My problem with FF 14

[Jeeqbit]

There is like a rotation of 10 fates, maybe a world boss and like 2 of those 2 fates are a chain. Then there is nodes for crafting that work exactly the same as they always have

Then there is………..nothing

They added hunts, treasure maps and sightseeing logs for this reason in ARR and continued this in expansions. And they are used for hunts and maps regularly.

Why do we even have an open world if it’s nothing but a pretty backdrop for an MSQ that barely uses a 10th of it

Sidequests usually cover the rest of the map.
