What would you love to see in ARR?

[Dannythm]

So I opened the blitzball and yoshi-p appreciation threads at the same time so, I got this really simple idea:

Why don't we make a single and unique thread to post all what we'd love to see in ARR? So the devs and PR team only have to browse this and see a suggestion and how much likes it has to consider or ponder on it.

So as starting thread I'll list what comes to mind that I have seen in the forums already posted, then when the people who made their original purpose post in here detailing the suggestion, I will link the list element with the suggestion post, so we have an index that's easy to follow and know what suggestions have already been made, to avoid double posting. Also of course every new suggestion will be added and linked with the others.

So on to the content list:

• Viera race.
• Ronso as a playable race.
• Blitzball sport.
• Triple Triad/Tetra Master/card game.
• Flying mounts/sky content.
• Underwater mounts/content.
• Seasons and visible changes over time on the world.
• Vendor NPC's schedules and/or timetables.
• Moving NPC's.
• Snurble mount.
• Crafting/gathering "raids" (content to be tacked by several crafters/gatherers).
• Crafting "relics".
• Mounted combat.
• New Hairstyles from time to time.Built option for females, not just bust size.
• Gilgamesh and his own quest-line.
• Non insanced player housing with airship docks.
• FATE Style Helmet Defense.
• More old FF places tied with the storyline.
• Monster in a box
• Active block/parry
• Scaaa~ry night time.Torches.
• Capes.
• More foods! (Bacon,coffee,etc.)Alcohol
• Tonberries enemies.Or friends?
• Large scale events like the end of 1.0
• Dune-like giant worms in the desserts.
• Challenging storyline.
• The four gods appareance.
• Better materia system.
• More kids NPC's.
• Bring back Biggs and Wedge!
• Hunting Guild
• Escalating quest system.
• FFXI Armors and clothing.
• Reworked Petrify effect.

Game features list:

• Multi monitor support
• Wii U release
• Smartphone apps
• Oculus support
• Offline Video Tutorials
• Permanent Death Servers/no death achievement
• PS Vita Release
• In-game Voice Chat.
• Reworked PlayOnline.

This is all we got for now, please help me unify and expand the list and make this post the reference it's meant to be.! I hope you guys are up to this.

Hiya, blitzball person here. You can quote my thread / link or whatever.

I have another one for you. How about kicking over your crafting table.. It would just be a visual thing and have no benefit. It'd be hilarious to see someone fail an important recipe, then get angry and flip their table. lawl.

I really like this idea! Then the developers could have a concrete list to work with instead of a bunch of threads that die, then resurface, then die... etc.

Umm... I'll just throw a few things out of the noggin. (Edited to expand a bit)


Player-owned flyable Airships with non-instanced housing and Airship docks located at each of the three major city-states. Let players take to the skies with their friends using player and guild airships. The airship system could introduce a new character, one of Cid's colleagues. The tutorial would also serve as a questline based on the character and his/her past with Cid.

There would be a customization system based on different ship types. Individual players would have access to smaller airship types, Linkshells would have access to medium-sized airship types (ones meant for small groups), and Free Companies, once leveled up sufficiently, could work together to buy a super-expensive Guild Airship, which could serve as both a means of mass transport and as a base of operations, a hang-out, etc.

The usage of a guild airship could be for any reason the guild wants. There would be settings for entry and exit, as well as an automatic route loop the airship can go with systems put in place to prevent airships from hitting each other in that automatic loop. This system could potentially let Guild Airships travel the skies of the three city-states before docking for an hour and leaving back to the skies. Then, these airships could be used as public transportation, and depending on the use, even serve as a hang-out for all players. Like the Golden Saucer in the sky.

Customization would include the usual chairs, couches, etc. But it would also include olde-fashioned pools, thrones, and mini-games that players can participate in whilst they travel the skies with the winds at their backs. Different ship types would give access to different customization items. Ex: Most single-player airships will be pretty small, only giving outside space and little room on the inside. Can't really fit a throne into that... while Guild Airships would have a gigantic inner area to customize at will.

Players can use these airships to explore floating islands and stuff.


New hairstyles released every few months. Gotta give that barber a use! Then, over the span of a few years, there could be a large, immense amount of player customization and individuality.

Gilgamesh... and with his own questline. I wanna know more about the Void. Don't really know how to go into detail regarding that.

Added a Emotes list as I forsee tons of suggestions about that.

Sounds good, please elaborate a bit more so the devs can get better your suggestions =)

I'm looking forward very much to all the elements from other parts from the FF series:
Gold Saucer, Magitek, Crystal Tower etc.

a must is also a gunblade weapon and triple triad.

what i'd really like to see is if the storyline can offer an opportunity to actually visit some famous original places from the prequels.
maybe just some fragments you know and not necessarily at the time when the story actually took place.
some kind of time-dimension hopping that f*cked up stuff you know what i mean...

Elaborated. Edited my post.

I was the one that made the infamous thread on permanent death servers.. It got loads of hate (some support ^___^) but instead I got an idea from one of the replies that I think no one should have a problem with.

When you create a character, your name is a certain color (golden?) and it lasts until you die. You don't lose your character that way, no need for additional servers, and masochistic people can try to keep their character golden! Alternatively, at least have achievements for not dying and reaching 50

Or maybe with the power of the echo...? I like that! Recall the balamb garden when it was the academy for the allgeans (I can dream) or something like that... Ohhh!! Echo instances and raids! Let Cid invent a device to synchronize thee cho power of several adventurers so they can join in a single memory to see some important event together or something like that...
