Next FF MMO should be open-world.

[DiaDeem]

Gonna be honest: I'm kinda tired of Open World games. Everyone's like: "But you can do whatever you want" and what I want is to have a clear objective. Even in a game such as amazing as Elden Ring, by NG+ you're probably just running from major boss to major boss because what else are you gonna find? Some cave with a mini boss you'll one shot and give you a trash drop anyway. Same for BotW... exploration was really fun for a while, until you realize that at the end of every exploration journey all you'll find is yet another Shrine. And those are like two of the best modern examples of open world games. They have all these beautiful vistas and then you have to spend 5 days just getting anywhere back and forth over and over, and then there's like nothing to really find around other than crafting materials. I'm all up for removing loading zone lines, but please: Not another pointlessly gigantic open empty world...
