Swimming and underwater content?

[Teknoman]

When I hear underwater and Final Fantasy, I think of:

Beyond the deep blue sea

Underwater Ruins

And of course DONT TEASE THE OCTOPUS, KIDS!

Ultros

Octomammoth

Granted they arent underwater at all times, and we wont be in a XIV underwater dungeon, but you cant have an underwater dungeon without some sort of aquatic boss. Not to mention i'd love to see an Ultros cameo boss appearance since he works like a Gilgamesh style character.

The only thing I think of is Vash'jir which I completely hate. Though it can be done properly. I just hate the way WoW has implemented it. Though the actual instance is "underwater" it's in a temple like structure that you have to swim to get to, but once you get there, you're not swimming anymore.

Excellent stuff, I'd love to see Geomancer in that case!

i'm not into water content much, even though i'm looking forward to gw2 it's not for the water content in it. i didn't like it in wow. i think my dislike of water in video games is routed back when i was little, playing mario brothers, 2.1 board i believe it was, ....dun dun dun water. was one of the only levels in that game that no matter how many times u beat the game always took the same amount of time unlike the rest of the levels lol.

but yeah i prefer no water in my mmo's to swim in at all, now boats to fully control on top like some of the older ff series ..yeck yes.

But you can at least acknowledge that a huge amount of people would love an underwater system, and that it would add more appeal to the game overall? Even if you don't personally like it? Plus, it's not like you'll likely even have to participate in it.

sunken underwater temple that leads to levithan hnm fight . awesome. actually swimming to it. no.

FFX had some interesting and fun underwater segments/fights, as well as other games of course. Wouldn't mind swimming down to a few temples that need exploring. With how combat works in this game it would be a little tough to do underwater though.
