Now, the big question. With so much more money, will they choose the "Yes, we can do a lot more new things" or "We invested so much into that, let's play it as safe as possible" way ?

Another question would be "how much will be invested in the game and how muche in C$ ?"
I'de go for the letes play safe, again, after 1.0, I doubt they would let Yoshida do anything out of the box even if he wanted to.

As long as the swimming part does not include fights it could be nice, they could use it to increase the amount of explorating zone or even for quest only or add a new job focused on submarine harvest, maybe an hybrid of the 3 existing gathering job.

Yes, probably...I need to find something else two play while I suspend my sub for two months before every major patch...

Since we don't fly on our own, I'm pretty sure we wouldn't be swimming on our own. Using boat-type mounts, however...

**ADVSS** · 10-14-2016 09:46 PM

you mean the famed "scuba diver ventures" right?

Submarines were a big part of some earlier titles and id be ok with that being a part of later game travel, agreed.
I disliked GW2 and "swimming mode weapons and attacks" dont really want to see that crap added in place of more jobs, better job identity, more than 6 zones, one getting minimally implemented as an ex primals hub only(but oddly fantastically designed. sort of), among other things.

I'm quite sure that Red Mage, and Samurai were confirmed during an event.

**ADVSS** · 10-14-2016 09:12 PM

bah we all know viera isnt a playable race because we dont/will never get butt sliders. #Fran4lyfe

giving us 4 new jobs would be a good start, but we'll see. After HW 3 quality jobs that dont need patching every hotfix/every other maintenence/every half patch number/every major patch number would be great imo.

I am not very fluent in japanese, so i have no idea how that community has fussed over the jobs, i only know this community is divided, at least much less aggressively as in the past, id almost just assume these were teasers, watch the communities ideas and make a decision. We all expect these two, but if you read how we "want" those jobs, the devs, would probably go "screw this lets give them something else they cant complain about" however, like everyone else, id love to see both, trying to keep my hopes realistic and minimal for their implementation.

Had enough of that slow motion, muffled sound rubbish with WoW Cataclysm, GW2, Rift etc.

HW was bad enough with it's aether site hunting - when most people just went on google to find out the locations.
Much rather they focus on new classes/races - and the number one priority for me, return to an awe inspiring msq after the dip in Soul Surrender.

I can see it now. In order to have a rowboat you have to literally swim to all the corners and halfway places on the map, diving incredibly slowly to the underwater aether current. Or Training your dolphin-like creature (chocobo with a scuba helmet) how to swim in such hard to swim in locations by picking up these water-aether currents across the zones.
