We Really Need To Talk About The State And Path Of FFXIV

[Shurrikhan]

I would really like climbing alot more than flight. Especially considering the fact the devs keep making maps with all kinds of hills and cliffs everywhere you look. But they have a slew of other map and enemy issues to fix to make it truly worth it and I don't think that will change anytime soon. I'd love to see the world enemies be much less... computerized. Or robotic. Like the animals(open world mobs) just feel so much like simple programs and not complex creatures. Doesn't make the world feel alive.

Then there are again, fish and puffballs of moss that can still threaten the Warrior of Light.

Oh, same. Absolutely. It's largely why I was so pissed that 1.x's Black Shroud was thrown out for being a labyrinth that had little usable area over its total dimensions rather than being made climbable, so that it had greater usable area than its dimensions. (Plus it just looked way cooler...) And then there's the unique mob behaviors 1.x's world had, scrapped instead of being improved upon...

But such systems are a ton of work... that I feel would repay itself tenfold.
