Day and Night Mobs

Yeah, but it's just more trash with more flavors of trash for me to ignore as I do my dailies.

The flavour of the world usually doesn't directly affect any specific individual during his daily routine.
That's just part of living within the world. Letting it be around you.

There are a few mechanics from FFXI I'd like to see make a return, like blood aggro and undead spawns at night. Maybe I'm the odd one out, but I rather liked it when there were different ways to aggro mobs rather than just line of sight. Makes the world much more diverse and interesting, and introduces some fun mechanics to different areas.

FFXIV has a rather arcade feel to combat at the moment, so it'd be nice to introduce some real threats in the world as opposed to throwaway trash mobs.

I'd totally kill to have day and night mobs. I really love the world of FFXIV, and having some features to make it feel more alive would be so so cool!

Sound, Sight, and True aggro still exist within XIV.
But most people when starting fail to realize this as everything is as equally dangerous (as in, 'not very') or quickly outlevel them where they won't aggro you at all ever again.

This and more passive non targetable wildlife. Not all creatures are harmful bloodthirsty mobs.

You mean there's deer and jackals out there that DON'T tear me to shreds just for walking by!?

I would love some day/night mobs; just for flavor if nothing else. I always enjoyed it in XI and LoZ:OoT. As long as they're not required for anything major, I'd be all for it. Though waiting 1hour for a night mob is no where near as bad as waiting 4+ hours for a relic fate.

This, too! The birds are nice, but there should be some bugs/squirrels/fish, etc.

The chupacabra comes out at night to eat wandering Lalafells...

I support this. Great idea!
