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

[Runespider]

I played the beta, it IS a clone. No two ways about it. lol

Is that supposed to be a bad thing, you know how many people pay blizzard to play WoW?

I like the idea OP suggested but ultimately you have to keep in mind any additions have to keep to the lore of the game, opening a "Gym" into FFXI won't work. They will never do that, maybe something similar reworked to keep with the world but they won't add a gym.

Not saying it's not a good idea, just that if you suggest something it has to be keeping with the "world". Can't have a gym anymore than you can have a cinema or fast food restaurant in FFXI.

1.) Earned nothing forthemselves simply standing on the shoulders of others.
2.) Dooming themselves to obscurity from the start like so many others.

So yes, a bad thing. You know now may people aren't going to play "just another WoW" because they already play WoW?

Actually, if you remember your mercenary ranks in ToAU they do have training and drills, we just somehow managed to bypass it. Windhurst has mages in school and casting on crash test dummies. Campaign references the need for weapons and supplies in their Ops. The CS for Balista even discuss the need to implement it for adventurers to hone their skills. Combat training clearly does exist, we simply manage to bypass it.

Don't have to actually call it a gym. I think the OP was puttin the basic idea forward. And added alot of detail on how it could work. It could just as easily be a ducal guard boot camp in Jeuno...or mercenary training grounds in Whitegate.

Umm, i guess that's kinda what ya said....responded to the wrong post....lol

Yep, I wouldn't care what name they came up with, so long as it fulfills the same need ^^/ If this type of area gets implemented, it could be called "Pig Pins of Vana'diel" and Folks wouldn't care so long as they get to have fun lol
