Amazing AI

I was just soloing in WRon with a subjob and noticed while fighting a mob that the other animals in the area come running to watch the fight. I noticed this with the mandys in Windy, but I notice it now with other animals.
This is amazing! What other mmorpg gives you that kind of AI? And such good looking! These mobs arent looking off into space - they are watching the fight! This is what puts Final Fantasy over the top compared to Everquest, Asheron's Call and what was that new one out? World of War something or other?
Keep up the good work SE!

um... i think it might just be ur imagination :p I agree that it may sometimes LOOK like they're watching, but i highly doubt SE would put that in there, there is no reason. it would prolly make playing worse, becuz a gob will come over and "watch" and hey look its aggroing

When I play BST, I take bets from the surrounding mobs...

>_>

Okay, so it's more likely they just happened to line up like that for you =P

Yes but don't the Sheep AI eat grass or drink water, when they are near a pond or somethin, I remember hearing that long ago.

There's stuff like that in WoW. Lions will chase and kill deer, cats will chase after rabbits. Although I'm sure I saw a rabbit chasing a cat a few days ago. Didn't look right.

Never seen anything like it in FF though.

You should see the Ul'hpemde in Al'taieu. They pop up from underwater, and come over to nuzzle you like cute puppydogs, then wander away after a while.

It was supopsed to be that way, But Square removed it during Japanese Beta. Animals would wind up eating each other and leaving nothing to level on.

For example in beta there used to be mandras roaming in Pashow, the Gobues used to eat them.
In Jugner tigers ate sheep, But due to that and something else, I forgot what it was they took it out.

in a way a real ecology can only work in a MMO if they do it like WoW's or add animals specifically for background effects like they did in AO(Anarchy Online).

I remember in NA beta I went afk, my whole party died because Bloodtear Baldruf spawned ontop of them, when I came back I was alive because they had pulled it so far away. Oh the irony =P

What Koroco said, the AI is interesting. I wont go into detail of what type of mob it is. But there is a certain kind of mob that will follow you around if you get near it. They lose interest after all, just really kinda nosey, but its funny.
