is superior and trying to shut everyone else down?

I am not saying I have the absolute truth, but people here reads too much into it and jump to premature conclusions. And let's look at the game in it's current state when it comes to instanced content.

What is instanced in FFXIV:

Some Quests
Story Missions
Class specific quests
Leves
Faction NM
Behest
Dungeons

All the is that is non instanced is NMs and some quests.

Now here is the quote in its entirety from Yoshi:

Also, instances will become more prevalent in future content. The concept of having to claim opponents to prevent being disturbed by other players becomes less and less relevant, so we decided that claiming is unnecessary.

He said that to back up his claiming system changes. Since most of the events that matters are instanced, claiming rights lose weight in the big picture of things when you consider everything that is currently instanced and since most things are instanced and will continue to be so, this is why instanced =/= dungeons.

yes in the tables we see more dungeons, of course we see more dungeons they need to put more of them. 2 dungeons is a joke. Things like caravan escort, primal fights, addional company quests/missions, additonal story quests/missions, additional quests, all these things will most likely be instanced. Are they exclusively dungeons? no. get a clue.

Before trying to say I (and others) pull these things out of thin air, maybe you should stop and think about it before posting.

Edit: so yeah, I maintain my position about heavily instanced game =/= exclusively dungeons while it does include them in the statement. Until a rep comes in and say: "sorry guys, FFXIV will be dungeons only with cities acting as hubs" then your, and so many other people, reaction is unbased.
