Open world content...

[AlexNiculaie]

Felis, you're wasting your breath. The people who scream"this is becoming a lobby based game!" aren't wanting rational discourse. They're a bunch of Chicken Littles who hear the word "instanced" and suddenly the entire game magically transforms into solely that format. You can throw out all facts and logical arguments, but they will either latch on to the one minor statement and snark on it to seem less important, or begin lists of maybe's that aren't backed up by evidence, all to validate their notion that an acorn is indeed the sky.

There s nothing that has genuinely been presented to us which indicates that 2.0 will become a lobby, or anything close to it. Let Chicken Little and Friends flail. Eventually, they'll either exhaust themselves out and realize they were overreacting, or just leave and plague some other community with their histrionics.

Base upon the already given description of the game... we are assuming that a lot of the game's content will be put on instances, but the once that look like WOW instances and not LIMBUS kind of instances... While Im not against having a lot of instances in the game which it will mean more content and stuff to do... I do want to see and give my small opinion which it may be heard of an open world with content in it... It may be announce on the near future, but I haven't heard it and it's driving me nuts...

For those who dnt know what limbus was... It was an instance with the purpose of collecting , materials for AF+1 gear, once the instance was defeatead with the different objectives a chip was rewarded, after collecting all chips you had access to one of the 2 main bosses Omega and Ultima... dropping the nashira and homam sets... Also beastmen coins where drop all along the instance which they were currency to purchase diffente items... one of the most important and common items was the loquacious earring for mages. :-( so much nice memories....
Who doesnt remember the lines after the instance to receive the coins
The instance was only accesible once every 3 days.
One character was able to get in the ins

My goodness! There are still rational, sane people on the forums. Good post.

Not to be blunt but pretty much everytime Yoshida tells us something new about the game or releases content it ends up in a instanced event.

So I don't get where you don't see where the concern is coming from. All we have to go on for hopes of open world content is they don't want to waste the effort of making new maps. But with comments like exp-parties "Not going to work" in 2.0 I find it even hard to guess what the point of the open world will be besides farming.

Well at least I'll be able to jump in the open world. You know when I'm not busy idling in town waiting for my next raid warp.

I remember when the game first came out and it failed badly a lot of the jp players on 2ch were complaining how it was nothing like wow and they were expecting the game to be very similar to wow, they were making a huge deal about it..and they all quit xiv and went to some wow server. I wonder if that has anything with him trying to turn this into another wow at least that is how it is looking so far anyway

I agree with you on what yoshi is doing, really is a shame. I am sick of everything coming out as an instance, and if this is what 2.0 will bring Im pretty sure a lot of the player base will be exiting post haste. SE and the DEV's screwed up FFXI with what they did and it looks like they will do the exact same thing with FFXIV. It seems SE and the DEV's will never learn.
