An Eorzea that is more 'alive' and dynamic. - A suggestion for the future of Eorzea

[gifthorse]

A realistic and atmospheric world... in an MMO? What stuff are you on? That's crazy talk.

Didn't you hear? MMOs are supposed to be about automated actions (auto-attack) and stationary mobs with no behaviourisms other than to stand around, their only point in existince being to allow us to lvl up on them so we might get better stats/dps. Oh, and lest we not forget, the monsters that dare exhibit some behaviour such as being aggressive, why, they must henceforth be designated with some kind of visually repulsive symbol! Otherwise we wont be able to get from point A to point B as efficiently as possible! Heaven forbid.

In case you didnt know, MMOs are about efficiency, not immersion.

What genre game are you even playing LOL?

This thread is whack. Dude, this shiz iz off da hook!!!111

I really like your sarcasm, hopefully others will see it too, like developers, haha.

Note to Developers: This is sarcasm.

On a serious note, I think this is a good idea, and should have been part of the development process. Apparently, Tanaka was too focused on getting the nuts and bolts of the game done, and didn't account for the very concept that the game was supposed to be representative of a "living and breathing world"...
