Swimming and underwater content?

[Wolfie]

Swimming just would not work. The Oceans aren't even water, they're a texturized floor. There's so much other stuff I'd rather see done. This is just a little too ambitious. Interesting, but just not something I really care about.

I don't understand these posts.

Adding swimming pretty much means that they have to modify existing zones to remove invisible walls from lakes/rivers/etc, and to create meshes and textures for the underwater part of the map.

And you're saying that creating the underwater parts to allow for swimming won't work... because they're not already in the game?

Same thing goes for jumping and invisible walls/cliffs/fall damage/whatever.

It is also unsightly when, in some mmos, you can swim while wearing a full body of plate mail. I think it would be very becoming of SE to add in some physics that correlate with what gear you are wearing also a snorkel or some oxygen tank or something.

The FF way would be spells and items for underwater breathing.

I'd love it.

I think I have been asking that in ever thread.... I thought he was part of every FF game.

So are midgets that can take multiple savage blows from a land animal the size of a blue whale; but hey, what can you do? Unrealistic things are what make video games fun.

So true.
Also this game is called Final Fantasy right? Last time I checked fantasy's goal was not realism...

This is FF, underwater zones could be possible. No swimming though. Like the under water temple in FF1. Just add a little bit more physics like slower movement and a need for oxygen supply and your set...

I think being able to go into a lake, or river would open this game up to find new things, under water caves that lead to fun and exciting places. It would be cool to see something like this in the game, and I think it would open up some zones to new experiences.

Swimming could be limited. They could make it that there is no underwater fighting.... just some quests that requires you do dive into a lake to find some items or swim under water to reach a cave as you mentioned but when reaching the cave you would not be in water anymore.... i dunno... that could work too.

This is completely ridiculous. What else do you want to do? Go to the moon and have moon content?

Let the devs do what they have in store and enjoy it.
