While I atribute some of that to the distance and inabillity to move to other nations, each nation had a plethora of content available to it, XIV lacks this...it has quests here and there but you never feel like "Part" of your nation. There needs to be some sort of exclusive content for you in the main cities aside from the quests, hell if even a few choice NPC's would notice you (Fame NPC's in XI come to mind, but I'd rather it be a few NPC's who noticed you per city) the NPC's in XIV actually say a few unique things based on your class I don't see why they can't make a few respond based on your nationality or storyline progression.

It would be awesome to see NPC's sho you away because they were afraid of the greenwrath wracked on your soul, or if city officials in Limsa gave you the run-around if you were associating with the marauders guild.

They may not want to keep distance a factor for XIV but at least do something to replace what it created, I want to feel like a part of my home nation...not an alien in all of them.


I agree. There definitely needs to be more in regards to national patriotism or the manufacture thereof.
