More nonviolent gameplay - like farming (food, not gil)! :)

100% in agreeance. Unfortunately Square doesn't seem to give two flips about the non-combat players. Things that they want are constantly back-burnered to ensure more toys are dropped on the floor for the pew pew people to play with. Can you imagine what these forums would have looked like if Darklight gear had been priced at 100,000 tomes for a single piece? Hey! Gives them something to work for right? Just because it is housing does NOT make it less important to the playerbase. It just makes it less important to the players Square cares about.

I hate it when I am playing Call of Duty and everyone just starts shooting each other.

I hate it when people try to turn mmorpgs into Call of Duty.

Agree with the OP.

Would be really nice if in the future we can gradually starting to have more non-combat or mild-combat related mini-games like some kind of farming games, card games like Triple Triad, some variants of Blitzball (maybe "choco-ball"?), a mini-game involves digging (in deserts or other places, with or without chocobo), raising chocobo, gobues, or shopuffs, monster arena, or minions arena, minions racing, some kind of beach or under-water mini-game, a jumping mini-game would also be nice (which the game already has in one of its quest), growing materias, gambling, or catching butterfly, dodging thunders, etc.. (maybe not the last two.., but you get the idea)

Yeah, when I 1st went to the botanist guild I was amazed with its size and thought that we will be doing some growing/harvesting of plants. But no.

I hope we'll have more leisurely activities and mini games, but if they can't pull of housing due to server issues what hope do we have pf farming.

Don't underestimate the power of non combat features
