I miss feeling SCARED

[aray0002]

You can't make these games scary. It's impossible. Things can only be scary by yourself. The Slenderman online version isn't scary because you have friends to laugh with while playing, vs the solo game which has you crying.

Thats not true.. I remember farming for " Testimony " in XI which was required for MAT fight. This could not be done alone for the most part. Yes i know it could be done, but it was easier with a group. But getting to the target mobs were always scary not matter which job you needed the paper for. The BCNM ring was also scary because the amount of seals you had to pay .. you never wanted to FAIL.

What about JSE subligar. These are dropped by Fomors in Phomiuna Aqueducts as well as in the Sacrarium. Man these were level capped areas and farming these took hours for the group and at each turn True Sight mobs were every where.

That was FEAR man. FEAR

Stuff like that is a lot less scary when you start to realize they're just content hurdles to slow down your progression and keep you playing (and therefore paying) longer. Though you could make the argument that there's a happy balance to be struck, as you can't make it too easy to progress or people have no incentive to continue. I'd say this game has done a pretty fair job of that, though, so far- considering Coil took 2 months to clear.

In the end, most of the people I see asking for things like death penalty are the people who would be affected the least by it. Go figure.

If you want pure fear you can take your PS1 and go underwater near Junon at lv1 XD
I'm a low level gamer, so I like that kind of fear, like battling Adrammelech at lv18, or Grand Dragons at lv15 XDD

I forget the name of the zone(cave/tunnels) but it was a popular leveling area for parties around 45ish, killing crabs. I was in a party there for the first time as a THF and we got attacked out of nowhere by the dragon that roams that zone. EVERYONE was getting merked....I popped Perfect Dodge and barely made it to zone. FEAR mang

If you want a scare, there's always Minecraft and that part in Resident Evil 1 where the dogs jump through the window (I jumped even when I was expecting it).

Oh, and also Duty Finder.

I joined Odin with a lv1 Armorer.

Fear was using sneak and invisible spells and being reminded always at the wrong time that " Sneak is about to wear off " > in order to recast sneak spell > would cancel Invisible > this would mean you would cast sneak again..and then invisible >

Then no doubt somebody in your party would say > Sneak Please.... an the whole time...your trying to avoid > Mobs that could Murder you with a couple of pops.

FEAR man .... That was fear.

Even at lower levels in Valkurm Dunes... at night with Bogy's at the beach. They would just decimate group after group. I did love the fear aspect of FFXI, but I understand how it might not work as well with today's playerbase, back then it seemed like people accepted that things were harder, now people just whine.

Not only did those things make you feel afraid, but going back and killing those monsters at higher levels made you feel POWERFUL. There's also no sense of -that- in FFXIV either.
