Adding the sense of a larger world with danger

[Shougun]

The impression I got from the interviews and such for Heavensward was the area is going to be MUCH larger. There is a big emphasis on flying mounts and I took from that to mean that we would need to fly from island to island, leaving teleport points for major cities instead of every camp or group. This will require you to be using your mounts more. These are previously unpopulated areas so there wont be the types of camps we see in the Eorzea areas we have now, we are essentially the pilgrims exploring NA. As for the danger part, I cant really say much to that. Little was revealed about mobs or behavior and the trailer they showed us of the flying mount looked like a test area and I didnt see any mobs and the islands they landed on were not that large. I can only assume that there will be much larger stretches of land.


Things I am curious about regarding Heavensward are Flying Mobs? Will they be flying between islands? Will they agro? Will it knock you out of the air? Will it cast "heavy" on you as they follow you to land? Will you be able to battle in the air? (I would love intense aerial battles!) Lots of potential, lots of questions. I'm sure they have not even shown us the best parts of 3.0 yet, they will be saving some surprises for December's FanFest. I'm getting really stoked for this expansion! and we still have the Golden Saucer to be released as well as content coming to that with the expansion.

O_o if you fall, do you fall to your doom? That'd would make battles near the edges of islands fairly intense, specially if they had knockback abilities.. xD. Dark and Demon Souls stair fighting ftw lol

Imo it would make sense to have flying monsters but I wonder if they will give you any defense to them, Chocobo Scorpion kick to the dragon's face for 1 second combination blitz to praying to the twelve and sprinting. Also bit of an aside but for the December holiday.. Chocobo Sleigh in the sky? :P

Expansion has me pretty excited too, and the Golden Saucer with Chocobo Racing? Farewell job, farewell world - you've been kind but I need to feed, breed, and race my Chocobo now.

Really hoping for mounted combat!
