FFXIV dungeons are a little bit too linear?

[Eimian_Eda]

I don't know why people keep cherrypicking very specific examples from WoW. The vast majority of WoW's dungeons are just as linear as FFXIV's, Blizzard has just gotten better at hiding how straightforward they are

Giving the player the illusion of choice, is better than not even trying. (Don't forget that even though WoW also has linear dungeons, there are enough tricks/areas that you can explore around to do the dungeon different, or even ignore trash mobs entirely.. something you can't do in FF14.)

But alas, we will continue to get lazy, themepark designs, because this game's playerbase seems to like lazy, themepark designs.
Bare minimum work for bare minimum play.

They could reduce the GCD while they're at it, just makes things needlessly extended.
