Because King Behemoth is too cool to use spell check! :P

Could just remove player collision entirely in safe zones.

Now all we need is an innate +25% movement increase in towns so we can get out quicker.

You're studying Vana'diel law in your spare time, aren't you?

We do not have plans to completely remove PC collision. The Development Team explained that this system was implemented from the beginning of FINAL FANTASY XI in order to amplify the existence of other users. Removing this function will make other characters feel like they're just another part of the background as you can run through them like air or brush.

Other users? I've been playing with real, live people this whole time? Oh crap...

Seriously though I can say that PC collision being removed wouldn't bother me or make me feel any less connected to the game or my fellow players. Vana'diel is a very rich and immersive game world, but it is just that... a game world. I can fully accept unrealistic concepts such as walking through other characters and still enjoy the game as a "living" world and still appreciate the existence and weight of my fellow players as people just like me.
