Open world content...

[Limonconcon]

Well as we can all see it looks like the open world content will not be a big part of the game, The last interview also reflected the grinding and camping not been a part of the game eighter... Quest and story line taking the big part of the character's progress... and everything surrounding instances.... Hmmmm everything sounds so much like WOW (12 million players and 11,999,951 stayed in the city since lvl 10) in wow u can stayed in one spot all your characters life and still have the best gear and cap lvl..... lets not become that shit...
I want Open world content, giant dragons, HNMs fights where everyone can see ur LS ability and organization...
Instances are great but not everything should be on them... Its ok to have some lag and noob LS trying to make it hard for you... Its also ok to wish that the LS losses and the HNM can be reclaimed, and its even better to walk around with the gear this hard ass HNMs drop!!!
Also evolving my character around the story line and quest will take the socializing part of the game out... the fun of grinding and camping for mobs... the making friends while you fight...
And I still dnt get how will I lvl other jobs? am I gonna have to re-do the story line and quests over and over for each job I want to lvl????
I think Yoshi always talks about the 3 pillars on the game and how balance they have to be... and I agree 100%
But i think he is forgetting about the 3 community pilars also...
Harcore - midgamers - casuals
You can have one without the other.... and they all have to be happy...
hardcores will keep the game going on the long run and the other players hyped with the gear they have.
midgamers will be the ones helping the casuals out and letting them join in the content they missing players for...
Casuals are casuals... bring extra money for SE, help complete the midgamers events and play until they get bored...or until another MMO comes out...
I dnt think the game its aiming for the hardcore players at all... they focusing on casuals and low midgamers... which will last until another exciting with marketing mmo comes out...
Im disappointed with what I have seen, hopefully Im wrong... I been a FF fan for more then I can think of, and Im really looking for this to succeed.

Ow, my eyes.

I don't think we know enough about 2.0 to pass judgement either way at this point.

Actually, the players want more instanced. They've wanted it since 2011's polls. Also stop posting your old threads. We get it, you're against instanced content of any kind.

As I stated in another thread:

The devs have stated that there will be more open-world content and it's not like they're re-doing the maps just to look pretty. They'll fill those maps with things to do, instanced or not. However that being said, it does seem like a lot of the content is shifting to instanced despite the loud "discussions" in opposition. The community has spoken at length about this many times and still the devs are doing mostly what they want to and what they feel is right for the game. If instanced content really kills the game for you then perhaps FFXIV is not for you, even in 2.0. I would suggest people take the time to consider how much this all really matters to them and evaluate their choice to keep playing.

Also who do you really think you are that you would question the Producer of the game with such tenacity? We all may not agree with every decision he makes and on occasion we have had things changed, however it is ultimately his game to lead as he sees fit. It is for us to voice our opinion and then decide if the game he is making is the one we want to play.

However, Raldo, preemptive criticism might alert the developers about the feelings and wants of the community before it is too late. Even if it turns out that we're jumping the gun without reason.

BTW, good to see you here! ^^

I'm all for this, more people who speak up about it the better! I'll link all my open world threads here, just give them a like, no need to bump or anything.

There is probably more that would fit in open world stuff but I think this is good enough, for now.

Forgot the biggest one!

i agree with you limon, but more and more this game is moving away from what drew me to the game. i'm not interested in some lobby game.
