It is 2017 but the realism in this game is still subpar

1. Why don't characters sweat? A long hike on Sohm Al should make any person, even the Warrior of Light, sweat profusely.

Very powerful deodorant.

2. Why do enemies respawn in dungeons and raids? Once you clear it they should be gone.

They got back up.

3. Why are Lalafell tanks a thing...? This completely ruins any immersion anyone may have.

They hit things very hard.

4. Why is food not essential? Why is the Warrior of Light able to survive days without food?

Did you miss the part where the WoL stuffed their face with crystals in that one cutscene? You know, the one? That was all the sustenance they'll ever need.

You pay bills in games like Sims 3 and 4. So is it too much to ask SE to implement a bill feature? If you have a house you have to pay bills.

you monster lol. You know how many heroes will lose cause they don't have housing? when's the last time you saw Ryu or Sonic in a house they could own? You just doomed video game land. T.T

ie requests for meaningless things.

Who cares about these things. Are they fun?

Come on. Real Life itself is the worse MMO in existence! If you want realism... then well stop playing games that are meant to take you from it.

Isn't Ryu like canon a hobo anyways? He looks like a hobo that might just crash on friend's couches when the weather is bad and eat all of Ken's cheese-nips or something.

You're trolling you're done good if you're serious wow show me one game in which characters sweat and other such things as in your post. Granted I haven't played many but is there a game which character sweat and do all that stuff mentioned.

I realize in Sims you do pay bills but seriously come on.

Personally I can do without pit stains in my video games, but to each their own.

A ton of games have sweating. Games that SE published have characters sweating. The first one that comes to mind specifically was Rise of the Tomb Raider. Final Fantasy specifically doesn't really do body fluids except tears and the occasional little trickle of blood to keep that T rating.

Do you even need to ask? There are a LOT of sweat mods in Skyrim

Why is food not essential? Why is the Warrior of Light able to survive days without food?

Because they have one hell of a metabolism, don't you know? Every single video-game protagonist must meet this requirement. It's why they're the main character.

Why do enemies respawn in dungeons and raids? Once you clear it they should be gone.

If you're gonna ask this question, you're gonna have to answer this question first: Why are you back in that dungeon, when the original reason/problem that drew you there in the first place has been solved?

That's right, you're repeating the same events as before, and that to me, is breaking my immersion! Monster.

Why are Lalafell tanks a thing...? This completely ruins any immersion anyone may have.

Although this I agree with, down with popoto's!

Look at all the AAA games out there. A lot of them are photorealistic and have great immersion.

Now, I love FF14 but sometimes I feel like I'm not actually the character in another world... but that I'm actually playing a game. Given this is a role-playing game more can and should be done to improve the situation.

1. Why don't characters sweat? A long hike on Sohm Al should make any person, even the Warrior of Light, sweat profusely.

2. Why do enemies respawn in dungeons and raids? Once you clear it they should be gone.

3. Why are Lalafell tanks a thing...? This completely ruins any immersion anyone may have.

4. Why is food not essential? Why is the Warrior of Light able to survive days without food?

The list goes on and on but suffice to say my immersion is broken at every turn in this game.
