any chance of Sky/Sea type areas?

[AresGodofwar]

this would b cool, keep in mind alot of end game stuff in 11 came out on expansions, so we could only hope.

I'm not sure if people here are nostalgic about the visuals and design of Sky and Sea, or if people actually LIKED grinding the f out of those areas, having spawns stolen, MPKing, dealing with RMT, and having to do the same content for 4 years because it still offered some of the best-in-slot rewards.

I never want to go back to a game where I have to deal with s***ty content that I have to repeat for almost half a decade, but I would definitely like to see some well stylized, themed end game areas.

We didn't get MPK'd or have spawns stolen, as:

1) We were moderately well skilled and not morons
2) We had a very good relationship with most of the endgame shells on the realm
3) We didn't resort to name calling at every HNM/Sky/Sea event when something didn't go our way

Good for you, you didn't get to experience the bad side of FFXI players. Others did and it should not have happened at all.

The only problem I ever had with Abyssea is that players only wanted to seal hunt and do nothing else. THAT is boring. There were other things we could do but everyone wanted to seal hunt. Other than that, it was fun and relevant and got A LOT of players back into the game.

You cannot blame the game for players.

You want the world in a blanket, and you can't have it. If all this stuff was possible, we would have solved world peace years ago.

Yeah, actually, I can blame the game because it gives the option to players to be a-holes in settings that are not supposed to be directly competitive like PVP. Other MMOs have done away with people being d***s to each other in PVE (which is, by definition, supposed to be non-competitive) by instancing things.

Hell, even FFXI did away with it in certain parts.

im wasnt saying i want sky from ffxi in ffxiv

i was trying to get across that the zones themselves are interesting, (who didnt go "wow" when they first entered sky?)

and the idea of it being like a theme park where there are tons of things to do is also very exciting.

there doesnt have to be timed spawns, maybe all the nms can be poped with items to counterfiet competition...?

if they make the area large enough with enough content there should be enough room for a few linkshells..

one of the best things about sky was you could spend a couple hours there and maybe kill one or two nms or the entire ls could join up for an all nighter (half of it spent killing kirin) at the weekend.

imo it is a sound format for endgame.

If anything the dev team seem to moving towards dungeon and instanced content which personally I prefer, of course this doesn't mean we still can't have these cool area's they will just have dungeon entrances around the map similar to Toto-rak and Dzemael Darkhold.

We may see the odd 1 or 2 HNM's but I can't see them being added as content very often.

because SE stated that this game will gonna compete other mmo,s why not implement the good idea,s?



oh yeah? is it the BEST prior abyssea? are you that poor to not buy the new expansion and pay for subs? again, Stop living in the past

You've got some problems Bearforce... calm down; seriously. And yes FF11 was an amazing game. It had many aspects of the game that made it incredibly fun despite abyssea. What your doing is focusing on 1 negative which apparently out weighs all the positive in your book. Tisk tisk tisk

And yes there are a few great things about WoW, Aion, FF11, Monster Hunter, Many other MMO that should be implemented in FF14. Why not? It will only make it better~

For all it's faults, FFXI had one of the best communities out there.

To the naggers: if you knew of a single MMO that is grind-free, has no RMT, has ideal players who never argue, has flawless class balance and endless endgame content,with a perfect economy, etc, etc.. You wouldn't be here whining. You'd be playing it.

back OT:

Sky was very cool in FFXI (If anyone has seen Laputa, you'll know where the idea came from). FFXIV needs something along the same lines but with a different flavor.

FFXIV could build on some traditional FF themes for it's endgame areas:

• Underworld (FFIV)
• Moon (FFIV)
• Magitek Factory (FFIV)
• Past/Future Time Zone (FFI, FFVIII)
• Crystal World (FFIX)

any chance not making threads about copying ffxi stupid idea's into ffxiv?

you obviously didnt play abyssea, so stop living in the past.

and you are obviously 12 years old thinking everyone thinks and likes what you do.

Asea was cool i liked it so does everyone playing it right now as ff11 is still very alive and well.

Anyhow he did not even metion Asea so why troll?

I love this idea Sky was awesome.
