Steampunk Phantom Train まれっしゃ - NM idea - Quest ideas - alternative transportation

Just try to imagine:

All cities connected with old railways tracks (G > LL would be underground)and there are a couple small train stations in between.

sometimes at night... there would be a thick fog and you would hear a distant train horn that almost sound like a howling beast.
Then you know... the phantom train is coming!
The train would materialize at a random station somewhere on the world map and let people board the wagons.
Then the train would take off and take you to the next station but during the ride you will have to fight mobs and NM.



The train wagons could have rank restrictions, 10-20, 20-30 and so on..

Needless to mention that the train interior, despite being spooky, dusty and full of spiderwebs would be spacious and beautifully decorated in a very old and classic style. you would hear a fitting music as well.

Also there could be a lot of sub quests to get specific items in order to enter the train, such as train tickets and special coins to call out specific NM.

Once the train reaches the destination (maybe in 10-15 min) it will disappear again.

make it instanced so the graphics would be better

[Randis]

once on the train it would be instanced

Very cool, these are the ideas i would expect from SE! Reminds me of FF6!

Only if its pulled by chocobos and managed by a lalafell named chuck.

[Randis]

it's a steam engine powered train, it does not have to be pulled by chocobos...

Does anyone else think this is a good way to put Doom Train in?

Honestly adding doom train as a quest and/or transportation would be awesome! Maybe a way to travel to Ishgard? (as the airships can easily travel between the 3 main cities)

I think adding doomtrain with a makeover to make it more FFXIV-esque would be great!
