/shrug. FFXIV has never specialized in open world content, it's more of a structured instance game. Even when they do add pseudo open world content like Eureka it just ends up as another activity in the flavor of the month wheel that gets dumped after a couple of months. There are other games that do specialize in it but you'll find that they're lacking in other areas. (i.e GW2) At some point you have to admit that this game just isn't that.
