Much was clarified last night. Some of it completely new, and unexpected. There was not a hint of inference of having randomized loot (even to the point of randomized appearance) until last night. And there is still unanswered questions when it comes to participation. (Are FC trips restricted to ONLY FC or does a FC merely have to host it? Does a party or group need to consist of a preset 8 man group or full alliance or can the participation be jagged? Are the instances of these islands randomly assigned or can fellow friends/FC members join in as reinforcements?)
IIRC Yoshida said in a previous interview that they'll be open groups.
