What features from TERA, would you like to see added to this game?

OP, I think if you remove the word 'TERA' from the post, I believe you'll get much better respond.

I was making a point. People have threads asking for things from FFXI like it's the only game with any substance. And that's not true. If I have to remove the word TERA from the title just so people can listen to my points and give them a fair hearing, then that's a sad indictment on the state of the final fantasy community, no?

because FFXI is FF....esque, due tot he fact it is FF. The franchize is how it is because they do their own thing and stay on their own streamline.

Um, I haven't even played Tera, and I doubt any of us have, I think the Only thing I would say is even more character customization since Tera's character creation is very..customizable.

No, if you stopped trolling and added something useful to the conversation we wouldn't slam everything you mention. There's no reason for you to start a thread comparing games that have nothing to do with Square-Enix with FFXIV. If we wanted to play WoW clones like Rift and TERA, we would be playing them. We do NOT want SE to copy Blizzard or "KoreanMMOgrindfestproducer10,325".

So it's safe to assume you know nothing about TERA whatsoever if you throw it into the same category as RIFT and WoW. Therefore you, sir, are the anti-discussion and a troll.

TERA introduces MANY, MANY things that are completely game-changing for the MMO genre -- no matter if you like the game itself or not -- so if you'd like to act as if you have an opinion on the matter it helps to know about what you're arguing first.

While I do see your point, I just think that if you bring the idea up without referring to other MMO you would get a better respond than... No, No No No, Hell No!, etc.

well, on your topic, i do agree with long story questlines with voiced cutscenes and group-oriented quests but jump and swim? that doesn't sound so Final Fantasy to me.

I do think that the community is a bit xenophobic to spam this thread with "OMG NO" instead of just not participating in the discussion if they don't like it. I mean that's what this thread is for one way or another: discussion.

I think it's probably too late in the development to add voiced cutscenes, as that's something that SW:TOR alone poured 300 billion dollars into, but I would be for it. It was disappointing to see that FFXIV didn't even provide some middle-ground between FFXI and other MMOs in regards to that and that cutscenes were simple text-text-text-text again.

Honestly the only prominent feature I've seen in TERA so far is the skin shown :P

The political stuff sounds interesting at first sight, but it's been implemented a lot in MUDs a long time ago, with much smaller/manageable communities, and also in RF online.

In every single case I experienced it, it turned into a massive source of Drama from which I would gladly steer clear.

Drama is good though!

Well sorry that everyone is so insecure, but it's not my responsibility to molly coddle them.

I think swimming and jumping aren't so removed from FF, as FFX, FFX-2, and FFXIII all had renditions of one or the other. Besides, you have to look at this as an MMO first and a FF second. At some point, one of the final fantasy sets the precedent for the others.

As I said earlier, Final Fantasy X included swimming though most FF games don't. One day, Final Fantasy XIV is going to have to make a similar progressive step to make itself an interesting, immersive world, even if it means breaking tradition. If it breaks tradition, it can always start its own, as did many FF titles before it.
