[Request] Enforced walking phases in dungeons, raids and other duties.

Respecting the content is highly important, I feel. I've noticed that even when a character within this great community is crossing a narrow bridge or a fallen pillar they run across it as if it were nothing.

I propose that to increase immersion such situations brought about a new active time event in the form of enforced walking. Perhaps if your character fails to walk in the correct balanced manner they risk falling off and dying? I think it'd be a great way to make duties more engaging and dangerous.

I'm a catgirl, my balance would read 100/100 if we could apply scores. Agility too.

That's a good point. Maybe more agile classes and races can have an enhanced walking speed to cross obstacles more quickly.

If this means more tightrope walking like the one phase of the final boss of Dhon Mheg, then...

I unironically agree.

Dude... I've slain Ascians... traveled to other worlds... been half dead... trekked over mountains... do you honestly think that I am afraid of heights and need to stutter step or crawl?!

Also please, for the love of god, leave me alone with these idiotic "active time events". Dumb excuse to force mindless button mashing on me. I'm not a console player for a reason.

Yes, that was partly what inspired this post.

Again, it's about respecting the content as members of FFXIV's great community. By the way, what would your favourite immersive walk location be?

A dungeon where there are parts you have to walk else you aggro a slew of ghosts would be cool.

There are parts in Qarn normal and hard where you can avoid aggroing groups by walking or giving enemies a wild berth. I do like stuff like that, but it glosses by most people.

Please no, no tightrope walking or any slow walking spots. By the time I get across that chasm in Don mheg the fight is usually over.
And imagine having to slow walk the same area several times after a wipe.

It'd be a case of taking the scenic route.

We got people jumping off other people's swords... and you think the Warrior of Light, master of All jobs and trades, Killer of Gods and Deposer of Kings, Dimension crosser, Future seer, who has cheated death thousands of times.... is gonna need to wibble wobble step over a thin bridge?
