We can create piggies to help people affected by light aether and help a zone create matter out of nowhere but we apparently never think about healing our disabled friends. Wheelchair guy comes to mind aswell.

The mere presence of the Scions actively hinders the game's story.

The game tries so hard to make us want the Scions around, but I'm burned out from their presence after 6.0.

Island Sanctuary should include the Chocobo Stable, Marketboard, and Glamour Dresser.

The Stable and Dresser I could see but I think they’d use the same reasoning for market boards as they did with Mor Dhona way back when.

Lots of people requested them to add a market board there since there was a lot of crafting quests and things in the area. But S.Es response at the time was, ‘we don’t want to create a situation where non-city-states are flooded by players because they have market boards’. It’s the same reason there aren’t market boards in Idyllshire, Eulmore or Radz-at-Han.

No doubt they’d pull out the ‘server limitations’ thing too lol. Personally I think market boards should be available in certain non-state areas. At the very least they should put some in the endgame / time stone exchange cities lol

Island Sanctuary should've included instanced housing in exchange for your private one if you happened to have one; and wards should've been made FC only, with all small plots upgraded to medium plots.

They dont care about leaving every other zone being dead, so why care about the cities? Cause players start there and it would leave a bad impression?

Fr tho. I don't hate NIN, I got it to 90, but I was so into the ROG fantasy up to that point, I couldn't help but be disappointed when it took the left turn that it did.

That said, I won't pretend I have any ideas for how they could've stretched ROG into a hypothetical THF direction that wouldn't have functionally resembled NIN anyway, and I have to assume the devs didn't know either lol.

Low-key drives me crazy that they put a market board in exclusionary Sharlayan over Radz -- canonically famous for its trade, complete with a dramatic arc about its trade lol.

I assume it was to keep Sharlayan alive, since so much of the endgame is centered in Radz otherwise. But I end up just using Ul'dah's or the one near my FC house anyway, so can't say that worked on me.
