    At least "not now because complicated" is a lot better than "no because balance."

    Wouldn't mind it if Blue chests had 3 different graphics for temp items/time/soothing light, if red chests had a different graphic for each kind of light they had inside, and if gold chests had a different graphic for temp items, items and powerful items.

    That's not a bad idea either.

    They could make the smallers chest contain familiar stone fragments, exp and cruor, then add larger blue chests for temp items and intense soothing light. Generally, we all want all the cruor and time extensions as we can get, so with these being in one kind of blue chest, we would be able to just pop these as fast as we can without checking them. If a big blue chest popped, however, we'd know that they could contain ISL or temps, and popping them would be done when it was most tactical to do so.


    Maybe the red chests could be still be red, but with a glowing effect of the same color as the light inside them. The strength of the light could be reflected in the size of the chest. You could put the same glow effect as you use on avatars on them, perhaps. After all, when you check them, the game tells you that "the chest is aglow with an insertcolor light". If it truly is aglow with such a light, why can't the game just show us the glow graphically?

    Why not make it peer through the cracks automatically?
    Whenever you examine a chest, it could say the same dialogue as if you were to peer, without ever selecting anything in the menu. I don't see why it wasn't done this way to begin with.

    To be honest, the big blue chest idea for intense soothing light is fantastic. That would alleviate much of the frustration of people mistakenly popping those when other people need them.

    As far as red chests are concerned, I think big red chests for Ebon, Gold, and Silver would make sense, and normal sized for Azure, Pearl, Amber and Ruby would be okay. Sure I would also prefer a glowing effect representing the color but it seems like that might be too difficult to implement with everything else being worked on.

    I think with the big blue and red chests, people would at least have an idea what is inside, similar to how large gold ones might contain key items, or very good temps, or very good augmented items.

    In our wake will be smoke fire and burnt charred remains of those that have fell before us, We will not remember their names, as they are no more, the next challenge, the next horizon is what we strive for and Demand it be met with Ferocity, We Grin at the Possibility of death, Fear no Mob that walks Vana'diel or it's Realms, there is no tomorrow, there is only now, For pride, for honor, for Glory We are The Knights of Pegasus.
