Influences from FFIX

[Kiote]

Soooo, Yoshida has decided a good idea for FFXIV would be to take some familiar kind of things from previous games in the series. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the Idea. I do think the Crystal Tower and Golden Saucer will be cool though.

That being said, since they are pulling things from previous games anyway, I would love to see them incorporate something like Summit Station from FFIX. I don't think it really needs to have anything to do with real content in the game. I just think it would be, visually, really cool to ride the cable car from the base of a Mountain to the Peak where there would be a small town-like area. Then have it Ride down the other side into an area that has a dramatically different environment from the starting side.

Of course they could implemented things built around it like having to unlock it through story progression or whatever and I definitely think there should be a dangerous walkable path through the mountains, but really I just want the visual. I think it would look really kool. That entire part of FFIX was definitely one of my Favorite in any of the series.

Wish I could find some pictures to do it justice

SPOILER ALERT!!! This is a video of the part of the game I'm talking about.
