I had a dream last night that FF14 introduced submarines where you can do missions with friends. Obviously this won't happen and it's probably because of all those space sims I've been playing. I think the battle mechanics of this game are too skewed towards WoW-like content so it can't stray too far from it. I haven't played WoW except for one day when it came out and didn't like it. But I think that whatever good open world content WoW has might be adaptable to this game. They would have to radically change the design of the game I think unless they manage to come up with something entirely new and enjoyable. Maybe lore related secret locations would be nice. I've seen videos of 1.0 having this. Maybe some locations could have enemy guards / traps that are over level 100 making it very hard or impossible to get to, so it just seems like a legend of what lies beyond.
