sorry but taking a quote about pirates off of the discovery channel is stupid.

guys this is a fantasy game. It's in the flippin title.

Stop over dramatizing every aspect ppl want. These are video games.
Anyone using the immersion excuse better be role players who walk and not run, have names turned off. And "sleep" at night. Or i will scream you break immersion by not doing those.

some of the complaints ppl give for positive changes is getting really annoying. Alot of classes can benifit from swimming.

Bonecrafters, goldsmiths, fishers, botenists.

I'm pretty sure that out of everyone that's posted in the entire English section of the forums, I'm the only one who has gone on record saying "I would like to see a playable aquatic race".

Yeah, it's Final Fantasy, and yeah, there have been subs, undersea trenches, facilities and even underwater sports in the FF series, so it isn't that big of a stretch to say it could be possible/awesome in FFXIV. I'd more than welcome it, but it has to make sense within the game. If they want to introduce undersea zones or content or stuff that fits, then do it.

I'm more afraid of having half-assed systems that feel awkward than having the systems themselves.

When I think of Pirates, I think of people with scurvy, that spend months at a time on a boat, and horde valuable items in their boat until they dock. Plus I think of the classic English ones who actually worked for the British government and robbed the Spanish. I also think of Paranoid pirates who are superstitious and don't like water. Which is most pirates, even a lot of non-romanticized pirates.

Anyway. Sure, maybe later on, but I know a lot of people here have said it sucks in WoW. I'm all for a lot of major over hauls in the game. But swimming? Jumping, sure. But Swimming? Ugh... I just do not wanna have to deal with diving to try and find some ??? Later at some time in the future, sure, but Only in special new zones designed for it for one. It's just not something I really care to have the Dev Team waste resources on for the next 6 months. As is though, this game is not made for 3D movement.

I think so as well, whats the point of having a huge world to roam, only to be restricted from exploration. I wast to swim, and spearfish while I swim. I would love to see underwater quests.

This feature would be so awesome! Imagine the possibilities. I dont understand why people would be against this and this would so go hand in hand with spear fishing. If people are not in favor then just dont participate, I mean seriously what harm could be done by adding more content. Yes it would mean they would have to expand but thats awesome. The more the merrier I say.

What harm could be done by adding more content? Right, we should add space ship and space maps, other planets, giant chocobo mecha, sex and everything.

Careful, your strawman is showing.

Right, because adding more doesn't always mean better. The most recent outrage is the addition of side quests.

Careful, your red herring is showing.

And for the record, mediocre content beats non-existent content by default. But that's not what people are asking for. They're asking for fun content.

This is a great idea.
