Fill the land of 2.0 with loot!

[Tadacho]

I dunno... If you're just suggesting random collectibles that encourage exploration then... Hmm, the game already achieved this with the achievements for obtaining all Aetherytes. If you've ever bothered to go after them all you can discover most of what Eorzea currently has to offer. And as far as I'm aware, the maps will be explorable/unlockable and tied into achievements. Am I interested in exploration? Yes, absolutely, and I'll probably do it anyway without the incentive of "collectable loot" with no significant worth or use and which will probably just take up valuable inventory space anyway.

Completely disagree about the aerythes. They're few and far between. None of them are on the beach corridors etc.
In every zone they're basically in the middle and usually in the least interesting locations.

There are also plenty of things they could do that does not require inventory space. Like a score for every level like 50/100 found that you'd see every time you pick up/ find something. It would motivate to keep looking.

Aerythes that are only a handful in the game also show up on the map so "finding" one is about as surprising as sunrise in the morning.
