    Suggestion for ex-pack: sea travel.

    I had played a few months on archeage, the game was OK i much prefer final fantasy.

    BUT after playing AA i have come to miss 2 things how open and explore-able the AA world was, and the naval exploration.

    Both i fell FF would greatly benefit from.
    The open world is too much imo to ask as it would require a large rebuild of the current game world, BUT for the new zones its not too much out of the question.

    the second thing was the naval exploration and swimming mechanics AA had both of these where great and added a LOT to the game.

    I feel if FF added swimming and boats and sea travel it would give the game SO much more.

    I hope to hear other peoples opinions on this matter and hopefully some input from the Dev team.

    Something I read not so long after I started is that they had to choose between sky themed and sea themed for the expansion and they went with sky, I wouldn't expect anything sea related until another expansion.

    Pretty much this

    It was stated That they had both Sky and Sea themes planned for expansions but they just chose to go with the Sky theme first.

    So... kind of like FFXI then? Where 'sky' was the nickname for the floating island which was added in the first expansion, Rize of the Zilart and 'sea' was the nickname given to the weird and wonderful area in 'Chains of Promathia' where shark-type things would come up from below to give chase. Well, and tentacled UFOs... can't forget the UFOs...

    That was my first thought too lmao, but i do remember comments about wanting to make some underwater dungeons or something (makes me think of Alzadaal Undersea Ruins from XI) i wish i could find the comments but it was ages ago, either way that probably won't be for like another year - 2 years i imagine.

    Edit, misread some stuff.

    i think of we got a sea focused expansion, they'd have to come up with a contrivance to block the established AirShip travel in those areas. Otherwise the whole feeling of setting sail and exploring the uncharted ocean kinda falls apart when you realize that people can simply fly around up there and ignore anything happening below.

    What are we gonna do under there?For general exploration, It'd be great .. But again, the only thing under there is Sahagin stuff. An we're not exactly on friendly terms with them.
    Not quite so true if you did the Sahagin dailies. They also told us there is a big sahagin city down there where the queen lives. I'd love to see her.

    I just can't see an expansion being done where we get friendly with a Beastman Tribe.
    The Daily Quests are pretty cool as a side thing. Something that is happening within the world, but an event that does not apply to the 'commonfolk / inhabitants' of Eorzea. The one they trust is the one adventurer with whom they worked directly with.

    If we did get an expansion based at sea, i doubt very much that an underwater aspect would get any kind of real focus. Maybe the initial MS plotline is Limsa Lominsa going all out and obliterating the hostile Sahagins, then using the now free oceans to expand could work.
    There is a lot of space within the world for all sorts of lands to come about. I'm not opposed to taking to the oceans to find them, i just don't expect much in the way of content ON that ocean. Theres not really much they COULD do with the ocean, outside of Pirates and Naval Combat involving said pirates. But it'd suck if we all we got out of a whole expansion was a gimmicky Naval Combat system that is toyed with once and then left alone by the players because all the real content is based on land.

    Ironically, by making it a future expansion... if the game isn't shackled by PS3 support they may be able to do things like your suggestions much more easily. (They already said they "had to keep the PS3 in mind", ie limit themselves, with heavensward ; ; )
