So I was running around the Black Shroud, handing in my local leves. I had the music off and thought it was quite relaxing with just the birds singing. But...where are they? There's not a single bird in sight (apart from the bird mobs, but they don't count). There are birds in all the other areas, but none in the Black Shroud. It's just not on!
So please, when you redesign the Black Shroud, please add a few birds flying around here and there, yeah? :D
I hear birds singing, but where are they?

Yeah. I hear waves crashing in Lomsa Lominsa, yet the water always looks super calm. Where are the 'thrashing waves' against the rock cliffs, or how bout some boats sailing beneath those enormous bridges in Lomsa Lominsa?

Ideas like actual thrashing waves and a dynamic lively world and like someone mentioned yesterday about allowing us to build settlements out in the open world...those all sound well and good but there is no way the PS3 can handle all this stuff considering the reason they delayed that release is because of RAM issues.Quote:

Sorry to break this to you OP, but you must have Woodsin.

04-23-2011, 09:07 AMImpulseJust because the PS3 could potentially be unable to handle environmental effects doesn't mean the PC users can't have 'em.Quote:

04-23-2011, 09:37 AMMackWell considering birds, waves, ships and player built settlements are hardly considered environmental effects, you can see why they would have to leave those aside.Quote:

I have so much woodsin its not even funny :/ those damn sylphs tricked me :[ But on a serious note, the only way I'd see serious stuff like this added to the game...is if they added loading zones, just due to FPS and the current lag issues for all regions.

04-24-2011, 08:26 PMMugOh, I agree. Especially about the boats in Limsa. It's a naval city-state, but there are no boats sailing about? Hmmm!Quote:

04-24-2011, 09:48 PMSeifI agree it's just so empty and dead absolutely everywhere. And not empty and dead in an atmospheric, breathtakingly beautiful XI-kind-of-way but just empty like a new warehouse where SE expects us to care about this world.Quote:

As for these questions, make the game DX11=) and optimize the engine a bit more and they could have all these things.

04-25-2011, 12:43 AMMugYou can see butterflies in Gridania, in case you didn't know ^^Quote:

04-25-2011, 08:54 PMZenakuThe game does have loading zones that how they fix some of the lag within the city. But it seem SE have some cheap server or programing that does not even matter if they add zone because it still be a issue.Quote:
