Yoshi said that ALL dungeons will be instanced.

I imagine that they are planning to implement the dungeon finder mechanic just like so many MMOs have.

Final Fantasy XIV just doesn't need to be a duplicate of other MMOs. It was unique in the way they did things.

What they failed to do was take mechanics from the first version that worked. Specifically the party search and grouping feature. It was great.

There were a list of people looking for parties and they could put their available jobs and you could selectively pick and choose they way that you wanted to play.

With the dungeon finder from Rift, for example, you have no choice. It's completely random who you get matched with.

There is something to be said for single server group making. You get to know the people on your server or recognize their names. It builds community.

If they really go to multiple server, random dungeon finder, it's not going to build any sense of community. The last thing I want is to be randomly put in a dungeon with a bunch of role-players.

I think that they are going in the wrong direction. Its a shame that they don't listen to their player base before blazing ahead with their ideas (i.e. Yoshi-san's jump quote).
