Will we ever going to see (Besieged FFXI) battles in FFXIV?

Hello,

I did my first Windurst: The Third Walk yesterday, during the second phase we teleported to Al-Zahbi -Area back in FFXI then Besieged music started playing, I recalled so many good memories there.

Will we ever see similar fights to Besieged into FFXIV style... The city is being under attack by beasts, kidnapping generals affecting the buff system, seeing the monsters advancing toward the city, their strength level and more....

We really need that type of actions into FFXIV

There are already overworld FATEs that are essentially like this. I would not expect to see this sort of thing in this game in actual city zones though. They only did anything like that in legacy because at that point they already made the decision to kill the game off.

The "feel" of FFXI's world is way different from FFXIV. In that game the beast tribes are a lot more realistic in terms of being stand-offish and aggressive towards the non-beast tribes. FFXIV had a bit of the skeleton of FFXI with the beast tribes early on, but that kind of changed when everything went "lets all hold hands and get along magically". I don't think we'll get beseiged in FFXIV because that would require an organized front from one faction attacking another organized faction. It's like two snakes coiling around hissing and nipping at each other (FFXIV) vs two elephants smashing through and tussling together (FFXI) if that makes sense.

I would like something like besieged from ff11 to be implemented into ff14.

Those weird, spooky things they showed in the Evercold trailer I'd think be cool for a besiege.

If we go down to the land below. There could basically be white walkers that attack every so often.

Considering they want to do more open world content, this would fit like a glove.

The add phase siege is fantastic and I hope we can someday get a similar event in a city-hub in XIV.
