No sense of fear in this game.

I don't know if this been brought up before but is it just me or is this game lacking a sense of fear in the world out side the city's like. I mean like its a great game it's the main game I play but I just wish there was zones in the game that I was truely scared to go into.

Like don't mean to bring it up but FFXI was a good example of sense of fear cause if you died after you had just levelled up in an area and then to get to one area you would have go through a tough zone and try not to die cause if you did you would delevel to the previous level. Yea it was a pain in the ass when it happened but it gave you more sense of fear in the world. There is just nothing to be scared of in that sense.

How do you guys feel about this?

I don't know if fear is the right word, but I never feel like anything out in the world is particularly challenging or a danger to me. There are no WoW style high level enemies patrolling zones that will destroy you if you're in the wrong place at the wrong time. The only time enemies can be a threat is for certain quests where you have to go through an area of hostile enemies to reach a point and rather than fight your way through, you decide to take the risk and run straight to the objective and pray you can take whatever is still following you when you get there. That's about the only time the world ever "felt" dangerous to me, when I put myself in that kind of situation intentionally.

I dunno. I found it plenty dangerous when I was a little sprout and the enemies were all still level-appropriate. And now that I'm a level 60 I kind of enjoy just being able to get places without being constantly bothered by random mobs.

To be honest, I fear the other Warriors of Light more than the enemies I face. :D

Wouldn't it be great if the odd A rank suddenly appeared in the Markets. The Carnage, the emergency response button that instantly changes you to your main character (that hasn't been developed yet) The gil sellers dying on the spot, along with all the lower levels.

I don't see why this is so important that the world around you is fearsome.
Remember that people are supposed to live there, they're supposed to travel around the world, trade goods, or even built cities.

There is no way San d'Oria could exist so near from Davoi, when you know there are gigantic orcs powerful enough to kill the whole city guard and that thrives on destruction.
There is no way you could provide food if you need to be a professional adventurer to slay a mere rabbit out of your walls...

I missed the type of danger that I found when I first played FFXI. I still remember the long run to Jeuno. Ah the memories! I highly doubt we will see something like that in FFXIV as this game is built mostly around the "casual" player.

Only fear to sense is only when stealth doesn't work as a Gatherer. Such as Diadem. Otherwise with instilling fear it's nonexistent.

I only fear the Dinosaur at Diadem lol. It's meteor is really sick. :eek:

Everything in the Diadem wants to kill you, love it :)

True fear in there unless you're in a team of 8 zerging, it's fun as a gatherer!
