Religion should play a bigger role in ARR

Religion you say...

Looks like a Church to me! Believe in the Twelve!!

It'd be nice if our patron deity was of a bit more importance. It'd be nice to be able to offer prayers to Oschon for a safe journey and such.

Yeah the game often lacks overt magic. I've always felt Gridania is really plain jane for being the "magical" capital.

Oh god, that made me laugh really hard.
I'm actually a Jehovah's Witness. :P
Edit: I'm colorblind.

It would be nice if praying to Oschon the wanderer in a temple would make it less likely for aggressive mobs to notice you as you run past.

That's exactly what I was thinking. I do think that if such a thing is offered, it should be something you can't count on. Something with only a chance of occuring, since gods tend to be fickle in all depictions.

Now that I think about it, didn't they say they were going to expand on our patron deities and how they effect us?

I do agree with the original post in whole, but "religion" is not a required concept to make mythical zones and themes happen.

Ugh, just from the post title, I knew this kind of crap would find its way in here.

I'll be pagan and worship all forms of the spork. All hail the mighty spork-o-doooooooooooom >.> <.<
