I hope there's a good mix of instanced and open world content. Some content is better instanced and some is better open world, completely going one way or the other is a silly idea. Salvage was probably my favourite XI event and that was instanced, but then Abyssea was completely open world and I loved that too. You could also have a mix like Voidwatch too, where you can see other people fighting a giant monster but can't help them at all if they popped it.

I really hope they add more pop NMs to XIV, and more NMs in general. I was playing XI a few days ago and I was surprised by how many NMs I found whilst just wondering around.
