Yup.. right now the open world feels so empty its really sad. Recently in an interview with gamerscape one of them asks Yoshida if there are any plans to make open world endgame content. Yoshida replied that we are not trying to make another FFXI.

After reading through that I was like... WTF... ok everybody knows this is not FFXI but SE should try to make endgame content that is focused on the open world. There are many good mmos out there like GW2 or ESO that focuses heavily on the open world... SE can easily borrow ideas from those games. The entire endgame of FFXIV from ARR to Stormblood focuses only on instanced content. What is the purpose of making such huge wide beautiful zones if they are not going to utilize it for endgame?
