The FFXI "Gyms of Vana'diel" Self Improvement Reborn!

[kingfury]

I like the "gym" idea but I would have to admit that they USED to have a very easy way to skill up and was actually not as dangerous as you would think... If people would engage in Campaign battles already in progress without getting tags you could skill up off of mobs that were busy attacking other people. And pretty fast I might add. I have a WHM I got Divine skilled very very fast. At Least .5 per every other spell cast. Then Enix took it away. I was very upset. I think they should reinstate that.... I think I only died 2 times using this form of skilling up...and with EXP so easy to get now thats not too bad really

----
Yep, seeing skill ups in Campaign was cool no doubt, but just imagine never having to leave the comfort of you're city and having access to start, stop, and engineer skill ups the way you like'em. I posted this response earlier:
"--there's the horrible "/wait till the campaign to actually start" aspect of the system that is just mind numbing at times ^^ Not to say it's impossible, but just no where near as efficient.
The concept I'm proposing has multiple enjoyable ways to both skill up and enjoy the heat of battle without forcing players to twiddle their thumbs waiting for something else to tell them when to start. That includes game systems and players alike."
----
The system I'm proposing would both directly and indirectly answer the wishes of both sides of the spectrum of folks asking for "better + more rewarding"/"increased rate" skill ups with the use of Medals. Campaign could never hope to win over a system that would reward Exp, Gil, and make skill ups enjoyable in my opinion lol.

I think this is a fantastic idea and seems really fun. I could see me and 5 of my friends sitting in windy waiting to go to the gym and work out lol. When I saw this tweet i actually thought SE released this info for their next version update. Great idea, fun, lots of rewards and great for team building in your linkshells. SE why not?

Thanks for the compliment by the way ^^/salute

Like the idea...it would add something new at least....would give players a reason to work with others again rather than just blasting to 90 and dropping the job cold turkey like most do when they abby burn.

It's a novel concept, but the OP basically devised an overly-complicated skill-up party. I never realized it was so hard to beat up crabs for a few hours.
