    Would you guys like it if other rpgs have infinate arrows? Like skyrim for example. It takes away from the immersion, being able to fire infinite arrows. This game is based on realism with fantasy where fantasy needs to be.

    Sure you substitute poison arrows with abilities. Though, it would be a lot cooler if you could switch arrows during mid fight on the fly. Thus leaving out the pointless abilities and adding different abilities to the mix.

    It also leaves out a lot of other possibilities they could come up with. It's just pretty much tells me "yaaa, we think it's unfair that people have to buy arrows, we don't want you guys wasting gil! You guys already have millions, we don't want you to run out!"

    Arrows were inexpensive and they were also not a pain to keep in stock either.

    "OH MY INVENTORY IS BEING EATEN UP BY ARROWS!" You can have 999 arrows in a stack, so you are only going to take up a few inventory spaces when you go out to adventure. Also, with the new system invintory shouldn't be a problem, especially if they are able to give your chocobo inventory space where you can store some of you're equipment and finds.

    No, it's not "hard core" to buy arrows or to sell, what have you. It's a way to make money, it also keeps the "realism" that's left in the game, in check as well.
    FFXIV, any FF, besides early FFXI has never been about the hardcore. (there are usually hidden contents that are hardcore but thats like 2% of the entire game)

    And besides graphics no FF has ever really been about immersion.

    I would welcome a FF skyrim like game, but this and all their past games are not comparable to skyrim.

    You're kidding right, about FF being not immersive? HA, why do people like their stories so much? IT'S BECAUSE IT IMMERSES THEM! The graphics help with that.

    I go to a movie, because I want to leave this world and go to that world for a short time, I read a book to go into that world, I play a game to go into that world.

    The game, movie, book, is 100xs more enjoyable when you are immersed inside of it.

    I think we are going off different opinions of what immersion is. You mentioning arrows being finite as immersion makes me feel your opinion of immersion is not of mine. Rather then argue my opinion of immersion into yours I just used what I thought you thought of it lol.

    Because I like the story of Batman doesn't mean I feel like I was in there with him.

    Good story != Immersion.

    Like graphics != aesthetics

    Like I said perhaps a different word could be used for a better general understanding. But FF doesnt give a crap about following the laws of the real word, they are constantly giving the bird to real word laws.
