New City Ideas! [post your ideas]

[GalaxyGirl]

There are many things I love about the current cities, but I feel like for future cities little things and details could make it the new place to relax at and want to spend your time in.
Here I would like to post my ideas and would love to hear yours!

When I'm in one of the 3 major cities of Eoreza, I can't help but feel it is lacking IMO, not to be rude. I genuinely enjoy the music and how there are NPC's walking around and having conversations, but one thing I enjoyed in RPGs was how when entering cities that there were many homes you could enter, and each house had NPC's that you could talk to. It would always add the excitement of needing to explore every little place and building. Having homes makes the city seem more livelier! As it is now, it's just a group of guilds and a market with the grand company building.. minus a few buildings that have been very inspiring for ideas such as; The little shops/huts in old Gridania were cute and I enjoyed having vendors In some of them. I also enjoyed the little shops In Ul'dah, the ones near the aetheryte.

I enjoyed a lot of the stores with interesting buildings and nice interiors like the one in camp drybone and the one in North shroud. I also love the bars, having a bar in the city and putting the market board and retainer bells there would be so cool. Like a hub. I also think it would be more interesting to not attach the inn to the adventurer's guild and make it, it's own building. It would be cute to walk into an inn, and be able to go into the kitchen and see pots of soup cooking. And maybe a bathroom haha, like the inn in Zelda majora's mask. Would also be interesting making buildings with accessable roofs! Expanding cities with more buildings with purpose helps make it seem like a safer, and more cozy place.

Imagine a city state where Rowena (or whatever her name is)had a competitor In store goods. Like a different vendor with their own shop. Multiple solidery/myth gears that are different from the ones Rowena sells with different stats! Maybe ones that sell just weapons with special abilities. This stuff sounds really long term but it's an idea and if looked into would make me happy nonetheless.

Imagine if our aesthetician had his own saloons! I love that idea.

I would really like if the air ship station was more involved with the city, maybe make it in the middle of a future city? And like a seaport or something.

Also, as you know, when In revanant's toll, you hear a music change upon entering the bar then exiting, maybe you should make "inside building" versions of a city state song that gets quieter and more calm when Inside and the more upbeat and exciting when outside!

These are all ideas for a future city, please take it lightly as I don't expect much. Please share your ideas. It would be lovely picturing new cities with these things right?

Action City -

In order to gain entry you must enter into combat using only your wits and fists. The number of people you'll have to fight varies, as any one is welcome to pummel and beat you in order to try and keep you from entering the city. This happens every time you try to enter. Only when you have officially proven your self through regular feats of Action will you be given the proper respect to enter the city with out challenge; although some may still wish to do so, and turning them down will make you look weak, possibly decreasing your rank.


Inside the side you'll face a great deal of dangers which you must carefully navigate. Floors will randomly explode, sharks may fall from the ceiling in any room, you might think your entering a building and really entering a den of spiders. The city will regularly be attacked by giant monsters, for each monster you successfully fend off, another, more powerful one will come to take its place.

The city will also have a unique area called the Brawlers Guild, where you can test your might through 1v1 combat, your only weapon being your physical body.

Also there will be plenty of car jump ramps, high speed chases, shoot outs - including the out in the street, in the warehouse, and on the mean basketball streets of Neo New York kind.

I'd like to see some smaller settlements of different racial groups. Or, some development in some of the poorer regions depending on player contribution. For example, the Revenent's Toll has greatly changed in each update - imagine that happening to the Silver Bazaar?

how about a city like treno from ff9.

Gif Ishgard already! Been waiting for that since 1.0, staring out at it from the green plains of 1.0 Coerthas to the snow waste of 2.0 Coerthas.

Later, Garlean cities reconquered and used by us.

I would like to see city which are being plagued by conflict, like being invaded by beastmen or Garleans every once and a while. Like Besieged we had in FFXI or the Hamlets we had in FFXIV 1.0. Right now, 3 cities pop into my mind which would be very suitable for this type of scenario:

Ishgard, where Dragons rule the skies and frequently attack the city.
Ala Migho, occupied by the Garleans
Doma, being invaded by the Garleans

In FFXI’s besieged, the city of Whitegate was being besieged by Beastmen. If you fail to protect the city, NPC would be captured and brought back to their Beastmen Camps. You would have to venture into their camp in order to save them.

So, for FFXIV i’d like to see a Tug of War between the Garleans and the Adventurer’s/Eorzeans for the occupation of cities like Doma and Ala Migho.

I'd also like to visit the underwater Sahagain city - perhaps we can equip an underwater-breathing materia or whatever that device was that you use in FF7 to fight the underwater Weapon xD

[Sadana]

Did you know that you can see another hallway area of Ul'dah if you look through the metal grate behind the summoning bell in the middle of the market? I think it's really cool that the cities we have can be expanded.

I'm hoping for Ala Mhigo sometime, out past Silver Bazaar.
