Swimming and underwater content?

[Onidemon]

Anyone down for adding swimming to the game? Be able to go underwater and maybe even have some underwater content?

I'm think like WOW does it.... using similar mechanics. FFX did it, even FF7 had a underwater fight with ultima weapon. so it's not new to FF games...

Would add some diversity in the type of content they will add in the future.

Definitely in favor. But I wouldn't expect a swimming system until years down the road..

I always thought it was neat how in WOW you could swim down into the oceans and lakes, and have a few quests in there. Though i don't see them bringing that into this game. I could be wrong.

If done properly it would add a bit of fun to the game.

I'm against the idea of swimming.

However, I am totally one hundred percent in favor of underwater transportation (like how airships are for air, underwater vessels for water)

You're taking the words out of my mouth.... but i'm sure they could add it to the game... just not any time soon. 1st expansion maybe?

In favor! !

Swimming just would not work. The Oceans aren't even water, they're a texturized floor. There's so much other stuff I'd rather see done. This is just a little too ambitious. Interesting, but just not something I really care about.

I actually thought, before the game came out, that they would be implementing "Jumping" and "Swimming" to the game. Of course no one wants a copy of WOW, just like no wants to play FFXI again (talking about the other subjects like Classes, AH, MH, Party flag inv and search etc...)
But why not take the most fun of these two great games and make an awesome one?

Basically this. You can't explore something that isn't there.

Now if they were to design deep sea zones, which given the lore behind the Sahagin seems possible, and were they to introduce it in a way that made sense(IE. nothing like WoW or any other cartoon of an MMO) within the context/physics of the world, then I'd be for it.

I read this and saw "Swimming and underwear content".

I'm against swimming, or rather, it doesn't matter. It probably won't be designed well anyway, making it a huge waste of time.

But underwear content? Bring it on.
