FFXI Underwater fighting (Please Add Square Enix)

[Alhanelem]

the engine doesn't have any kind of system or support for volumes of water. Even if you're a tarutaru fully submerged in a pond, it doesn't affect physics or anything in any way.

No added physics or even float or swim just ground walking based gameplay.

Thought Visions of Abyssea was post to have this but i was disapointed again.

You're pronouncing Abyssea terribly wrong.

Blitzball?

MOTHER OF GOD.

MOTHER OF GOD.

I lol'd way harder than I should have at that XD.
Blitzball would be fun if they could implement it. Though honestly I doubt it will ever happen.

A few years ago in Valkurm Dunes, there used to be a glitch in the game allowing players to walk into the ocean on the far east side of Siren beach (in the trees near the Swirling Vortex) and come out in the surf area just in front of the boat, freaking out low-level parties camping there. Reinstate that to other areas and add mobs you can attack.

Would be silly and illogical unless everyone had the Iron Boots from Zelda, and it would also eliminate any appeal of being in the water.

Didn't WoW just release an expansion that involves an underwater zone? -_-
Im against this idea for one reason, however irrational it may be, i have an extreme fear of water in video games. Especially enemies underwater. (remember the giant eel in mario64?) Mostly though if they gave us a water zone we would all just have to hear about how FFXI is even more like WoW now, so no thanks.

underwater fighting? sounds interesting and different from what we already have

Ah, that explains why someone would make such an illogical suggestion.
