Campaign

[Exn]

I'd love to see a form of Campaign (one of my fav's from XI). I thought though, that originally Hamlet was supposed to be like an open-world campaign, until 1.0's crappy server structure forced them to create that instanced nightmare that we got. But, didn't they say Hamlet is being reworked into something more open world and campaign like for 2.0? At least I thought I read that somewhere.. coulda just been wishful thinking on my part though..

In XI, the idea of campain worked, cause ti was done during the war, so it was understanded that they'll fight for the controll of outposts and in XIV we'll be during "peace" time wich would make no sence. Now, if in the fute, 3-5 years from now, they wanna do an expantion where we go abck to fight during the war of the end of the 7th umbra era that would be awesome, go abck and fight in the cities and the camps, like the final days.
But going back to campain, i could see it been done for PvP, that at a sertain hour of the day have the free companies go in a free for all for the controll ofthe outpost, and at the end everyone gains XP depending on ttheir participation. And as a result the free company that gets more points will get the controll of the camp till the next event.

It still fits.

Hamlet is against Beastmen and they aren't totally removing it. So fighting against them isn't out of the question.
Also beastmen are never at complete "peace" with the nations in FF lore (aside from a couple of tribes from time to time)

Also, the present day/normal XI still had "region control" and was technically during a peace time. Well at least as peaceful as that game got.

If there was world peace, we would have no reason to fight / level up / kill stuff.

Yeah that came up somewhere, at some point.. Forget when/where. I am sure whatever they do will be an improvement, as Hamlet was terrible.
