Open World / Hamlets / Campaign

Yay, a suggestion I could get behind.

Though to be fair, FATEs are very similar to the combat aspect of Hamlet defense (and were the replacement) and Supply and Provisioning for the GCs is the replacement for the non-combat phase of Hamlet defense.

Not saying the suggestion should be ignored, but just pointing out that the mechanics involved in Hamlet defense were simply rolled into other events.

I wanna chime in here. Adding new horizontal content like this thread suggest is a great idea, but really we need to add in ideas of how SE can add meaningful incentives to this content.

If they add tomes, then people will just go back to the roulette.

Do you forget new Diadem? That is new large scale cooperaion instance.

Well they should add tomes, they should put tomes in pretty much everything so people have the most possible options to earn them. But yes, they should add other content specific rewards to it.

Yeah I totally support this idea. I'm okay with tomes if they insist..just give us lots of different types of content to obtain them in ^^

I loved campaign in FFXI...i think it would work here well. I would also like to see Besieged that was a lot fun and it would help with the community!

The Monsters in campaign where fun to fight and it was nice because people where working together also made a nice change from scripted fights which is now becoming a bore >.< I like PVP shatter because it is different each time...would be nice to beat a few mobs up and get some teamwork going.

I love FFXIV but it has one of the most boring and lifeless game worlds I have ever seen. It doesn't feel like a real place. There is no sense of adventure or danger. Everything is so scripted and controlled, nothing unexpected ever happens. If I go from one end of the world to the other nothing of any real interest will happen. The game excels at instanced content but it's open world is seriously lacking in meaningful content and rewarding exploration. It's always been my biggest complaint but Square just isn't interested in making a world we care about. FFXIV is about boss fights and nothing more.

I think our beast tribes should form packs and attack our city walls instead of summoning their little gods.

I'm all for more open world content, also a fleshed out Hamlet Defense would be superb. Combining the efforts of battle and non-battle classes is something I've not really seen elsewhere. You had to have an actual strategy and think about how you went about the battle in order to win. Going for overt force would get you destroyed.

I'm just hoping that with the addition of water travel we can explore a bit more.

Or Ifrit Savage could attack Ul'duh... just saying.
