Last Wish of an Explorer: Nov. 1-11, Open All Areas!

Greetings.

I had in mind to open this Topic in a while, but for a reason or another I forgot to do it. Now it may be too late, but I want to try anyway. Thanks if the community reps could forward it to the dev team.


Being an Explorer, in the current Eorzea I've been everywhere, but there're some places that I couldn't visit, due to invisible walls. Someone managed to do it thanks to some trick (?) I'm not aware of, and the inaccessible locations can be seen on this YouTube channel:

However, I was wondering... Since the current Eorzea is going to change forever, thus meaning those locations we adventurers could never access will disappear as well, and since at the time they were created, can't the dev team do an exception and give us explorers this last present, allowing us to access and explore all those places between November 1-11?

I don't know what's that “trick” to access them, but I would like to have them opened for the first and last time, before it will no longer be possible.

I know it may be late to request this, but I wanted to try.

Thanks!

Well, are there any locations in the files still unused? Just looking at random vids they're very old stuff that were used for 1.0 after all.

I remember Turtleback Island being around in the data forever, until it was finally used for Skirmish..

There's a cave system under bluefog that isn't Cutter's we have no access to.

not even off the front page yet.

That other Topic was opened after this one, but no problem for me in having 2 speaking of the same stuff.

Yes, they are indeed very old and there're several unused locations, looking at those videos: there's Peacegarden Croft, Knights' Round Croft, the Sylph Village and more.
One may say they don't look much different to each other, but who cares? That's what was always said of Eorzea, after all. ;) Those places, new places, were created and soon will be gone, so I think it would be nice to give us Explorer the chance to visit them just one time. :)

OK so two identical threads on the same page! *-*

Since this one was opened earlier, I shall improve its level.

Not a bad idea the only thing i can think to add is maybe show the info of what was planned by Tanaka through his development team notes and what not.

I doubt they'll ever reveal those old informations, but possibly they might utilize them for A Realm Reborn.
Like the storyline of the 7th Umbral Era: somehow I had the feeling it was already planned from the beginning...

Anyway, this is a Topic to request precisely the removal of the current invisible walls before November 11th and give us this last chance to visit those places. I know it's gonna be hard to get a rep response on this, but I'll keep on hoping!

They patched the methods that Mystina used to use (or the ones I knew about) a long time ago.
Was fun when it was in game but people exploited it. With the glitch it was possible to solo every mob in the game on ARC (even level 99 ones) without risk of dying.

But on topic. Would be cool if you could. Personally I hoped that they would open up some of the extra paths in Dzemael Darkhold at some point.
I explored it loads back when the glitch was in game and the area we get to access is easily less than 25% of the dungeon.

Mistbeard looks pretty cool. Nice if that door was open.

Do you mean the area called The Whale's Gape?
Actually, we adventurers had a chance to explore it many moons ago (alongside the Sil'dih Aqueducts in the Copperbell Mines), when battling the darn cultists of the Lambs of Dalamud:

You can find more photos in my diary if you want.
I would really like to return to The Whale's Gape, yes...

I don't remember the Aqueducts... Bah. Yeah, I completely 100% agree with this though, the devs took the time to create these areas, I'd like to be able to see them at least.
I know there's another one near the Hawthorne Hut, a little further west.
There's of course Hengr's Crucible and places too, Dragon's Aerie, etc etc.
Sure, even if these places are unpopulated, I'd just like a chance to see what's in there for myself.

Ishgard i wanna see

I Wholeheartedly support this idea. i would love to spend the time after final save exploring. I am not completely sure i would keep playing after a couple of days after the save if this were not done, but if it were done, i know i would want to see EVERYTHING and would be on almost non stop for those days until i either cataloged it all or the servers went down again.

also, my forum ban was released this week, thank you so much everyone for having reported me for denegrating the band "nickelback"

That is what was in the email explaining the ban. It had the full text of the offending post, and it was the post about nickelback.

But in all seriousness, i would love to be exploring more.

Odds are it either
1) ended up being bigger than they needed, or
2) they were planning to use the same cave system for multiple dungeons and just redecorate / change the paths.

Well maybe it's Rukkiri's favorite band! Watch your mouth around that chick.

Oh I'd love that @_@ Let us see the existing world that was always out of our reach :O Please?

These are the Sil'dih Aqueducts:

I think we could have had a chance to have the devs open up those closed locations, if this was asked a bit earlier...

Too bad!

Hello again.

Albeit I'm in this rift beyond the reach of time, since today servers are reopening I thought to give this Topic one last try and ask if there's a slim chance we could get to see those closed off areas mentioned in the first post, that will automatically get discarded with A Realm Reborn.

Thanks.

This post has a stamp of approval from the wanderer's shadows.

SO many people would log in for that. The game will be more full than on a normal day in 1.xx
