FFXIV lacks animation

I too think it would look great for more NPC movement. Even if it was fairly automated. But if it was something like elder scrolls where npc's are walking around and chat with others when they get close (obviously dont show the convo in this case as that would get messy on the screen) but some life to the cities would be great.

Also in the future maybe some city guards on chocobo back in the wild on guard duty

Won't work on MMO, unless important NPC (Shopkeeper, Quest etc.) are static. I don't want to picklock a door at night to talk to the trader to dump my junk, or searching frantically the quest mark for the NPC only to find him 3 stories underground.

Yeah lets not veer off the point here. The point I am trying to get accross is theres nothing going on in the background. We dont have to uses oblivion as an example. Im just stating have some npcs walking about or chatting among'st them selfs. Take the carpenters guild for example. inside u see workers working. now how about npcs walking whats so evil about that? it makes the game seem more alive, rather than Npcs just standing there like a statue.
