Swimming and underwater content?

[Veronica]

I have felt super bad control for games with swimming before, but I would love swimming if it is not annoying to use. It could open up so much opportunity. Also, I wouldn't mind a dungeon/instance that is located underwater.

I'm in favor of this but maybe at a later date or when they do the world remodeling

Well, i don't like the idea at all. Swimming isn't needed for underwater content. FFXI had it (Ruins of Alexander...i don't even dare to try and write it the "correct way" because i know i'll write it wrong...where you go for Nyzul and Salvage) and we never went past the shallow rivers of Windy or beaches.

Not really supporting it unless there was a typo at title and we talking about swimsuits lol!

But seriously, i don't think swimming or even jumping is actually needed in this game. If i ever was going to add jump here, it would be auto jump, like was often used in other FF games, like VII, VIII, IX, X-2, XIII, etc, where you will jump automatically when reaching a certain spot in the map. That's also the only way i'd support a swimming idea...being in an automatic mode to cross deepwater rivers or similar situations.

For this kind of automatic stuff, any interaction with the map is welcome IMO. Jumping, swimming, climbing...even sneaking in areas like Snake do at Metal gear solid...but again, all automatic...specially because the more ways of interaction with map we have, heavier (and often laggier) the game would become.

i think general swimming would be silly, especially for combat but just as a way to move around. >.> i dont think ive read anyone mention simple things like being able to wade waist deep in water to cross a larger/deeper than normal stream at just a slight slower movement speed things like that would be good.

then again :x
idk how lalafell would handle it, maybe just have them wade through at certain points that arent so deep, but more interaction with water in general. Was really disappointed with the current water in XIV because of its lack of basic splash for even just footprints which FFXI got down.

>.> and even rain in XI made water splashes when you ran on grass
Generally think swimming would be silly, but adding more detail or areas where you can get experience like the above would be great. only Two places ive seen where you can cross rivers are at Riversmeet by walking over rocks/waterfall and streams in Blackshroud

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

... So did i D:

[Celyia]

Swimming and underwater (and underwear) content? Bring it on...

...in the future. When a few necessary things are taken care of first. But at some point down the road? I'd love to see something like this happen.

Meh. Could be cool. I love Vashj'ir in wow its my favorite new zone, but Im cool if SE Skips this for now.

[Kimahri]

Well at any rate it's not like this thread makes much difference anyway. Everybody in here has forgot the dev tag, and I'm not looking up another one to post. So good luck with that!

[Seikninkuru]

I'd love it.

we don't need /jump or swimming, we need content and end game!
