Swimming and underwater content?

I loved the Butercherblock video linked! It was so much fun jumping off the docks with a fae!!

I'm pretty sure the new outfits for the summer fest are all part of Yoshida's master plan to bring swimming into the game.

Couldn't agree more. Let's hope we never see a reference to Paris Hilton reference in XIV.

A Matt Hilton reference wouldn't bother me so much.

Super Mario Brothers taught it to them.

Joking aside, swimming content and even ways to simulate said content fairly as a challenge(breath and all) was introduced in Everquest, complete with underwater bosses and spells to extend breath.

Honestly, those bikini's aren't for swimming (unless you like falling out of your top when a wave hits). Those bikini's are for sun-bathing, laying around on the beach or at the pool. :D
