Rokien's new thread on Hamlet Defense

[Arcell]

So sad, instances are the future of FFXIV. You should probably quit now Rokien, you won't like it even in 2.0.

Find a game that does crazy open-world stuff, I hear Archeage has some pretty cool stuff like that. I mean you can even build huge boats out in the open world.

In all seriousness though, the devs are going to do what they feel best. It will be very rare that we change their mind on something, often as the result of a unanimous backlash. You should find a game that you like for what it is, there's so much you want to change about FFXIV that it doesn't seem like this game is one you will like in the end.

That's what's so funny though, is you have the games like ArcheAge and Guild Wars 2 which are "all the rage" at the moment. And there isn't so much emphasis on instances in those games. It's more about the open world and, on one hand, dynamic events, and on the other being able to effect the world.

And Yoshi was brought into change FFXIV into a "next gen" game but looked at the wrong Guild Wars for inspiration. He looked at Guild Wars 1 by mistake.

It won't be all Instanced, if you read the PDF's you'll see there's quite a number of non-Instanced content, balanced with Instanced content... E3 will answer alot of our problems and concerns I'm sure

I don't know, was this something told to us by SE, or something the players on the forums made up. I think the latter

Oh right... ummmm /wink /wink Yeah FFXIV is going to be all Instanced content!! >.< Nuuuuuuuuu

I'm a little baffled about instanced hamlet defense and the 8 man pt's as I was thinking this would be something in the openworld you would go do when you didn't feel like building a party. However server limitations probably won't allow it to go smoothly and if pick up groups form at the hamlet easily I am all for it. Now we just need a little dot by our name visually showing that we are seeking ^^

[Pyretta_Blaze]

I cannot find the link either, but I could of sworn... I know I was certainly under the impression that it fell under openworld content.

And I try to be so careful separating in my head what was said by SE vs "the community". Honestly we "the community" get carried away theorizing sometimes and it gets referred to as fact.
