My heart just fell totally...

How about this, you ask for the option to exclude yourself from Cross Server dungeons. Problem solved.

Don't give up on them just yet, Preypacer!

Most often the final product is not as advertised. Often times developers can use pretty strong language just for the purpose of enticing a certain demographic. Consequences are sometimes it can repel other groups of players.

Like in my case, one of my favorite aspects of FF is grinding exp with a party at various camps through-out the world. (With high exp aspirations to meet, for that true feeling of accomplishment from a level up..) A lot of their announcements tear my preference apart. I can't possibly pass judgement until the final product is delivered though.

I will be really shocked if they actually remove exploration and the open-world feel from the game; it sounds to me like they are just adding in a lot of activities on top of the already vast world. So proceed with caution, yet, proceed nonetheless!
