More enterable buildings, please!

There is a bar in FFXI called the Marble Bridge Eatery in Upper Jeuno where every in-game day the entry requirements change. Sometimes only BLM, sometimes only people from Bastok, sometimes only ladies. For some reason I go in there whenever I can, even if it's empty. It's just a fun silly thing that I enjoy from that game and I would love it if FFXIV had more small little dumb places like that.

Mao is kinda nosy. If Mao sees door, Mao needs see what behinds door. Too many doors nots openable. Mao sad.

I find it really dissapointing walking into a big city hub, a small town or other location and having almost all the buildings shut. Not only from a roleplaying perspective, but from a immersion point of view.

They did an amazing job sprinkling little points of interest and small empty camps everywhere in the world along with the general scenery, making it seem alive. But the houses still need some work, and while you're at it, make the explorer dungeon / possible raid in the future - timer unlimited.

It's not on the level of ARR for sure, but I do find they did a lot of effort this expansion comparatively to the previous ones for that. I'm relatively happy with it myself.

I have one question for all that want to go in alle houses and rooms:

Do you can do it in real life? Are all doors in your neighborhood open? Would the people that live in the houses not call the police if you go in them? Why should a game work differently?

I'd do it if I saved multiple continents as well as the entirety of space.

I praise Dawntrail for giving us more explorable areas overall; I have yet to explore all the zones but so far it's been better than past expansions.

Wasn't an issue in A realm reborn. Logically, in the world of ffxiv entering buildings/house is normal in said world.

I mean, I can't run a long distance without having an asthma attack in real life, doesn't mean I don't want to be able to sprint in game.

I guess, the game could run slower if more buildings would have open doors. That's the reason why many buildings are instanced and you get a loading screen if you click on the white spot in front of a door.

Of course not in real life! lol But games in general, and FF in particular, have a history of hiding treasure chests in NPC spaces, finding items in NPC closets, or placing little clues or story tidbits to find. Just like you can read passages of books laying around in dungeons, it would be cool to find little stuff like that out in the world, especially new zones where you’re just getting to know the area and the locals.

And yet for the Reaper job and Rogue class, there is also "just a guy out front". Just saying, this is ridiculous.

Probably not the point you were trying to make, but I was kinda disappointed that Pictomancer didn’t get a true guild hall. I know they haven’t done that in ages, but when they said they were going to start in Gridania, and you see all those unused round buildings everywhere that could have been turned into a cute little art studio… Ul’dah is a little more subtle with its un-enterable places, where you can’t really gauge how much space might be behind one of those “no entry” doors. But still, sticking Viper outside the Weaver’s guild in the hallway… Reaper at least had a room for the head honcho iirc.

It’s just funny that all the new jobs are brought in by traveling NPCs, and none of them ever decide to stick around and open up shop anywhere! lol I could see the fetch quest now: have 3 NPCs sign this petition to get permission from the local Grand Company to open a formal guild hall in (insert city here).
