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

[Laughlyn]

Some suggestion's, mostly graphical effects.

* Swimming fishes in the water streams. (maybe the actual fish that you can catch there?)

* Water puddles when it rains. (when rain stops, the puddles fade away, maybe add some raindrop effects in the puddles / streams too)
* Visual weather effects on the UI, when it's Windy, maybe some leaves, grass can get stuck on the screen. (for a few seconds)
- Sandstorm effect on UI / screen, sand-grains getting stuck on the screen... etc (you get the general idea)

* When it snows... actual snow on the ground, wich also leaves foot-prints when stepping in it.

- Option to turn these extra effect on / off ofcourse.

Areas:

* Some Heavy-fogged / misty - magical forest much like in FFXI.
* A proper desert / dunes area.
* An area with some real heavy / wild snowstorms, im talking Epic Nordic Winters, with frost & reflective ice cystals here & there.

I personally like "Cassiopeia Hollow" but it feels abit empty, there's no hidden treasure chests,
no NM's and its abit too dark in places.


Monsters:

Sandworms that lurk below the Thanalan desert region.
- visually you can see them digging around underneath from the moving crust in the ground where it is,
it dosent have to be a massive sandworm , a medium-small one would be cool too,
but everyone like insanely massive too i guess.

Rabbit, i miss the rabbits, mandragoras & tonberrys.

Other:

I totally agree with Ruin's areas, its a must have.
Infact maybe ruins in various regions hidden somewhere.

I would also like to see more island areas, even if it means taking a short boat ride to it.
(or perhaps my own company ship)
Hell, why not make our companys own a small island? Pirate Cove Here we come Yarrrr!!!!

Finally, id like to see some more Houses, even small huts here & there in the great field areas, like in coerthas.
Maybe a few npc could live there, maybe some quest givers to Field-gatherers.

- I <3 Coerthas ! ^.^)b
