FFXIV dungeons are a little bit too linear?

[hellmach]

Even if you were to compare MMORPG dungeons to single player RPG dungeons, you have to keep in mind that in singe player RPGs the dungeons are the meat of the gameplay, whereas in MMORPGs they are just one piece of the bigger platter of content. MMORPGs also tend to focus more on the boss challenges.

There is no "platter of content" in this game! "Raids" are one boss and that's it which may as well just be another trial compared to the the ones in WoW and other MMOs. You get 2 linear, very easy and repetitive dungeons and a primal trial every patch and a Savage mode "raid" ever other patch. At the most at this point you're paying fifteen bucks to hang out with online friends and collect glamour because outside of Savage everything else will be old hat in a week or two tops... that's it.

But what really hurts as someone who was in love with this game is how much potential it has given some of the bosses and it's graphics. This game can be so much more but it isn't and the devs refuse to take it a step further.
