Increase the base run speed of characters please!!!

To the OP:

It's called Herald's Gaiters, Danzo Sune-ate, Blood Cuisses, Hermes' Sandals, Sprinters Boots, Trotters Boots, Strider Boots, Ninja Kyahan, Skadi's Jambeaux.

Less asking for easy mode, more obtaining the gear for your job that will give you movement speed. Why don't we just remove the need for weapons while we're at it by giving every job H2H, A+ skill in it and top it off with a permanent +999 attack and +200 STR?

The whole point of an MMO is to better your character, so how about we stop asking for it to be handed to us on a plate.

On an additional note, the map size in FFXI is miniscule compared to most MMOs.

I don't see how this matters in the least. We're talking giving us a movement speed boost as the standard because FFXI has always been utterly slow. That means all of the above gear would still work, otherwise there is no point in discussing this topic. You would welcome this as much as the next person, end of story.

But we won't see it unless everything got a boost. You can't have players outrunning danger easily. Then they can't die and time sink themselves naturally...

Exactly! Thank you!

Besides that the reason why I mention " please give me your suggestions and feedback on this " is if SE actually does approve this ( which would be awesome! ) then we need to figure out ways to make it fair for everyone. Yes the game wouldn't be fun if we could always 100% of the time out run monsters but besides that its nice to have just a lil bit increase in run speed to our slow ass characters... and for all those pieces of gear. they are 70-80+ besides the Strider boots.

Thank you all for the support and feedback thus far and can't wait to see more suggestions on this topic at hand.

P.S.S: Most the reactors should be up and running in 2-3 days! /thumbs up
