This is what I'm missing about ffxiv open world. The reason to explore. Bare minimum what makes open world such an awesome playground when done right .
Ngl, I don't remember much haha. But I think I just found myself overwhelmed at the amount of side quests and they compounded together, it didn't really feel like exploring to me, just kinda felt like I was being pushed into one sidequest into the next and it kinda burned me out fast considering how much of them there were. Ofc this is just my experience with it, never really got immersed into it so maybe that's part of it too.
