This was the worst wow zone ever. A lot of people ended up skipping this area. The zone is huge of course, your player character swims so slow unless you were a druid who could become a orca/seel or had a underwater mount. You always had to use a mount and had to deal with a oxygen bar.

If FFXIV included swimming in 4.0 I will probably do my best to avoid the areas that require swimming. If it's all zones and if implementation is bad then i know for sure my gatherers will never get past level 60 lol....games try to make the underwater combat and travel meaningful but it almost never works out...

I will be happy if there is no oxygen bars and the enemies were fixed to the sea floor or sea plateaus than free swimming creatures so we have to "land" on the sea floor to enage them. Also SE would probably give everyone a starter swimming mount at the start. If swimming is like this then I'm good lol
