Played something similar. Actually a pretty cool way to do it.
I would love a /donation system in this game.
Go to a busy location - put on a strippers outfit, do a dance (manderville maybe?) have a sign out that says "hard economy and homeless, help a brutha out" have a tin can out. Total immersion yo.
With a free Inn for All there is no place fo cardboards.
But the idea with the tents could be cool. Tents are also very classic FF like ^^
People will complain that players are litterally camping at/ near FATEs and Hunts. Also that it makes the open world look so untidy, lol
Will it double as metal gear cosplay?
People are camping at fates in order to attain the mats to build the cardboard box - what, you didn't think SE is just gonna hand out precious cardboard boxes to everyone, did ya? 1% chance to drop mats, will need 5 of them from 5 different zones - it will be a 3 star recipe, crafted only by a carpenter.
