Right!? It'd be so nice to have something like this again!

I would love more little critters like birds, snakes and animals like that and I would love to have more passive monsters/animals. Its completely strange to have all those herbivores aggroing on you as soon as they see you..and have all those bad monsters going/flying around camps. How exactly is anyone still alive there? (They cant really fight unlike us)

The eccosystem is not really believeable imo. Too many aggressive animals and way too less normal ones. It would be cool to see young ones too and have their parents protect them if you go near them. Or let monsters be harmless until you go near their nests or attack one of them, then a herd could follow you.

Or maybe have passive monsters that love to run away from fights so you need to stun/sleep them or kill them fast.

A cat roaming around isn't going to make me go out more.

I'm just standing in one of the major cities (apart from Limsa Lominsa, I avoid that RP plaughed location), and just spam my roulette. The only time I'll go out again is when they release the new expansion and that will just be untill lvl cap and then just stand there spamming roulettes again.

I'd rather have them to spend more time on you know content that matters? (for me at least I guess).

Oh and you know ... #serverlimitations.

Not all ideas are for everyone. They obviously care as much about non-battle content as they do raids and dungeons, they're always adding new aesthetics to the game, such as glamour, hair styles, mounts and pets, etc. It would be nice if they do the same for the game's environment :D

As long as the blood thirsty guards to places can't harm them I'm all for it.

Bring on the ambient creatures! I was actually thinking about this the other day when I was playing one of my other games. I'm so used to seeing peaceful creatures in games - either in the form of "white name" animals which are just there for the environment, or peaceful EXP animals which don't aggro you on sight.

I'd like more ambience in general tbh, wildlife, people, and sounds etc. If you switch off the background music this game is really quiet. It'd be nice if they made the game a bit more immersive.

Aside from the school of fish, sharks, and birds mentioned I'm fairly certain I've seen butterflies somewhere....or maybe that was fortnite? Can't remember at this time lol, but yes I do agree with this.

Eureka has a bunch of butterflies in some places during fair weather
