I miss the "dangerous" zone/area we had in 1.0

[Hurlstone]

I have no problem with such zones being added. Could be fun for end level quests and things like that. I would not want the game to force you to go through these areas just to get to the main cities, or for simple items though. Make it more an area people go to enjoy the challenge, rather then being forced into enduring one.

I played XI since the JP Beta and I can safely say I also seen more people say they had fun going through zone because no matter how strong you are, something can still kill you than not because they realize outside of abyssea, they're not invincible god like creatues for 3 minutes.

Likewise I also seen lots say they hate how level 65 crabs will still aggro you at 99 even though they're pretty much just tickling you.

Lol, you have proven over and over to be a very bad source of information when it concerns FFXI. The vast majority of FFXI players did not act like that, and you know it.

My general opinion. Fun bonus, but godsdamn if you drop say important regular stuff in the backend off arsenowhere and expect me to go on an epic journey every time I need to pick up some Gysahl Greens.

Why don't they just add zones that when night time comes monsters get very strong ?

See this is what dangerous areas do, they help you to create a memorable experience. Something we'll reminisce on with our friends and laugh about how we kept getting owned by those giant trees for 9999 damage and how we figured out the method for navigating the area and killing the things we needed to.

Nobody is going to say to their friends in years to come "hey! remember when we had to click duty finder to enter the moogle fight? That was such a laugh!"

Yeah, that one time memorable experience, because after that one time it just becomes annoying for everyone.

I must have imagined all the fun people were having when we got to Sky and seen the interesting turn of events where you were pretty much not allowed to use magic in most of the zone as you're in arcane heaven, or Al'taieu after beating Tenzen and seen all the new and (at the time) interesting ways monsters aggroed you and reacted to you. Or In ToAU areas where monsters aggroed the mere fact you weaponskilled near them or used a job ability. So you can't really blame me if the people you were around didn't enjoy the creativity that went into the monsters of the game, especially early on in x expansion's life span.

Also it was your choice to use the word "majority" because most people I know complained about still aggroing "low level monsters" once the cap was raised you know, the rest of the post you ignored, but that would have killed your personal attack.

FFXIV 1.x Sucked, Out of all the things it did right, There are overwhelming reason to not look back but to look forwards.

Sure the zone where massive, And I liked that. I hated the Cut and copy ZONEs. It doesn't matter how long a hall way is, It's the same all the way from end to end.

It didn't for our LS, we had to do it a few times to help new members through and we still enjoyed sneaking around dodging the trees, laughing at people getting chased... and we were a pretty casual group.

everybody i know who plays FFXI has some recollection of their trek to Jeuno for the Chocobo license. nobody likes the constant run to Dragon's Aery.

we're not asking for the Third Coil entrance to be put in one of these places as an inconvenience to get to other content.

But you're ok with the copy pasta textures in 2.0? look at the ground next time and the same stone repeats every two feet.
