Eorzea is dead... [Suggestion] Bring Eorzea to life

[TheVedis]

as far as i know, there is only 1 MMO on the market with a "true" living world, and thats champions online, every non quest npc has a habit of wandering around the entire world. youll see people literaly walking/driving the entire city and so on and so forth.

most mmos have a small little pattern an npc may walk in, but nothing nearly "living worldish" about them

It wasn't an MMO but Oblivious had NPCs that would travel between cities. It would be nice to see people wonder around outside. Random NPCs standing on the docks, with some backstory on why they are heading to/from Limsa.

We know you have it in you guys too, remember FF12? All the towns there were very populated and NPC's were going all about stores had customers, people were walking around doing things. That game was alive.

Love this idea, it's often something I've thought about and would add a nice touch to make the world alive!

Yah when you start a character in uldah the first cutscene you see is of tons of npcs everywhere, looking around at a shop or walking by. Then it ends and theyre all standing there, even the players are just standing there... cus theres nothing to do! Theres that floating chocobo carriage outside Gridania, would be cool to see those traveling along the paths outside going from city to city, or outposts.

I agree with you on the chocobo carriages. I just did the rank20 pug quest in Uldah, and when my character entered in a cutscene with one of the quest NPCs, behind me were dozens of people and chocobo carriages roaming about. It seemed so alive! When I was done with the cutscene, I was thrust back into the empty streets of the city, and I was like, "Where did everybody go??" lol...

I don't think it takes too much to add a roaming chocobo carriage in the streets or add a few NPCs walking around the shop stalls in the cities. Something as simple as that would make all the difference.

I like everyone's suggestions and I agree with OP. Cities, no. HYDAELYN needs the breath of life. I imagine her, the 14th as a sleeping beauty who's not even a glimpse of it's Radiant Light has been seen. Let us free her from the chain! Let her walk free! The land's alive! so believe. Rrhrm!... This is getting dramatic lol. /thumbsup for this and any similar threads!
