Post What You Love About Eorzea

Coerthas in general. I also love the weather effects. Heavy rain is my favorite and blizzards in Coerthas are a close second.

Greetings,

If you really dig the weather effects, you'll be interested in what's coming in patch 2.16!

In the recent Letter from the Producer LIVE, you may have seen mention that in 2.16 we'll be making a few visual tweaks to how your character reacts to the weather - namely that your character will now appear visibly wet in a rainy area. Well, in patch 2.16 we'll also be making it so when your character is in cold areas, you will be able to see your character's breath when they exhale.

Love it! Can you please have them periodically shiver when idle?!

Also, can chocobo out during duty finder please come in 2.16?

My favorite spot in the whole game is a bit west of Moraby Drydocks town, on the raised part of the land before it dips to a lower altitude. There is a rock where a Level 50 mining deposit spawns that contains my Earth Crystals. From that rock, if you look out towards to the ocean there is an absolutely beautiful coral formation that rises many yalms out of the sea. At the right time of day (dawn), when the incoming tides aren't causing too much splashback, I think this is the most breathtaking spot in the game. Sometimes I just sit out there, admiring the view.

What about close a little the eyes on windy weather?

Neat. Now how about addressing how it rains in the desert (Specifically, some parts of Thanalan)?

Love: weather; music; character design; story; overall mood.
Hate: zone design (it feels like the original KOTOR -- very claustrophobic in nature); lack of any PvP outside arena-style combat; the fact that even on a very populated server like Gilgamesh, player interaction is almost nonexistent. Barely anyone talks to each other or emotes or anything.

I love the general day/night cycle and weather effects overall, I've come from a few games that had neither whatsoever, and it just always really adds to the immersion and interest of a game world to have those, imo. Favorite places include Middle La Noscea as a whole and the very top of the lighthouse near Costa. The sunrise from there looks absolutely amazing.

I'd really love seeing more plains/grasslands type areas in the game, but that's just a small wish.

Also love the Scion headquarters (the new one), it feels a lot more attractive and homey than the old one did.

I like the the day/evening/night changes but overall I like the changing weather the most because it just gives a special atmosphere when you're in an area.
For example when there is full sunshine in Ul Dah that your vision gets blurred because of the immense heat when you move the camera that really makes you think how warm it must be there as well as on other places when it rains or snows. I'd really like to see our characters to have clothes drenched by the rain or having snow on our clothes when there is a snow storm and such together with the warm breath being visible at cold weather.
About stormy weather you could make the clothes move by the wind direction together with the hair and such. It just feels kinda epic when such effects can be seen on your character.

Drenched effects in 2.16. Your clothes already move in stormy weather. Not sure about hair, I'm bald.

What about sandstorms in the desert area? What about sand tornados that lift you up and drop you some where different just in in FFXI? Can we get tan if we stand out in the sun for long? What about raincoats, umbrella, so we don't get soaked?
