Eorzea is dead... [Suggestion] Bring Eorzea to life

[sharky]

Well, my main city is Limsa Lominsa, which has a pirate theme. It would be awesome to see it transformed into more of Pirates of the Caribbean theme. Complete with wenches and drunk pirates. Actually, no. It sounds like a nightmare. Don't do it. However, the port should give the illusion that it's busy at least...

i'm pretty sure they're going to make them a little more lively. the jump feature is supposed to do something for NPCs

The boats in LL never ever move not even an inch. It's really boring.

I remember how fun it was to spot a leaving airship in Windy or on fields. Oh yeah but those were actually interactive elements and here we're hoping that un-interactive elements would be more interesting...sigh.

this is the 1st im hearing of this were did you read this at?

and im for npc moving well some of them dont over do it

The only ship I really see moving is the ferry from Limsa Lominsa to Thanalan; it actually looks pretty cool as it moves out of the port. They should do that at regular intervals for the other ships...so much more exciting. Or have pirates come try and ransack LL.

Beyond the liveliness aspect, I've always wondered why the cities in FFXIV (and other games as well) generally don't feel as if anyone lives there. In addition to more liveliness from the NPCs, it'd also be nice to revamp the towns so that you see more housing and living areas.

Dragon age 2 fills their cities nicely. you cant talk to most of them which is fine with me. It just gives the feeling af a real city.

Yea bringing Eorzea to life in this manner is one of the better ideas i have read so far on these forums. /clap

[RabidSquirrel]

You're right though.... I dont think we want to fill the cities up with NPC's.. but having the ones there do more than just stand would be nice.
I think the quest bubble will definitely be reexamined at some point... Many people dont like it... but these are points for another thread

Go play Lineage II now and see why a low NPC population really sucks. The towns in that game were designed to hold a lot of players. But since there aren't a lot of players anymore, they are literal ghost towns with an NPC or two standing around. It sucks.
