    This isn't Skyrim. Don't expect the NPC's to be on a day/night cycle or anything.

    I think the best you can expect is maybe Dock workers moving Cargo, or another lalafell who cant seem to hold on to his fist weapons.

    I don't think it's outside the realm of possibility.

    It's possible, but they won't do it because it'll end up pissing players off. Unlike Skyrim, you can't skip over night time. A full day in FFXIV takes an hour, can you imagine having to wait around 20 minutes for the NPCs to come out before you can do your stuff?

    In skyrim you just lockpicked their door, stole everything and called it good... :P

    Assuming that all npc schedules cant include places that you cant get to yourself. It could still work lol

    Though anyone who wasnt a real rpg fan would be confused XD


    I think all npcs should have a general schedule / shifts - so long as there is a finder system (like the guard system I suggested). Life limited to the unimportant is depressing, though I get that some hate having to find something lol

    Buddy, after you have to hunt down somebody in a busy airport to deliver a document before you can leave work, i'll let you make a judgement call on having to find somebody.
    Seriously, having to hunt down people when you need to talk to them is so awful even in real life, there is no need to bring that tidbit to virtual life

    Lol, like the picture you painted.

    I didnt figure people with a short time limit wanting to do something real quick. The towns are not big enough, and with a search feature through guards or omnipotent map it wouldnt be as aimless as an airport (still may take a min or so though) - I can get/appreciate the "I want it done now" approach.
