Make night time scary

[Valmonte]

Ugh I loathe british voice acting in english games lol, unless it fits the time period and location otherwise it becomes unplayable in english D: guess I'll have to pick up the JP version after all lol.

I'm pretty sure there hasn't been over 200 years of segregation between an ocean, to facilitate a difference in accent...unless the Garleans are really just trying to break away from there tyrannical rulers to settle on new lands...i don't think we'll be hearing any American\Canadian Accents.

As to the OP i absolutely agree...you often hear of the NPC saying how dangerous it is to stroll through the night. aside from the obvious howling wolves in the background noise, nothing of importance changes.

If this happens Im sure it will be in 2.0 and hopefully they are already working on something like this. Also Im pretty sure there was a similar thread to this one a long time ago, but ti cant remember.

At night I would love to see some fog with random enemy encounters like old school rpgs. It used to be you walked for a couple seconds then bang, fight scene. I would love to just be walking and have wights/skeletons crawl up from underground and attack you at night, add some fog and eerie music too.

I remember when i first started playing ff14 and it started getting dark and i was like "oh, i wonder whats gonna happen" haha, yea, nothing happened.

Before we had skeletons that would spawn at night in La Noscea and the Black Shroud... then people complained about them.

Fog and random, sudden encounters would be kind of nice -- just as long as they give DoL some ability to sense and avoid it if they like.

For the night is dark and full of terrors.

Is it just me, or does nighttime seem to last longer than daytime in this game?

[indira]

they did it in FFXI where bones & ghost pop when its night time.

they should do better in 2.0

I remember the Wights spawning at night in FFXI as a pretty traumatizing event when I was a little lowbie. A fantastic addition to make the world a living breathing place and would add a sense of danger that this game sorely missing.

Plus Wights in this game are great mobs and have a lot of character. I wish I could see more of them outside of a few select leves.

Especially since it was done previously in FFXI, and this game is made by the same company...

yea, dol was a concern i had, but since i have no clue how dol will be in 2.0 i didn't bother to make a point of it. Maybe they could have a special skill for to deal with them besides invisible.

The pink fog they do for dodore is a really nice effect so no reason they couldn't do a more subtle effect in other areas.

night time was one thing ff11 did well, i think ff14 should be able to do it better.

We need demons and dragons hiding in the night, prepared to swoop down and attack lonely adventurers
