Notes:
- All Flying Mounts can swim.
- Unlock Swimming through Quest that give the WoL the magical ability to breath underwater.
- No Loading for swiming.

Aw yiss to no underwater combat!

Maybe now we can cross from the eastern part of Upper Noscea to the western part without a boat :3
But cynic ole me wagers it'll be limited to a very few, select areas >.>

Real Estate in Limsa is gonna skyrocket.

I personally don't like how they are adding swimming. It just seems so wasted compared to flying. Once I get the aether currents what need would I have to go in there beside gathering or being forced to go in there? I just hope they don't invest too much into swimming then in the end its not used much. From what they showed just seems like "hey we have swimming now! for reasons!". I am glad you can't fight in water but any game which has swimming ended up just being a waste and never done right. Which is why most games not don't invest much into swimming now... it's just not worth it for a way of travel.

You like flying. I like swimming.

I swear if I can't doggie paddle i will bite someone, ;P

best part about swimming is imagine all the gorgeous pics you can take

When I told my BF swimming was being added he said he'd finally come back to the game, haha.
Lack of swimmings something we've joked about for a long time (and I love swimming, so all happy in my corner).

What is the purpose of this feature if there are no underwater combat zones?

Roleplaying purposes at the very least. Besides, I've never heard of a game being praised for it's underwater combat. Usually those aspects are decried as the worst parts of a game.
