Open world changes?

[Enkidoh]

There's also the pirate encampment (Poor Maid's Mill) in Upper La Noscea which comes under attack by kobolds (and eventually, a giant couerl), and winning the FATE chain unlocks a qiqirn merchant temporarily that also sells a minion, which is like the aformentioned bandit camp in the Black Shroud and the attack on the bridge in Thanalan. All are FATE chains that are a continuing series of FATEs with branching results based on whether a FATE is failed or completed.

* Adjust EXP
- Make it so grinding overworld mobs could be a viable method of leveling. Doesn't have to go overboard to invalidate everything else, but would be nice.

This is not going to happen I'm sorry to say as Yoshi specifically designed the game deliberately to avoid this. He doesn't want players farming trash mobs out on the overworld over and over again in FFXI-style EXP parties. Instead, he wanted to move players over to what he termed "content based EXP", that is, EXP gained through completing content or events such as quests, FATEs and dungeons (he stated this way back during the Beta test when players actually requested that very idea of EXP parties).

Basically, the days of 'Dooms parties' like FFXI are gone and are never coming back here (the closest you can get to that is forming EXP parties to run Palace of the Dead or Eureka, but again that's special content and not available for the regular overworld).
