It is 2017 but the realism in this game is still subpar

[Skyrior]

Look at all the AAA games out there. A lot of them are photorealistic and have great immersion.

Now, I love FF14 but sometimes I feel like I'm not actually the character in another world... but that I'm actually playing a game. Given this is a role-playing game more can and should be done to improve the situation.

1. Why don't characters sweat? A long hike on Sohm Al should make any person, even the Warrior of Light, sweat profusely.

2. Why do enemies respawn in dungeons and raids? Once you clear it they should be gone.

3. Why are Lalafell tanks a thing...? This completely ruins any immersion anyone may have.

4. Why is food not essential? Why is the Warrior of Light able to survive days without food?

The list goes on and on but suffice to say my immersion is broken at every turn in this game.

Edit: Someone suggested bills as a feature. I agree. You should pay tax to the Sultana every month based on your income. So if you make 20m gil this month you need to pay 2m to the Sultana.

No video game goes by that many real life rules. They are still video games. Noone wants to get a game over because they didn't pay they light bill or forgot to eat breakfast. :/

Ok but can we agree Lalafell tanks don't make sense

If you want bodily fluids and viscera, there are plenty of action RPGs out there for you. This is a final Fantasy game, and you're just going to have to deal with it as is, because that's how Final Fantasy is.

No, but I think we might now be able to agree that this topic adds nothing to the forum and is simply a troll.

Solution: Eat the Lalafel tanks at the start of the dungeon.

No a lot of people mod the heck out of Skyrim and Fallout just for that thing exactly but that's really not the same demographic as FF XIV.

They mod that game to pay bills? o.O WHY? I pay bills in real life.. let me spin dash robots and throw hadokens without worrying about sonic needing to pay his gotta go fast bill this month. D: - I hope that comes across as a joke.. cause it is.-

You pay bills in games like Sims 3 and 4. So is it too much to ask SE to implement a bill feature? If you have a house you have to pay bills.

The sub is your bill.
