I miss feeling SCARED

[Tazo]

I forget the name of the zone(cave/tunnels) but it was a popular leveling area for parties around 45ish, killing crabs. I was in a party there for the first time as a THF and we got attacked out of nowhere by the dragon that roams that zone. EVERYONE was getting merked....I popped Perfect Dodge and barely made it to zone. FEAR mang

If you want a scare, there's always Minecraft and that part in Resident Evil 1 where the dogs jump through the window (I jumped even when I was expecting it).

Oh, and also Duty Finder.

I joined Odin with a lv1 Armorer.

Fear was using sneak and invisible spells and being reminded always at the wrong time that " Sneak is about to wear off " > in order to recast sneak spell > would cancel Invisible > this would mean you would cast sneak again..and then invisible >

Then no doubt somebody in your party would say > Sneak Please.... an the whole time...your trying to avoid > Mobs that could Murder you with a couple of pops.

FEAR man .... That was fear.

Even at lower levels in Valkurm Dunes... at night with Bogy's at the beach. They would just decimate group after group. I did love the fear aspect of FFXI, but I understand how it might not work as well with today's playerbase, back then it seemed like people accepted that things were harder, now people just whine.

Not only did those things make you feel afraid, but going back and killing those monsters at higher levels made you feel POWERFUL. There's also no sense of -that- in FFXIV either.

I am still scared of Titan... whenever the DF window pop-up I need to prepare mentally for torture

I'm not sure taking 5-10 minutes to kill something 10 levels below you is what I would consider empowering.

Exp loss was never a fear. Having to run back places was what made sneaking with sneak and invis so awesome. And before they introduced leashing having to zone because a party member agroed a golbin was annoying but made the game more well can't think of the English, um.......skill required? Like people had to learn or eventually you just got rid of them.

FFXIV is fun. Well it was fun. I have not played for the last two weeks cause I have no drive to. We shall see once the 2.1 comes out. But yes FFXIV has none of the same "fear" that XI had. The leashing in open world is far too short and dungeons are so auto mod atm that well I can nap while doing most of them. The game wont change to be like FFXI was in this aspect as Yoshida doesn't like to punish stupid players or people who refuse to learn and watch out. Everyone makes mistakes but most people learn from them.
