An Eorzea that is more 'alive' and dynamic. - A suggestion for the future of Eorzea

That's hilarious ever since I heard croaking in Mun Tuy I always wondered there weren't frogs in the zone lol.

I'm not sure the conditions that it appears, but I once saw a frog sitting atop a rock inside a stream outside of Gridania.

Yup, and theres atleast 2 in Mor'Dhona, 1 near Brittlebark camp & 1 near Dodore pop.
If im not mistaken they pop when it rains, cuz i dont remember seeing them around when there's no rain.

Hey guys! We spoke to Producer Yoshida and he likes your ideas about bringing more life to Eorzea and will be looking into them further. Currently the development staff is preoccupied with fixing systems with high priority so these ideas will take a little longer to be implemented but please look forward to it.

What other ideas do you have that would make Eorzea feel more alive? ^_^

The greatest news for me. Thanks so much for your efforts.


Sorry for repost it but i think this post belongs also here:

I think the interactivity with the world is fundamental to complete the immersive atmosphere. For example, if they'll add some ruins around, it would be nice to explore them and actually find something (an item for crafting or some antiquites to sell to a special -archeology- vendor). Or in the same manner, we could find some secret/hidden places in which we could find some kind of items (randomly maybe). An example could be, you find an unique spring in a cave and you can take that 'special water' for crafting (cooking or alchemy) or stuff. Another thing i'll love is the possibility to make campfire around or lightup those already on the ground.

I think a living world is also a world in which we can interact with its parts (to not result a 'scenography' only).


edit: btw, very nice ideas guys and gals! Love all of them.

If someone can please post the Aion vision trailer for me :3 this trailer has what Lau/lua wants which is dynamic weather effects. Honestly it looks cool.
My suggestions to make earozea alive.

dynamic weather and mobs. Like in WoW wolves would ocassionally attack a bunny. Something to that effects. add a simple (and i know this is doable) water dampening effect on our character like when it rains or when we run through rivers. where our gear looks wet and drips for a few seconds.
I would actually like to see swiming don't need to be far or deep. Like have a beach area where we can dress in cute swim outfits and enjoy swimming around in them. the reason for this is when lalafell run in a river that is over their heads they swim a second to get buy. I would also like to see when carrigages are finally put in that players can see the carrages on the roads.and wave to it. Lastly I would like to see actual housing zones where we see the houses. (mabinogi did this as well as Aion(well tried to) )

[Kilta_Firelotus]

that players can decorate (housing fyi) and have the funishings be usable. And we can use these houses for places to craft. Like we can by stoves for cooking, spinning wheel for weaving or a loom. I also would like to have more usable furnature in the game world. deffy wouls make eorzea feel more alive are character animations for say and shout. similar but better looking in WoW. Make it so we are talking through our character nit just in a box on the screen. I much rather look at other peoples character then a box on the screen.

I totally approve that Kilta! That would add some feeling of interaction with other characters, which would be really awesome!

Totally agree with you on this, ive been looking forward & hoping for this since beta.

I truly hope they add some kinda of housing much like FFXI, in wich we can decorate with our crafted items.
And...maybe even use them, like sit on the chairs, have guildhouse gatherings where we can sit down and
drink beer and... um.. my bad...um... discuss future pillagin... errr common goals lol

Another little idea,
i would love to see unique constellations in the sky during the night. Maybe some could be represent the Twelve, others mithycal FF creatures (leviathan, bahamuth, etc.). And maybe every zone could have some differences (for example in Coerthas we could see 'Halone' (guardian of Ishgard) and in La Noscea 'Llymlaen' (guardian of Limsa Lominsa) and so on). It would add atmosphere during the night time. Some could give you some benefits (example if you are under your -choosen in the chara creation- Guardian constellation in that moment). Maybe also adding constellations maps in game, depending on where you are.

ffxi did this also and even had a star map to point them out.

I may also link a vid on WoW to demonstrate how better chat animation look with characters vs just stone silent dolls.
