Can we have blood added for 2.0?

A+B+A+C+A+B+B when the pop-up shows up that says don't forget your family. I've been doing this since I got the game!

I worry about people who feel the need for excessive gore and violence >.>. It serves no real purpose. And if you enjoy seeing people with flying body parts and gallons of blood go watch Quentin Tarantino or Saw XX or what not.

Gore for the sake of gore is immature, pointless, or unveils a questionable aspect of one's psychology.
Violence and blood for the sake of telling an important story or making an important point is perfectly fine.

If I have to kill 1000 beastmen to get a key, I do not want to see blood and limbs being scattered 1000 times. That's pointless.

If I have to engage in a quest where I defeat a major boss then it's perfectly fine if there is necessary blood & violence in the cutscenes.

It's when you cross the line from artistic merit to gratiutiy that it becomes an issue.

As for there being blood & violence in war... well, if I just wanted to stare at that all day I would go play one of the bazillion violent games out there. Surely there is enough options out there for people who enjoy that sort of thing, and enough room in our world for FFXIV to not have to resort to that?

If they did it in the 90's, why not now?

I do not really see a need... blood does not really add to the immersion, if anything it takes away because it will always fade away or such other unrealistic things...

I will say no to blood and yes to all those other things we need instead... like this http://andriasang.com/con1d3/ffxiv_i...2406v/full.jpg

Keep in mind WHEN they did it? In one of the most pivotal scenes in that story? In a scene that is still remebered to this day?

It is one thing to show violence and blood in a very critical point in a story so that years later one still remembers it.
It is a totally different thing to show violence and blood every 5 seconds just for the sake of doing so.

I hope that all can appreciate the difference between the two.

Who's talking about excessive gore? More or less everyone who is for blood in this thread also states that they want it to be just small amounts, not mortal kombat amounts.

I think it would look nice if my clothes got a few blood stains here and there after an epic battle, but it shouldn't be gallons upon gallons of blood pouring out of my character's body.

In XI, some weird purple stuff comes out of you when you get hit. But other than that, yea, can't really think of any other legitimate time you haven't already mentioned.

A whole new meaning to incapacitation.

There's no blood when Aeris dies.
