Swimming and underwater content?

[Corrderio]

Eh, I don't care much about swimming but I'd like underwater content.

XIV's version of Rapture anyone?

Ohhhh first expansion having under water temples?! that would be a cool concept ^^.

Definitely didn't plan to hear anything about swimming 0.o, I figured that was something we would never see. hahah awesome

Seriously summer needs to be over already, so these next couple updates will be out of the way so we can see some fresh new content and PS3 release give new life to this game. I can't WAIT!!! Underwater content sounds very exciting, I can only imagine what it'd look like with the graphic power of this game *drools*

I don't really have a desire to swim, but i won't naysay others desires. I've just never seen swimming done right in regards to camera controls, and god knows the camera controls in this game are already limited due to ps3, just like XI's and ps2, I don't want to be able to zoom out so far that my character looks like a little baby either, eff that. But I would like content as previously mention where you take some kinda of machina submarine...it leads to a coral reef area...and we call it sea?

Can we have swimming fatigue? I don't want to see people spamming swim.

If we have full underwater raids, it'd be hard to say fatigue would be apart of it. But the way he words shows he would be interested in having breath stamina. Which would take away from spamming or w.e

lol!

Anyway, this seems pretty cool, really thinking outside the box when you look back at FFXI with all of the things they are adding, which I like. Underwater temples seem really cool, maybe we could even learn more about the Sahagin and Leviathan! I really want to see a zone that looks as cool as Al'Taieu did, though!!!

Also, I've been thinking that there needs to be more ways to keep our fellow gatherers interested in their professions, and adding underwater content in relation to fishing, such as in-depth(no pun intended) spear fishing as some people mentioned, and other ideas.

Oh man I am excite. I hope this works out.

Monster hunter tri did pretty well with underwater swimming controls. Basically you move in relation to where your camera is facing. Basicall just point the camera in the direction you want and move forward. Need to move down, look down and move forward. If it can work in a quick, action heavy game it could work here.

Awesome! This sounds great! I've always loved to swim in MMO's and just any game in general really. I'm excited to see where this game will be a year from now. *Drools*
