It has to be pricy with long recast service to warrant not using them too much, I think this is obvious.

I'll say this again, if SE won't allow same sex marriages in Vana'diel they aren't going to allow transsexual mithras either.

This is so what I'd ask for too...as a side note, can I just disagree with anything Rog posts in general just for fun cuz he gets so worked up when ppl disagree?

an IQ test for players to keep their accounts, if you come up with less than a 120 permaban!

Make Isladar a mod on these forums.

wait..what?
Race change would be a service provided outside of game lore/environment, it wont be hindered or influenced by anything in game, I don't know why you put Vana'diel marriage and Race change on the same page...

..no there wont be a moogle/npc in Vana'diel that will change your race lol, that would be stupid.

A PS3 version with the graphic quality of XIV, and all new music tracks across the board by Uematsu. I'd pay $1,000 for that.

THIS. You don't want to submit anyone or anything else to crystal tools. Leave it to the guys that actually know how to make graphics engines.

For me, I'd pull out a little sheet of paper and tell him to do what's written on it. Written on my little paper would be:

-PC Client revamp
-Upgrade to at least Direct X9
-Red Mage melee update

If he told me I could get only one of those things, I'd go with the PC client revamp, but then ask him where the class balance guys are so I could have a little chat with them.

If I was given the power to change one thing that this company is being run, I would change the way they operate their GM services.

How many times have you called a GM and felt like your response is "Thank you very much for bringing this up, but since you are unimportant, we will ignore you until at least 50 people have called about the same thing, then we might investigate the problem you originally brought up, but until then, f*** off"

Because I feel like that almost every time I called a GM, and that is not often.

I don't expect new areas to magically appear from dropping PS2 support. What I COULD see happening are UI adjustments, potential alterations and optimizations to the engine itself, and things like the screwed up inventory system being consolidated. There's a lot of things completely unrelated to game content that they can't really change due to the PS2.

As far as money goes.. I wasn't aware this thread was meant to be at all realistic, what with given the fact we're talking about getting any one wish we want from a CEO of SE as if they were a genie.

But my Galka MNK alt has always wished he was a beautiful elvaan maid, wearing a simple homespun dress sitting in front of the spinning wheel humming to herself as she works while waiting for her woodcutter husband to return home and..

Sony's has a strict policy that PS2 to PS3 ports must receive a graphics update. It doesn't have to be state of the art for a PS3 game but it has to have improved textures, models and resolution. SE is not willing to do this so there will never be a PS3 native version of FFXI.

Better texture compression and particle effects didn't show up until Toau and it is really noticeable in the starting towns, Models, and older gear. even on our characters.

Pretty much aware that these things can't be changed, but any effort put forth to make the game better in general is still appreciated.

Use the settings in game to set resolution to 16:9, They need to update the game configuration utility to implement the 2048 x 2048 overlay. (You can do it just need to ediit the registry settings) Also need to fix the character select screen for the PC version to use the game's settings to display them.

I would ask them to give the dev team significantly more resources, so that they can afford to work on many of the suggestions they have turned down because "too many man-hours to do". Oh yeah, and also to let them work on a proper UI revamp. I probably think that's a bigger priority than actually improving the graphics, though both would be nice.

Also, if there should be any graphics engine update, it should be to unreal engine 2, because it runs on "anything", while still looking pretty good.

You aren't limited to 2048x2048, that was just a limitation of old graphics cards. For example I'm using 1360x768 for Overlay and 2720x1536 for Background. Ideally you should set Background to 2x Overlay for the best image quality.

My one wish that SE make it so I don't have to carry around 8 different staves for 1 job. BLM could get a staff that has the MAB and INT on it that would effect all spells instead of just one element. SMN has Behamut's staff but if you want the -5 perp cost you need 8 more. Why not just give us One staff for each job? Could make it a Magian Trail staff not to easy to get done. But yea... this would be my one wish. :)

I've all ready asked for duct tape, but if they make this said staff, I humbly ask it being named "Boomstick"
