FFXIV Live Letter VI General Discussion

[KiriA500]

People really dislike immersion and "having to wait" in MMORPGs these days and sadly all you're doing while on an Airship or Boat is "waiting" while taking in beautiful scenery. There's no room for that in a 2013 MMO!

Well, the boat is going to be the same as it was in 1.0 (according to them), which you had to wait for. I just don't understand why we can't have the airship function the same way! It's not like it would have to load the whole world...just a smaller version just for the airship ride!



Life is so unfair!

The magitek armour, with Terra's theme, Biggs, Wedge and Terra piloting the machines... best part of the Live letter for me!
I really hope they all make it into the final version of the game!! xD
Would be so epic.

N.B.: At the very least, Terra's theme song with the magitek! :O

It's about priorities. Creating a unique zone of open world "graphics" is not good use of their resources atm when that's all it is. Just fluff that would most likely take a month or 2 to get just right. Things like boat trips and airship rides which actually take time to go through, actually take time to make. It's not as easy to make as you might think and it's not a luxury they have to make at this point in time. They have more important things to worry about that focus more on the content of the game rather than creating wide open but zones empty of any game content.

Okay, since there wasn't much holding stuff up this time I took a whole lot of 'scenic' shots, so here goes. (Note there is a image limit on posts so this may take a bit

If another person mentions that GD'd word "immersion" again, I am going to set something on fire. Just because one person thinks something is immersive, doesn't mean someone else does. Those are personal things, not universal qualities. And a lot of people are more concerned about having fun or game play, than being "immersed."

Personally, for the moment if there isn't actual content (such as possible fights, quests or some such) to go into the airship flights, I'd rather they not waste the time doing them. Add them later once the main content is done.

Do you have any pics of that Lalafell monument? That was spectacular, and I'm sure all of the Lalafell can rejoice!

Yes, on page 4. Those are all the pictures I took, hope it satisfies your curiosity until a version is released
