First person view mode

[Kaboushi]

I'd like to see my hands, weapons, feets, hat, goggles shades, etc.. in first person view mode. Just for the role play feeling.

(Note : all the rest are ideas and opinions I have, if you are a busy man go straight to my death penality idea wich is the only serious idea in there. I think its a good one all the rest is cloud digging because im bored . I also rated them ***** (5 stars is an idea as good as the pizza pocket concept) (1 star is as good as anima concept) for your convenience)

**Talking about goggles, why not implement chests, ghost enemy, etc, that can only be seen with certain goggle type.

*1/2 Talking about chest, why not let ppls places chest randomly on the map and store item in it. Ppl would try to find hidden spot, and ask LS to guard LS members chests from other players/barbarian that can try to unlock them. Would increase LS cooperation and storage capacity.

***Talking about LS cooperation, FFXIV minigame should be a tower defense game such as crystal defenders for iphone. The variety of class and strengh of playable defenders is directly associated with your LS class/rank members. You play matchs with ppl, bet crystals, get addicted. U'll get to want to Grow your LS, boost your class,rank. Quest for new playable map. play solo with full army control or invite LS to play their own character.Would look nice with 8bites NES classics characters.

**1/2Ppls should be able to make "friend" with certain enemy type. Those would help you when your in danger and wont attack you unless you break the friendship. Friendship can be made by killing this Mob type main enemy queen,king (new kind of NMs), acording to elemental resistence, location, game story, or whatever it could be. Just for more strategy gameplay. The longer you are friend with squirrel, or the more enemy king/queen you kill, the stronger theyll be for you. If you kill an antling queen In the western thanalan, sheep will be on your side until you break the pack. You can only manage one friendship at the time.

**Talking about friendship, party affinity should grow stronger the more and more you party with your party buddys. At a point, you can also learn basic skill from is main class/job as an party afinity reward. Restriction would be that you can only use that ability with that person in your party unless you learn it by urself.

*Their should be a way somehow to be an outlaw. Like if you dont do you main story quest 5 rank after its available, you become a pvp target. The good : barbars will provide stuff and repair you for free, you can get their protection if you go in a barbarian village. It's fun. It end when you get back on you main story. The bad : you can't go in the citys, so soon or later youll get back on your main story quests.

***1/2Ppl were asking about death penality. Let's say that that getting unconscious would make you gradually forget learned skills. Like if you die 5 time you forget a easly forgetable skills, some skill requiere to die 20 time to forget them. Depend on the way you died : poison dead, weapon hit, magic hit , etc... different set of skills would be affected. Those skills would be then learned but forget and would require scroll to be remembered. That or to developp party affinity with someone with that skill (see other confusing idea above) Thats it. Think about it as brain damage.

*Anima is so wrong in everyway. It's the less creative way to transport character in a game ever. Even the pipes in super mario bros. had more sense, it was plumber related. I dont like to say this but something went wrong creating transportation that we dont know about. Anima concept is the equivalent of the car concept, both are ruining their recpective world in a stupid way. There were certainly other plan and du to a lack of time they poped the anima concept. Its my guess. There is no story behind anima, no explanation on how ppl can move from place to place like gods from rank 1. My idea is to get rid of it 100%. It cut the pleasur of discovering places and the chalenge to get there. I've been to mor dhona at rank 15, i felt like a 10 yrs old in a strip club. Very inapropriated. Then at 18 the boy will already be bored with nude women because he spent time going there only because he can. Then he will constantly need more than usual ppl because he had it to easy at first. Thats how my character feel right now and its very hard to reverse the psychological damage. Just dont do the same with new players. Please. Chocobo , airship, and boat. Don't scrap a winning receip. Its like going to mcdo and no bigmac on the menu but only pills to cut your hunger down. Id still prefer mario bros pipes to anima in FFXIV.

I know this won't happen. Just having fun.

[Frebaut]

Thats not going to happen. But i think it would look kinda cool.

[Seif]

I'd like the monsters not going through me 100% of the time while in battle during 1st person view. Is that really too much to ask? I remember the game having less of these problems when the collisions still made some sense...

[viion]

Would be kool but i doubt it will happen

[Rau]

I like how we can all assume that a fun and semi-innovative idea is going to be cast aside automatically...

[Renshi]

Play as a female Elezen
Enable FP View
Look down
Enjoy

[Kaboushi]

my title dont make sense anymore sorry

Because if you have noticed so far most suggestions of new things have been disregarded, other features similar to this have been responded with "there are no plans for it" or ignored. And then something related to a system already in place will get answers. So with this sort of attitude it seems the development team only plan to do what they want and this forum is just to see what opinions we have on their already existing ideas and plans. (And I doubt something like this in their mind) I dont think they should have taken over shoulder third person cam because it could make Archer feel more FPS like, but they removed it for 1 reason or another.

I dont like this idea, i like first person view for taking screenshots and seeing the surroundings.

I dont like this idea, i like first person view for taking screenshots and seeing the surroundings.

Can agree AND disagree with this. I was playing in FPV the other day for the hell of it and thought it would have been awesome to see the brim of my hat and staff while casting, would add another element of immersion to the game.

But at the same time, screenshots would get cluttered as hell, which would suck because there are some really pretty places in this game among the copypasta.
