I hope 6.0 lets us wade through something hot, thick and sticky.

This is the kinda swamp we need

I'd love for my character to make a mess of himself in a swamp, I'm sure his partner would be eager to clean him up afterwards. Perhaps much like swimming was introduced in Stormblood we could have 'wading' added in 6.0 to allow our characters to heroically struggle against the thick, sticky muck of a swamp.

I for one, absolutely adore this idea. Like you, i too am always trekking around in the hottest, muggiest, stickiest of places. It would be really nice to get some kind of recognition in the game for it. A clean-up emote would also be lovely to help simulate just how dirty you can get in these places.

Since they went out of their way to include an actual story-based reason for our swimming and underwater shenanigans, it would be worth a sensible chuckle if they did the same with lava swimming.

If you mean like Toto Rak, then no. No one likes Toto Rak.

I wouldn't object to SE taking a page from Xenoblade's Satorl Marsh. I'd argue one of video games' best ambient experiences at night between the graphics and music.

If they add swamps I want a "stinky" debuff that lasts until we submerged ourselves in clear water or visited an inn.
Preferably with a visual effect of all kinds of things sticking to our characters.

Don't worry, there is someone on Balmung who would be more than interested in obliging you.

I want a entire desert zone (Southern Thanalan really doesn't cut it).

Well, we will be going to the moon in 6.0. I hear that moon rock is sticky and I guess it would fit in the thick category too. The only thing we are missing is hot, so I guess you mostly got your wish.



~~Good Luck.
