Particularly "RPG-ish" side-content

[Kabooa]

It'd be kind of neat if each job / class had its own little side content it could do that both fleshed out the world and lore as a bonus. Like Thaumaturges brought in to do funeral stuff or handle voidsent cases, Gladiators traveling to do prize fights, that sort of thing.

Repeatable, randomized "job quests' I suppose.

hmmmyes. but it's impossible to have any trust in FFXIV devs for this. They'd just put 2-3 insignificant gimmicks on some new quests to fill a gauge and call it a brand new system.

Yeah... they have a hard time making the job gauges actually fun... they could bring back TP to use over the job gauges or they could actually try to make the job gauges fun because DRK is the most obvious offender for having the least fun job gauge(s) and the least fun overall now due to MP basically being rare on DRK and then you look at PLD which doesn't even have MP issues...

In other RPGs this might include things like Feather Fall and Portal spells (though the Aetheryte system and inability to die to fall damage make those moot here)

Taking a long fall might not kill you outright in FFXIV but it can still leave you with 1 HP. If you happen to land next to an enemy and it decides to immediately poke you with a stick, you'll die. I can easily imagine a dungeon where a feather fall -like spell or artifact allows the party to take a shortcut which would otherwise be too dangerous.

You know what FF14 REALLY needs? Quest sharing.
