Animated World Objects [Can I have them?]

[Fayette]

People say they hate the shroud, that it is all copy/paste with winding passages. Yes it has long winding passages but did anyone ever stop to look? I was exploring up around the Five Hangs node near Bentbranch and the detail they put up there with the forest, the canopy, the water, flowers, heck there is even a dock up there and it has some gorgeous areas to just sit and relax. The water scenes around the dock there and around the bridges are beautiful places that I doubt many people ever bothered to explore. I just wish we could fish up there ^^

With the redesign of the maps they are doing, I just hope they leave those areas untouched because I would be very sad to see them changed just because of a few complaints!

More on topic: I would love some more animated objects around the world but I can see their reluctance to tax people's computers even more in loading such fluff. I do miss seeing some npc's walking around and outside town. In FFXI, Sandy had that little boy by the AH running back and forth and it also had the guards going up and down the paths to the other gate guards saying "All's clear" or something.

Maybe in the future they can add Chocobo carriages that move along the roads with NPC's on them and/or NPC's walking along the roads carrying things on their backs just to make the world feel more traveled.
