Underwater Exploration?

[Akujin]

I'm actually really ok with swimming options, but underwater combat options give me pause. I played GW2 for awhile during the final days of XIV cause there wasn't really anything there to keep me going otherwise (Honestly the only thing I was interested in was Relic and that quest and I just wasn't happening at the time). Swimming was fun, going underwater was neat as well, but the combat was horrendous. I realize XIV is taking options out of other games in the genre and they would look at games such as WoW and GW2 and how they did underwater content to plan their own - So if you do..please, please, either tweak it so that it isnt a punishment to do combat underwater. Or create content that doesn't involve combat at all.

They should only put swiming to reach some underwater dungeon when you get then you talk to the guy and get in the dungeon in a underwater cavern but the cavern is not filled of water you just walk in it.

Leviathan underwater battle would be fun like first half is land then he does flood. Just like how ifrit would do hellfire then it goes from land to underwater battle

But knowing SE and yoshi-p i bet they make it a boring fight like normal Ifrit.

I heard something about an underwater environment, but I don't think this would involve swimming (e.g. jumping into the water from Limsa Lominsa). I also personally wouldn't want it... I don't think swimming necessarily suits FF games and seeing everyone in robes just wading around would be an odd sight.

Just my opinion~

Please add "drowning" if you don't take off armor before jumping in.
