Planning to build underwater gameplay in 2.0

[Venat]

Just saw some images of bodys of water in Grindeeaa XD. Anyway was thinking is SE planning to start building underwater zones or some cool things in the water while there building 2.0. Then of course build some undertwater swiming and activate all these zones to real locations.

Plus water animation in the gameplay vid seems worse then its in the currect verision. All water running at the same animation. Hopefully they fix it.

I think we are getting air content first. Yoshi mentioned hes leaning towards that before going the water route.

He said that players like Sea more then Sky so he going to do Sea first but now it seem like he really just want to do Sky first i myself like both so i can't wait to see how it going to be.

He's said before that for the first expansion he's thinking of either Sea (something to do with swimming, boats, etc.) or Sky (airships and such). Recently he's stated that he's leaning towards fly-y stuff more.

EDIT: Thanos beat me to it.

Still want to be able to swim tho.

I really hope not.. under water stuff is the worst, I get enough of that crap in World of Warcraft.

Ultimately I think people have to stop analyzing the future of FFXIV 2.0 based on what limited video information me have now.

And no MMO has done Underwater content right. FFXI's underwater content was actually very much how you'd expect it to be in a FF game, some kind of underwater ruins. What ruins underwater content in MMOs tends to be the shitty swim mechanic.

You're right. We should go back to talking about grass.

Actually Dark Souls grass (pc and ps3) is pretty good looking, I think they apply some blur and/or aa to it. Very smooth. They should look into that, then higher end pcs can get ride of the pixel grass XD.
