Also how would you show AoE markers in a three dimensional area without covering a good amount of the screen in orange?
Good points... just after seeing the video previews of stormblood showing diving and them showing things like giant crabs underwater I figured maybe we could "touch down" on the sea bed to do battle... like landing to fight when flying... eh no big deal just feels like a wasted opportunity...
