Swimming and underwater content?

Im all for it. To be honest I thought it might have been a little far fetched, that is until someone posted about moon content lol

Omg but it might kill immersion. The Medieval times that these Fantasy Worlds revolve around don't have the scientific and technological advancements needed to go to the Moon! ZOMGZOMGZOMG.

I thought that thread was hilarious.

In Final Fantasy's world there is nothing we can't add. Previous FF games touched a lot of different themes but my favorite of all was that they were so good at blending medieval/fantasy and futuristic themes together. It made for such wonderful worlds full of life.

But to be back at the main subject.... when is Yoshi-p going to comment on Swimming? i mean theres a lot of replies here and views... plus i'd say the majority is for it... but only if done properly.

All one really needs to get to the moon is an angry bus driver who constantly threatens his sassy wife.

Quite honestly the more I think about these feature's, such as swimming and climbing, the more I start to crave it. I would extremely love to swim out at sea and scour the depth's to find new area's. I think it would be rather cool to be able to dive down and explore a new area, such as a pirate ship.

As for climbing, there are also a couple possibilities. Such as climbing up the mountain to discover a secret tribe of Roe'Gaydn or something. Implementing a mission that requires you to search the highest peaks. Hell they did one in FFXI with the ENM's. It was the one with the Antlion's and the Hagun Great Katana as the reward.


And this one is for you, Lusaviri. To the Moon, Alice!!!!! To the Moon!

To me an MMO should not restrict you in any way! I want to climb, to jump, to swim. I want to explore and go everywhere. I want to reach places that i'm not even suppose to go....

To me, the freedom of exploration=immersion.

bump bump bump...

They'll never do it. It's too fun and original for SE. :3

What do you think is going to happen when you try to jump into the streams north of Camp Nine Ivies?

You're going to smack your face smack dab into an invisible wall. You can't explore what isn't there.

I have felt super bad control for games with swimming before, but I would love swimming if it is not annoying to use. It could open up so much opportunity. Also, I wouldn't mind a dungeon/instance that is located underwater.

I'm in favor of this but maybe at a later date or when they do the world remodeling

Well, i don't like the idea at all. Swimming isn't needed for underwater content. FFXI had it (Ruins of Alexander...i don't even dare to try and write it the "correct way" because i know i'll write it wrong...where you go for Nyzul and Salvage) and we never went past the shallow rivers of Windy or beaches.

Not really supporting it unless there was a typo at title and we talking about swimsuits lol!

But seriously, i don't think swimming or even jumping is actually needed in this game. If i ever was going to add jump here, it would be auto jump, like was often used in other FF games, like VII, VIII, IX, X-2, XIII, etc, where you will jump automatically when reaching a certain spot in the map. That's also the only way i'd support a swimming idea...being in an automatic mode to cross deepwater rivers or similar situations.

For this kind of automatic stuff, any interaction with the map is welcome IMO. Jumping, swimming, climbing...even sneaking in areas like Snake do at Metal gear solid...but again, all automatic...specially because the more ways of interaction with map we have, heavier (and often laggier) the game would become.

i think general swimming would be silly, especially for combat but just as a way to move around. >.> i dont think ive read anyone mention simple things like being able to wade waist deep in water to cross a larger/deeper than normal stream at just a slight slower movement speed things like that would be good.

then again :x
idk how lalafell would handle it, maybe just have them wade through at certain points that arent so deep, but more interaction with water in general. Was really disappointed with the current water in XIV because of its lack of basic splash for even just footprints which FFXI got down.

>.> and even rain in XI made water splashes when you ran on grass
Generally think swimming would be silly, but adding more detail or areas where you can get experience like the above would be great. only Two places ive seen where you can cross rivers are at Riversmeet by walking over rocks/waterfall and streams in Blackshroud

... So did i D:

Swimming and underwater (and underwear) content? Bring it on...

...in the future. When a few necessary things are taken care of first. But at some point down the road? I'd love to see something like this happen.

Meh. Could be cool. I love Vashj'ir in wow its my favorite new zone, but Im cool if SE Skips this for now.

Well at any rate it's not like this thread makes much difference anyway. Everybody in here has forgot the dev tag, and I'm not looking up another one to post. So good luck with that!

I'd love it.

your want to turn this game in wow?

we don't need /jump or swimming, we need content and end game!

Because the only game that has ever had jump or swimming was WoW right? Fail gamers are fail.

To be honest, I think Square need to be more versatile with the terrain they add into the game, like, a glacial zone, a tropical zone, a desert zone, some sort of aquatic zone would compliment an expansion beautifully if they added content that made it work, such as underwater NM battles etc, that'd be amazing

I'd love a glacial/tundra/taiga/arctic zone!

wow is just one example, and if people like to jump and swim, should play a game of sport.

Content and end game is soooo WoWish.

Plz no swimming, but the underwater content would be AWESOME. You could have kingdoms and even more mobs. This is a great idea!!!

i dont see why people are against swimming and things of the sort. i would find it thrilling to be able to swim out in the ocean. maybe they would add other areas to the game if we were able to swim and all that.

swimming, jumping, aerial combat and underwater content... omg! :) SE is awesome cause they do cool stuff like this. Where is this stuff??

Might be cool. Would have to be approached carefully though. I will admit, I'd like the idea of being able to beat up all those crimson crayfish that stole my vulture flies. Don't even get me started on the G4-squatting Southern Pike.... Jerks.

I'm not against the idea but it is far from being top of my list of what i want to see in the game. Though when i see a beautiful lake in a game or something i do always get the urge to jump in it.

Let's bring this game into the new millenium properly. Imagine some realistic swimming animations masterfully mo-capped. Ahhhh.. would be so refreshing! I'd swim for hours exploring off the coast of La Noscea. ^^

Agree swimming would be great addition, it would require a massive reworking of the game engine though, so I can't see it coming any time soon, maybe they could add it in an expansion though.

Tera has climbing, something I haven't seen in an MMO's to date, SE need to add some innovative area's and ways to get there that's for sure.

in favor ;)

Awesome idea, but let's wait for them to hit a few more immediate milestones first, shall we?

Lol you guys are way too optimistic and frankly too demanding but keep dreaming.

You use the "like WoW" cancer to describe it so I vote no.

AoC has climbing.

Swimming in the sense of exploring, yes but underwaterfights, no.
I would like to find some underwater caves e.t.c and fighting normal...maybe you can fight that thing in the LL intro then lol, I wouldnt mind climbing too.

I think FFX has underwater fighting, right? Anyway... All good stuff.

I don't even mind underwater fighting. If they made it so special equipment was required and you went to go fight some leviathan creature in the depths of the ocean that would be pretty epic. Even an underwater city and submarines would be cool. They just need to do it right instead of doing it "like" anything else.
