#wheres the joy in exploring when you cant even see treasures on the ground

[captainadwen]

One thing that I'm going to give ffxv a solid 7/10 is on organic exploring / i.e. making its pseudo open worls map an interesting place where you want to wander around, which it does well approximately 50% of the time (I admit tho I am only in ch4)

When it does it well my favorite activity in game is, tbh, is jumping on a chocobo and running around. I just discovered a castle dungeon + old royal tomb that are a pair (i.e. the sword in the tomb got robbed and is now in the dungeon) and I'm super curious to check it out despite probably being underleveled. I love finding little lakes. I love the weird creatures that are not enemies. I like when they leave little treasures in hard to reach areas

The rest of the time tho it just feels like a whole lot of nothing meant only for admiring from the car, and if you do go out there nothing in particular changes that impression
