Swimming and underwater content?

Omg but it might kill immersion. The Medieval times that these Fantasy Worlds revolve around don't have the scientific and technological advancements needed to go to the Moon! ZOMGZOMGZOMG.

I thought that thread was hilarious.

In Final Fantasy's world there is nothing we can't add. Previous FF games touched a lot of different themes but my favorite of all was that they were so good at blending medieval/fantasy and futuristic themes together. It made for such wonderful worlds full of life.

But to be back at the main subject.... when is Yoshi-p going to comment on Swimming? i mean theres a lot of replies here and views... plus i'd say the majority is for it... but only if done properly.

All one really needs to get to the moon is an angry bus driver who constantly threatens his sassy wife.

Quite honestly the more I think about these feature's, such as swimming and climbing, the more I start to crave it. I would extremely love to swim out at sea and scour the depth's to find new area's. I think it would be rather cool to be able to dive down and explore a new area, such as a pirate ship.

As for climbing, there are also a couple possibilities. Such as climbing up the mountain to discover a secret tribe of Roe'Gaydn or something. Implementing a mission that requires you to search the highest peaks. Hell they did one in FFXI with the ENM's. It was the one with the Antlion's and the Hagun Great Katana as the reward.


And this one is for you, Lusaviri. To the Moon, Alice!!!!! To the Moon!

To me an MMO should not restrict you in any way! I want to climb, to jump, to swim. I want to explore and go everywhere. I want to reach places that i'm not even suppose to go....

To me, the freedom of exploration=immersion.

What do you think is going to happen when you try to jump into the streams north of Camp Nine Ivies?

You're going to smack your face smack dab into an invisible wall. You can't explore what isn't there.

They'll never do it. It's too fun and original for SE. :3

I'm in favor of this but maybe at a later date or when they do the world remodeling

Well, i don't like the idea at all. Swimming isn't needed for underwater content. FFXI had it (Ruins of Alexander...i don't even dare to try and write it the "correct way" because i know i'll write it wrong...where you go for Nyzul and Salvage) and we never went past the shallow rivers of Windy or beaches.

Not really supporting it unless there was a typo at title and we talking about swimsuits lol!

But seriously, i don't think swimming or even jumping is actually needed in this game. If i ever was going to add jump here, it would be auto jump, like was often used in other FF games, like VII, VIII, IX, X-2, XIII, etc, where you will jump automatically when reaching a certain spot in the map. That's also the only way i'd support a swimming idea...being in an automatic mode to cross deepwater rivers or similar situations.

For this kind of automatic stuff, any interaction with the map is welcome IMO. Jumping, swimming, climbing...even sneaking in areas like Snake do at Metal gear solid...but again, all automatic...specially because the more ways of interaction with map we have, heavier (and often laggier) the game would become.
