Adventure Time!~

[Rokien]

So when 2.0 rolls out, who wants an adventure? A journey? Something that is refreshing!

I know I do!
I want a world, that wows me every time I see it. Even if it's a simple tree I wanna be amazed by it's beauty!

I want an adventure every time I set foot outside. Whether an npc needs help with something or a level 80 mob is chasing me(or 50 level 1 mice lol)!

I want a world that the players have to figure out and help one another. I want puzzles, random events(like that npc asking for help), I want a living breathing world!

With this living breathing world, I want season just like ours. Some mobs go away(hibernate or sleep for bed time) while others come out . Trees go dormant then bloom. I want a night that is NIGHT, where you can be surprised by anything~!

I also want a food chain, where animals eat each other(attack), or animals eat berries off of trees.

<can I have it?><do you want it?>

1 problem I can forsee...

"stupid goat! stop eating the sheep which I am levelling on"

"excuse me, Goat, I am trying to harvest these berries, can you go feed on other trees?l

Goats eating sheep... madness!

I want to be surprised and to have that magical feeling.

Though I don't think a goat will eat a sheep lol

They don't have to be harvest points either

i think you want to have an immersive experience and are just providing examples.

Right off the start, I want to be thrown into a battlefield facing the common enemy that is threatening Eorzea. I want to have a feeling of crisis and face paced but tight knit storyline, something like Uncharted but which requires team work with other players.

I would love this. I seem to recall this was one of the original goals, I think it may be possible somewhere down the line but unfortunately the focus is more on having things for players to do then rounding out the immersion factor. I will say that after having played SWTOR for the last few months and other things, I've missed the atmosphere of FFXIV. While it's not where FFXI was in terms of immersion it's worlds better then the other options out there for this one thing.

To answer your question yes I want adventure, but mostly I want a living breathing world where we can have a country house, raise chocobos and help out other players as merchants/crafters and not just taking spots on raids. I'd like the world of Eorzea to achieve the dream that an MMO isn't just a game but a virtual place where we can live out our pixel lives.

I think the story is still one of the best out there right now too, so I have no complaints on that front either. ^.^

I think some of the environmental ideas would make nice additions... like seasons and seasonal monsters, or having more of an ecosystem.

A little more danger might also be nice. I actually miss the Peiste that would sometimes hang out in front of the gate to Ul'dah, or the Ogre that lurked west of Camp Horizon, or even the Antlings that would sometimes attack people on their way to Camp Drybone. I was one-shotted by them too, but it was kind of fun in hindsight.

I want a world that the players have to figure out and help one another.

This is probably one of the biggest problems facing any game or content developer now.

Be it wanting to get recognition, help others, have that "me too" as soon as possible, or whatever... one of the first things many people do these days is share strategies, and look for how to beat new content before really trying to figure it out themselves.

We could probably enjoy things a lot longer if we turned off "easy mode" ourselves by not going to forums, YouTube, and Google for all the locations, strategies and guides first.
