I'm relatively new to this game as in I just completed a free trial and decided to pay for 30 days since I enjoy the game enough, and am a lifelong Final Fantasy fan (and Dragon Quest for that matter). I really hope you read the following suggestions and take them seriously.
1) Controllable sea and air mount. Obviously it would be impractical to give players control over the boat or ship lol so I propose give the chocobo the ability to swim and fly. If it can free roam on land there is no reason why we cant have the ability to free roam the sea and sky. Naturallly there would be some quest to obtaining this privilege, maybe a BST only privilege (although i would prefer it to be available to all jobs). Maybe you could breed chocobos like in FF7 until you got a certain colour which could swim, then fly, or both. (Eg the gold chocobo from previous ffs). Maybe you could level the chocobo to 99 and it learns to swim at 30 and fly at 60? I suppose this is purely from an aesthetical point of view of how cool it would look and the fun factor, but they could also create an expansion with cities in the sky, or places in sealed mountain ranges etc to make it have more purpose. All the previous ffs did this via a controllable airship late game. Imagine how cool it would be with the graphics and world of this game to free roam the sea and sky with your chocobo.
2) Change jobs on the go please. Maybe place a mog at the entrance to dungeons which allow this, or just have the option available on the view house menu when outside towns. I might want to teleport-dem myself (instead of shouting for it) and then change to mnk/war straight away. Obviously all buffs would reset etc. They did it with accessing items on the go so I dont see why they couldnt with this
3) Voice Acting. Cutscenes in any game are odd without voice acting. Imagine a film with no sound its just stupid. It kind of lessens the experience for me.
4) Make the quest logs more detailed. Some of them are really vague and its very easy to forget what the finer details of the quest were if you flagged it days, or months ago.
5) Have more slots on the Auction House. 7 is pathetic. Maybe 20? Obviously this would increase the delivery box too but that would be a good thing. Also include a search function so you dont have to trawl through the lists searching for some item. Also increase the amount of items you can sens to another player to 20. Maybe you could create a series of quests similiar to the gobbiebag ones to obtain more slots for these things?
6) Make it possible to trade as many stacks as possible all at once to the guy in selbina (millioncorn, la thiene cabbage, boyahda moss). It takes far too long and is tedious as hell trading him millioncorn
7) Have a home point warp on all field manuals, not just dungeon ones. A little annoying I have to go to home nation when I want to go to Home Point
8) Include a Beastiary. Would be great to be able to check detailed info on monsters regularly. Also give us a feature to freely listen to the music of this game. Maybe have a BRD quest to unlock the various pieces from your homepoint on a grammaphone or something lol, or just even simpler once youve visited an area its unlocked.
19) Crafting. When you join a guild have the npcs sell recipe scrolls or quest them. There is absolutely no clue in the game how to craft anything and i find it strange as a player youre forced to read a faq to find this out.
10) Include more chat commands. There are several emotions etc ive tried that dont work because obviously theyre not programmed in to the game. This would be more fun
I hope to hear from you soon,
