Alcohol effects. the warnings on the box

[Mushy]

A few months after WoWs release I had a high level character buy me expensive liquor(i could not afford any of the good stuff) well after consuming a bit of the liquor the vision was blurred, and it converted everything I said into 'drunk text' I couldn't get my message across in text no matter how hard I tried. So I drank some more and started dancing on top of a caravan. Within 5 minutes there was around 30 people all drinking and dancing just outside of town(the allied castle town.) This was my fondest memory of any time spent in an MMO and I have played a lot of them. One drunken dancing guy outside of town started a huge party, and people weren't there to do anything besides have fun and do michael jackson moves.

ONTO MY POINT!

Since Alcohol is already in the warning reference (on the box, and one of the starting screens) can we get the visual effects of drinking it? Even the converting your text to drunkard would be nice. Also when you walk it could use the /stagger animation.

We see people drinking at the taverns and mining hall, we see some of their drunken text. So why can't we? So far all that food and juices do is effect #s. that is boring..

I am glad they actually made it now show your character eat/drink when you do, but lets take it a step further. This game is geared more towards adults already with things such as the miners guild, and the mithra companion, and numerous others. No ones parents are going to complain, because the warning is already there!

So, please show your support Roleplayers, or people who just want to be immersed. Everyone likes immersion, its the goal of practically every game, and this would help with just that!
I don't want to hear WoW hate because that is not the point of this post just the example I used.

Also I suggest to whoever has not tried it in WoW, I think it is free to an extent to play now so go try it out!

I think it would be a welcome addition to ADD to immersion and those who seek to roleplay. There is nothing to lose the rating would not be raised, and in countries that it would not be allowed(does it sell in any region like this?) have the effect disabled

As long as it's not like Guild Wars where you get drunk and you involuntarily start shouting random drunken things at people.

Or maybe it should be like that lol

Never played guild wars besides the beta so no I would hope not. that does sound funny though if it was on /say and not /shout

also I made a thread just like this before, it went a few pages. But I would like to know if it is a possibility, or if the development team simply will not implement it. I think they should. Mods could you pass the message *nudge* *nudge*

And I remember yoshi-p has played WoW, so I am sure he has experienced the effects of drinking in game first hand. Its fun, its something to do when theres nothing to do. You can get a reputation in the community as the town drunk. then there will eventually be drunk runs of bosses "We*hic* realllyyyy... Showed HIM!*hiccup*" /barf. Also if they make it where if you are drunk and it makes it where you walk in the /stagger like emote, the running through dungeons would be downright funny

I'm all for being drunk in a game!
I must admit, that was awesome in WoW for socializing and having fun in town.
And, it's a good warning for kids to show them how stupid they'll look if they drink too much.

Definitely:

• a blurred screen (at least, the edges);
• drunken character movements (the character can't walk straight, the drunker, the worst it gets);
• drunk emotes (character has difficulty standing still, facial expression of a drunkard, etc.)
• drunk text (auto-translate text that insert itself in your sentences, onomatopoeia for example)

What? You meant your endurance/stamina doesn't give you an edge over drinking contest? NO IMMERSION.

Kidding.

Some sort of drinking effect would be cool.

It was very well implemented in LoTRO (pipe-weed smoking was really cool too), they even had events centered around drinking games, like getting drunk in every inn of The Shire in a certain amount of time, you'd run from one inn to the next with your vision going to shit, it was a pretty awesome break from regular MMO activities.

So yeah, I would like to see that kind of thing in FFXIV. It doesn't take away anything and it can be fun.
