Honestly, personally, the only things I would change.
1.) Fix the game so it’s more playable.
-Gamepad useable without needing to be plugged in.
-Fix the camera so it doesn’t bounce off the walls.
2.) Fix the game so that trusts and enemies do not “get inside” of the player so that you can always “see” the enemy to perform a weapon skill. (And trusts don’t sit and spin on top of your character.)
3.) Make the UI 100% customizable.
-Everything needs an option to be turned off and can auto-hide.
-Damage numbers should be able to be adjusted so you only see your numbers popping up, including auto-attacks.
-Allow me to turn off any “indicators” or “telegraphs” as well as “New Challenge” text, and sound, and revert it to the chat log only. Also allow me to turn off the glowing stuff on the floor for quest markers. (All of this stuff is okay for a person that is brand new to video games, but they are a major eye sore to me and 100% unnecessary.)
4.) Maybe (big maybe) include just a proper quest journal to keep track of where I am in a quest.
5.) An option to toggle which NPC’s offer quests, and having a quest marker. Constantly seeing a quest over a NPC’s head is also a major eye sore. But knowing which ones could be useful to everyone.
6.) Fix enemy “can’t draw weapon to attack” animation lock.
-This doesn’t really “bother” me, but it would be nice if when enemies are attacking you, you can at least always draw your weapon without having animation lock. It’s simple enough to draw your weapon while still moving then stop and draw quick before you’re overwhelmed (how I currently deal with this issue) but learning that took some time, and it is kind of silly you get locked at all from drawing your weapon.
7.) Add a crafters hall.
-A place where you can access all crafters guild items, ephemeral moogle, Mog garden monster shop, and Auction house so crafters have a central place to craft.
I think that’s it.
I enjoy everything else about the game.
I enjoy the massive REMA grinds, I appreciate how not everyone has one, I appreciate literally everything else about this game, and it’s why I enjoy it so much.
I don’t actually think they are doing a remaster or remake, just saying why I like this game over what else is offered in the current world.
If I wanted to play other “not FFXI” games I would, but I don’t cause FFXI is almost exactly what I’m looking for in a game. It’s nearly perfect.
