[GM Feedback] Sarjoonyeligh

shoryukenpizza — Fri, 29 May 2026 18:02:47 GMT

As promised, I wanted to leave GM Sarjoonyeligh feedback for handling my report.

The GM assisted with my issue quite promptly after making the report. They also waited for me to finish eating my meal to further discuss the situation. Furthermore, they validated my feelings and stated that a thorough investigation will happen. Lastly, they apologized for the situation and wished me farewell and good luck.

Thank you.

Playable Beast Races?

Evandale — Thu, 28 May 2026 12:22:26 GMT

Since we've knocked out all of the main playable races so far, would it be possible to get playable beast races in the future? Not only would it likely help for having more customizable NPCs in the future it would be cool seeing more variety around, imagine having moogle tanks and kobold mages in your party. I dunno, I just think it would be awesome!

Pirates!

Crystan — Wed, 27 May 2026 07:39:57 GMT

Hey, I just wanna say I would love to see a couple of things in the future please S-E!

We're a "Pirate" FC on 14 and I make music videos (and ff11 guides) on my YT channel and I really would love to see the following:

* some pirate themed type mounts! How can there be no boats? lol
* better band emotes:
* A drumming emote!! <-- I had to use AI to make an armoured lalafel drummer in my last video lol Can we get a drumkit?
* A microphone or a microphone on a stand and simple singing emote?

Just a couple of suggestions for now but pleeeeeeeeeeease XD

Being unable to region swap is unacceptable.

Mikki — Sat, 23 May 2026 02:34:01 GMT

I would really like Square Enix to reconsider the lack of account/store region migration for FFXIV.

I created my account while living in the US but moved to Japan awhile after. Many years ago, I asked if I could swap my store region and was met with "create a new account" which is not a realistic solution. As such, for years now, my account has been locked to the US region, so I am forced to pay in USD even though I live in Japan. With the exchange rate, this has become increasingly unreasonable.

As I mentioned already, the usual answer from support seems to be “create a new account,” but that is not a real solution for long-term players. It would mean losing years of purchases, characters, mounts, optional items, achievements, subscription history, and account progress - not to mention your house, if you have one along with all pre-order items.

I understand why Square Enix may not want people freely switching regions to chase lower prices, but a controlled system could solve that: proof of residence, long cooldown for swapping regions, or manual support review. Heck, I would even be alright paying a fee to swap regions like you do for League of Legends, for example.

People move countries. FFXIV is a long-running MMO with players who have been subscribed for years. There really should be a legitimate path for those players to update their account/store region without losing everything and it upsets me that more noise isn't made about this issue.

Just wanted to thank Gm Liaximejulae for taking some time out to reply to a report I made and ask me a few questions. Always nice when a person gets back to you instead of getting the automated ticket reply

Suggestion - Add fishing logs to lodestone and/or companion app

Ciary — Mon, 18 May 2026 12:03:10 GMT

On the lodestone website you can find a lot of ingame statistics of your character. Like acquired minions and mounts, current currencies, your full inventory, all your achievements and quests, your friendlist, all your jobs, pvp information, your trust levels and even your current cactpot numbers

But one thing I'm severely missing is your crafting and gathering logs. Especially the fishing log! I'm actually a little bit surprised it's not there.
If you are into Big Fish, having access to what fish you have already caught outgame would be very welcome. It would allow for more planning and strategizing even when not actively playing. You could be thinking about what fish you might be going for when you play next and see what other fish you haven't caught yet. with the other tools already available to fishers you can immediately see what you can do and what is impossible. This something you would otherwise need to be ingame for and need to start crossreferencing. It limits the time in which you are actually doing something.

I think the fishing log could be a good addition to the Lodestone. Having the information there would definitely help fishers actively pursuing big fish or other fishing completionist goals

Suggestion - Armoire Feature "Dress for Battle"

Ozwelle — Thu, 14 May 2026 04:15:48 GMT

Hello,

I'm the kind of player who prefers to wear the artifact armor of the jobs I play, and with the recent ability to store artifact armor in the armoire I thought of a hypothetical feature to allow players to wear artifact armor on the jobs they want while saving glamour plates for other outfits. Tentatively I am calling it "dress for battle."

The idea is to add an interaction with the armoire to "dress for battle" for the combat job the player has equipped at the time of interaction. This would automatically glamour the player in the highest-level artifact armor for that job that is stored in the armoire without linking their gearset to a glamour plate. The player would not be able to switch individual items or use dyes; it would simply be a system to wear gearsets stored in the armoire without assigning that set to a glamour plate.

There could be settings to apply this feature over an existing linked glamour plate under certain conditions, such as when entering a duty or FATE, or to "dress for battle" on multiple jobs, or to disable the "dress for battle" feature when a glamour plate is subsequently linked to the player's gearset. It could even be possible to assign other completed gearsets stored in the armoire, such as dungeon armor or seasonal outfits, rather than artifact armor.

I wonder if I'm alone in preferring to wear the beautiful outfits the designers worked to make rather than come up with my own glamours. I also wonder if the "dress for battle" feature is at all feasible, or less costly than simply adding glamour plates. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thank you.

Please for the love of Rhalgr let us mute people in CC PVP

Stormfur — Wed, 13 May 2026 19:10:32 GMT

Nice job! Nice job! Nice job!
Push the crystal! Nice job! Nice job!
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Hello. Hello. Hello. Push the crystal!

It's fine once or twice. Either auto-mute them after that or let us do it. Even if you blacklist you can still hear the whinging beeps.

Option to toggle the arena effect in Promathia

Kirutsuki — Tue, 12 May 2026 19:56:44 GMT

From hotfixes:

In Windurst: The Third Walk, the appearance of the battlefield during the battle against Promathia has been updated.

Please let us choose for ourselves in the graphics options. I really don't like the new arena at all, it ruins the effect it's supposed to have.

If people got motion sickness from it that's understandable, but please let us choose.

add steam and switch pro controller support

papandbuddyg — Sun, 10 May 2026 16:17:57 GMT

I would like to suggest adding official support for the Steam Controller and Nintendo Switch Pro Controller in Final Fantasy XIV. Many players enjoy playing FFXIV on PC using controllers, but currently, only Xbox and PlayStation controllers are fully supported. Players using Steam or Switch Pro controllers must rely on third-party software and custom configurations, which can be less reliable and more cumbersome.

I think supporting these controllers would benefit so many players I personally love the capabilities of the steam controller and the comfort of the switch pro controller hope more platforms like ffxiv officially supports it

Mounts and whistles mid air

Yuyu1 — Sun, 10 May 2026 04:06:54 GMT

As the title suggests, please let us use mounts while in mid-air.

I've made a post before about putting more dangers in the overworld, like removing invisible walls, especially to death pits, and enabling death by falling from extreme heights. And for that, I mentioned a gliding system to make it balanced.

But, in hindsight. I think that instead of making a whole new system, like diving in Stormblood, it would just be easier to enable our whistles and mounts to be used while in mid-air. Bonus points if we could drop off from our mounts in mid-air as well.
Not only would it make the Aether current search more interesting, but it would also be necessary, since drops would be deadlier.

They have talked about updating the overworld in 8.0, but I think making it more challenging in those areas is one of the joys of exploring as well.

A renewed bid for Private Instanced Housing

TheSMBZfan1 — Thu, 07 May 2026 19:42:21 GMT

Hello. So I\\'m throwing my hat into the ring of people asking for an instanced housing system to try and fix the current one. There are several problems with housing that are, frankly, antiquated, and damaging to potential long term health of some of 14\\'s player base. I\\'ll try to constructively break it down as to what issues could hopefully be addressed.

1. Scarcity: players can\\'t get a house they want, or sometimes at all, due to the wards and their physical scarcity. Sizes are also scarce, and yards can still not be upgraded. If every player could get one, problem solved. Even better if they can pick and upgrade their size.

2. It frees up Wards for FCs: Players want houses, not everyone wants the neighborhood. Giving an option for private instanced housing fixes that, freeing up more spaces for FCs.

3. Lottery gates players potentially forever: The lottery might be *better* than the old as system, but not by much. People have the money. They want a house they want. It\\'s a demoralizing step, putting yourself in the lottery, only to be told \\'better luck next time.\\' Having a promised plot fixes that, keeps morale higher.

4. My biggest, and final reason I can think of; This goes against the lax message of \\'take a break from the game if you need to\\': This is, right now, the only piece of the game that is so hard against that that most players can regularly do and care about. If you own a house, taking a break from the game is consigning to loss of the house, and then needing to reclaim all furniture, which could now be in the thousand range. That\\'s not easy, and you can only get 240 at a time, and you have to get it all to reenter the housing market. I want to take breaks, recover in real life, or step back from this game giving a bad experience. This doesn\\'t help, it\\'s a bad experience losing a house you cared for. If you want players to take a break, recharge, and come back to the game with a freshed perspective, then fixing the housing to have private instanced lots that either don\\'t get demolished or are easy to get fixes that.

So that is what issues I think it would resolve. As for execution, something a kin to Island Sanctuary with limits I think is the model.

To explain, limits of one private house per server I think is fair, along with choosing between having an instanced house, or maintaining a ward house, but not both. I am not proposing the wards go away. Making it as well the house in instanced only exists if the owner is there is I think a fair price to pay, like Island Sanctuary. This means the house only needs to take up data when the owner is on. Keeping it private only as well is key because FCs might make this very messy.

Feedback! Wings Mount.

Luba — Thu, 07 May 2026 15:38:04 GMT

I would like the next new item available for purchase in the FFXIV online store to be a mount like the Wings of Eternity or Wings of Resolve.
I know these are mounts that could perhaps be obtained in patch 9.0 from the vendor Mogtome, but I didn't want to wait until then.
It wouldn't need to be something so elaborate or glamorous, just wings so that those who don't play current extreme content, like me, could obtain them through another means.:)

Movement Animations.

YungSkeezy — Sun, 03 May 2026 21:06:07 GMT

Characters slide around during all skill use animations. Any way to make it look less janky? Like make character's legs actually move when performing an action while moving?
