Swim - Underwater Map! How about it SE!

I don't think you need to have silly restrictions like overly slowed movement speed or ineffective spells. xD That's silly. It's a video game.

Hey, remember in a Final fantasy game where you'll be impacted if you wore certain armor in a magnet cave? Yeah what a silly restriction, its a video game.

Protip: It actually adds depth to a game if you have to actually take caution about your environment. No wonder MMOs are so lifeless nowadays lol.

Yes please.

Anything to open up the game and make it more explorable. Sometimes it doesnt feel like an MMO with all the small zones, instancing, and invisible walls. Probably due to ps3 limitations.

Yoshi did say they are going to do both underwater and flight in different expansions.

This game needs something, it feels so small and confined, its another lobby waiting MMO for your instance queue to pop.

I miss big open world sandboxes, Im not saying this game needs to be a sandbox but sheesh give me a reason to go out and do something and give me the final fantasy feel of adventuring.

They already stated it's due to THEIR DECISION to barrier off certain spots to prevent players from getting stuck or going to areas that has nothing there, i.e you see that ocean? Sorry to break it to you but there's nothing out there for you to "get to".

This is the only FF game I've ever played, but even still - yes, I think it's a silly restriction. Restrictions that make something less fun and more cumbersome are not good. Slowed movement and completely locking you out of certain spells (which would be quite killer to THM/BLM) are examples of those. And your argument isn't exactly endeared to me by using snide "protip" comments, just by the way. You can have an engaging MMO without painfully cumbersome gameplay mechanics.
