Immersion and RP

[Judah_Brandt]

Your idea isn't something outlandish other than the fact that you're requesting niche content for what is, let's face it, the minority of players. Major problem comes in when you add rewards to it. Any mode, regardless of what its intentions are becomes virtually obligatory once rewards are added. Especially if those rewards are something exclusive like glamour.

Separate from that, honestly resources for your suggestion are better suited elsewhere in the game. If they were to put in a special dungeon just so people could "RP" in it in lieu of actually creating functional content for the majority of players, you'd have a lot of unhappy subscribers. Especially when the game is not driven towards that particular crowd. Remember that in game you as a player are creating a sub-genre of "RP-ing." Insisting that the producers of the game cater to your specific desires for niche content is relatively selfish. If there were separation in servers as there are in other games such as PvP, PvE, and RP, then I would be more inclined to say it's something worth the dedication of assets. Unfortunately that isn't the case.

So, uh...pretty much hardcore raiding and PvP summed up. And I'm inclined to add the gold saucer as well, since I rarely see people play anything but mini cactpot and GATEs there.

Personally...I'd settle with being given the animations we already have in the game that are used by NPCs and my own character all over the world in the overworld as well as cutscenes. Especially the ones my character already uses. The assets must already be there and fully rendered, otherwise my character couldn't do that animation, so the implementation can't be "that" hard and ressource demanding >_>

More good points made. The hard core raiding, PvP and possibly even the gold saucer are good subject matter to bring up here and I agree with the point made for sure. I might even add lords of vermilion to the list specifically. I never would have thought to add an RTS to an mmo rpg lol.
I also agree that emotes that are already widely in use could be used and that it wouldn't necessarily be that resource heavy especially if the content was not a lengthy instance. I feel like there would be ways it could be implemented on a small scale as they do many things.

Wait wait. So your comparing existing content in the game that is tuned to be difficult to pieces of content that were generally intended for literally every player? Do you really misunderstand the intentions of the developers so much that you believe they thought the Gold Saucer would be a ghost town? Or is it because the content is disinteresting and, I dunno, the rewards are of little value. Now, your argument for having "RP Dungeons" is that because they made content that a large number of people don't actively use is that they should create more content that a large number of people don't actually use? Yeah, no. Again, role playing isn't something that the game actively encourages outside of your character being the Warrior of Light and combating the Ascians through the main story. The concept that a specific group of players who have created an imaginary community where they're all half vampire nephews of Louisoix Leveilleur doesn't justify catered content.

That aside, I think the RP icon mentioned below would be a good addition for players, since they lack dedicated servers. As for the whole dungeon thing, why don't you just gather a group of four people and go into any dungeon and screw around. No need to have special content when you literally do whatever you want regardless.
