The other way around, actually.
They are aggressive during daytime and also have nastier TP moves during the day.
In either case, I too think the nights of v1 were way too bright. I mean, you would get the HDR-glow around your character at midnight if you looked up at the clouds in the sky. That shouldn't be possible, really. I think visibility should be decreased during night, but not so much that you couldn't make out the contours of enemies and characters right as they enter the visual range where they "pop" into view.
I also like the idea of enemies that change behavioral patterns based on time of day, weather and/or which day of the week. Elementals appearing during weather is a nice touch, for example. Magic aggro was at times a bit annoying in FF11, but it did make for a more dynamic environment. What if elementals would only aggro magic of elements they didn't like? Dark spirits would aggro you if you used light elemental magic, light spirits would aggro if you used dark magic, etc.
I really think undeads should show up, and I think they should be dangerous relative to the area's level. Don't make them so strong that encountering one would mean certain death, of course. We should have a chance of killing it.

Lol, this sounds very exciting! that creep sounds the wights make omg!!![]()
I'd like night-time to portray different themes in different areas. Some areas could be:
- Scary
- Beautiful
- Calm
- Awe-Inspiring
- Lonely
- Surrounded by woodland creatures
- Tense
- Claustrophobic
- Really high up but with a view (i.e. climbing a gigantic mountain, up on a cliff or crossing a bridge)
- Sleepy
- That sheltery feeling that you get when its raining so you take refuge in the middle of a tree (I've done it irl, growing up surrounded by Redwood trees)
Night time being scary makes me think of Dragons Dogma. imo that game did it wonderfully (though it's not an MMO, but still)
i agree that making night time scary is a great thing, and i would like for night time to actually be dark.., maybe not as dark as Dogma, but dark enough to maybe need the lamps on the road alittle and whatnot...
I would be very cool if they added in something like ffxi where a skeleton, zombie, ghoul, ghast... is out there lurking among the other normal mobs.
"You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war."
Wights, and Bogeys oh my!
Oh god...
Bioluminescence and fireflys for lighting would be awesome!
As a Keeper of the Moon, I say bring on the Night and all it's perils!
