exploring sucks in ffxi

I really disagree with the title of this thread, and its content!

I have to agree with tc. You run waaaay to slow in the game it's like watching paint dry at times. They did this on purpose though just to add an additinal time sync mechanic in the game. They should at least speed up our movement speed to the speed that you move in XIV.

the only thing I agree with speed being too slow is in terms of relation between game time and game space. If you look at the game clock it takes you two minutes to talk through your whole mog house... that's a bit too much. But I don't think anything can be done to fix it to a right proportion. either we'd move too fast or game time would run too slowly.

It's also how I found a mob tablet and subsequently a kupofrieds ring :D

I have BRD and SMN too now, walking is a dirty word.

Forget walking, I want to be riding my Chocobo at all times, In the cities, in Abyssea, in Sky, Sea and to the crapper.

I bet your chocobo would love you for tht Miera!
The more I read in here the more I am convinced people are missing 2/3rds of the game if not more.
My gosh all the things you miss seeing when you aren't looking for a safe path to get to jeuno from windy or running through pashhow without a map at level 20 or dying in jugnar heading to jeuno from sandy.
Did you ever stop to smell the flowers in the glacier area? Swat the huge dandilion puffs in la theine? Park under the waterfalls in miserouix?
Time to slow down and smell the flowers and see what is in the game you are missing.
and i sure wish there was a spell check with ffxi names in here. :D

U suck at exploring in FFXI. Every once in a while I will look up and see the world around me. If I'm lucky, there's a rainbow in La Thiene I always want to catch being there.

One of FFXI's best attributes is the environment.

lol my Chocobo never liked me to began with since I basically neglected him xD

I loved randomly coming to La Theine and seeing a Rainbow then I would shout "A Summoner was just born." ;D
