IF the CEO of Square Enix willing to grant you one wish to change something in FFXI

[Vold]

Updated PC client. Ultima Online got an update 10 years after it's release and it had less than 100k subscribers. I'm not interested in any excuse they could ever come up with. If they don't want to do it, fine. Tell us so we can stop asking for it and decide whether or not it's worth continuing to dish out millions of dollars to them every month for seemingly nothing but time sinks. Updating your graphics goes a long ways with people.

I'd add an hairstylist NPC and update the game regularly with new hairstyles and colors!

Extend "Items Inventory" from 80 to 99. That would make me stupidly happy. But yeah, that means dropping PS2 support. So bleh.

My first pick would be drop FFXIV and pump everything into a FFXI-2 (HD, all same content and zones) so that they can push a PS3 release to allow new content and increase the lifespan.

if thats excessive

Then a new set of WS so i can acully use different weapons rather than just emperyans.

If I got to wish for one thing, it would probably be 5 atmas available everywhere. It is so much easier to equip a few atmas out of a good selection, than to try and get SE to make armors and weapons that aren't total failure.

I'd really want Summoner fixes, but when you know how terrible they usually are, it is better to ask for more of what SE did right than less of what they did wrong.

Let WHM equip Corselet and Corselet +1. ;3

At the very least they should update to DirectX 9, get rid of the background/overlay settings in favor of a common resolution and add 60fps and MSAA support. This would not be hard, it's the kind of thing you'd hand to an intern for a coupled months.

If they ever did to a full graphics update though I'd hope they would license an outside Engine like CryEngine or whatever rather than using Crystal Tools.

Better yet, license the Source engine for a graphics and client update and integrate FFXI completely with Steam with all subscriptions, expansions, updates and sales of the game happening via the Steam interface. VAC (Valve Anti-Cheat) would also raise the stakes considerably for cheaters because if you are banned from online in one Steam game you are banned from online in all Steam games. And also, VAC is very, very good at catching cheaters.

Race change.
inb4.. but then we CAN'T identify your race after stealing your ls bank and jumped servers!!!!!!


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

If I had one wish, it would be to change the Chloris pop system, to be more consistent in both time and effort compared to others such as Briarius and Carabosse.

9 (4 if you dish out a few hundred k buying pops) NMs compared to 2 or 3, that's not even remotely equal.

Edit: Or just add NMs to Bri/Cara paths, I'd love to float a raft down a river of SAM and NIN tears.
