Please do not make group quest open world areas.

This forum never ceases to amaze me...

Yoshi! We want more fights with actual mechanics! Enough of this Tank and Spank!
*Steps of Faith*
Yoshi! People can't learn mechanics! Please nerf, we want tank and spank!

Yoshi! the open world is so boring! Give us a reason to actually explore with our friends, give us a sense of danger!

Yoshi! I play games to relax and only have ten minutes to play, ain't nobody got time for grouping up in an MMO! Please nerf before it's even out, and before we even know how challenging the mobs will be! Nerf the everything!

It's just like the Sonic the Hedgehog fanbase, no matter what they do with the games at this point, people will always complain.

This is about the biggest threat walking around Eorzea at the moment...dem toads...

We're on a floating continent, fighting an army of dragons, I've got a bow and arrow, none of this makes sense.

There are bears in Dravania. And wild Chocobos, very dangerous. They can run faster to you than you can shoot to them ^^

Whoa whoa whoa... watch where you are pointing those accusations. I just checked google, and there are no "Thancred the Hedgehog" drawings yet. So I say we are at least a few steps above THAT crowd.

On the other hand, "Lilith the Hedgehog" seems quite popular. Hmm...

What yeah sayers expect: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwT4Wicuy58 (the fight with the Dodos, because Yoshida said the difficulty start with 2-3 enemies at once)
What nay sayers expect: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyoMaeV9hG4 (the enemy at the end, because they seem to fear that they need a party just for killing anything)

It's almost like there's hundreds of thousands of people, all with differing opinions, choosing not to voice them on this forum until they're unhappy with something. Come, let us be boggled by this ludicrous possibility together.

I'm... sort of in-between atm. I don't mind mobs being tougher than they have been so far. It's true that getting into the beastmen strongholds to do various things (maps, hunt mobs, beast tribe quests, etc) is more of an annoyance than a danger -- even back when I wasn't wearing gear more than twice their level.

But I don't want it to go too far either, so it really becomes a must to party up to get through because mobs are both tough AND closely interspaced, so when you run you get seen by more mobs, and by the time you've lost aggro on all mobs you're back where you started.

The fact that a well-geared level 60 BLM (Yoshida's lalafell -- its hp/mp kinda says 'well-geared' to me) was saying that two level 53 chocobos were too tough to aggro makes me a little worried, but I'm hoping he was just exaggerating to avoid entering combat mode and revealing too much about the new spells. Sure, he could have picked higher-levelled mobs, but then he wouldn't have gotten to show off the enemy chocobos at the same time. Two birds (if you'll pardon the pun) with one stone.

So for now, I'm staying neutral and make up my mind on it once we get to those zones ^^

Ugh, thanks for letting me know that's a thing. Here I was letting my childhood die in peace, and now you make me look up images of bad fanart... Sometimes ignorance is bliss.

If I remember right the mobs were lower 50's. Should only be any manner of problem for the first few levels at best. Not like people may not be able to level up elsewhere to avoid much of the complications they may pose. Sure, depending on how and where level cap is unlocked you may have to find your way around them or otherwise manage to defeat them in the short term....but eventually they WILL become more manageable simply through the process of leveling up.

Nothing new...everyone can run into that delimma now. The difficulty of all existing content is relative to your current level. Level 45 job quest may be a real challenge at your gear level when you unlock it but may be a cakewalk if you ding 46 and slap on a few better pieces. The same will apply at level 55, 60, 65, etc. until they stop raising the caps and introducing content appropriate to that new cap.

This won't be the only time they raise the caps BTW...beginning to wonder if that has dawned on some of these naysayers. Just like how you can run around in your PJ's for most of FFXI now, you may find the same thing here one day.
