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

Put skill ups in Campaign. There is your training ground right there.

lol Weelllll, on DD jobs with little support Campaign is a free-for-all bloodfest but there's still a huge percent of jobs that wouldn't be able to enjoy Campaign without getting mauled before actually seeing one point of skill up if they could /stagger lol. Plus 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.

I don't think of it as a 'waste'. This idea is actually something I can see SE implementing...illustrations and all lol. Now, do I think that it's a pipe dream? Kind of. I think one of FFXI players' chief complaints is the difficulty of skill ups and even though SE has taken a step forward in that direction, it's still difficult to cap skills past 250. Some people (such as I) would love to skill up while I'm seeking for a party. As a WAR (got only great axe capped atm), I would love to skill up my other weapons in my downtime and I think that an arena of some sort like the one presented here is a fascinating idea. More power to creativity!

Sure thing. I really hope the development team reads this thread and implements some form or another of this idea. Due to the PS2 limitations (CURSE YOU PS2!!!!!), I'm not sure how much of that they would be able to implement, if at all, but it's an awesome idea.

Same here ^^ I just wish you could attach a "tag number" with game system ideas instead of them being buried with every other post in general discussion >< lol.

My thoughts on the possible system's framework is modifying the Mog house infrastructure by enlarging the rooms and replacing what would be the moogle with a Gym Manual that would spawn into an npc or monster after a regimen is selected. There wouldn't really be a background/landscape, but just the player and the npc(s) or monster(s). I'm not sure how much of a strain that would cause if say a hundred folks or more tried to access it at the same time, but MMM's has to tax the system more than what I'm proposing, or at least I would think so lol. But hey, their the geniuses and programmers, not me ^^ I'm sure they could figure it out np. /finger's crossed

interesting idea to say the least, well thought out. /cheer ^^

I think Kingfury played too many L4D mods to get his achievments. lol

>< I don't know how to respond to this comment lol... "Left for Dead" I'm assuming? Is there a mod that has some similarities to what I'm talking about here?? I've never played L4D /stagger
