Some suggestions, mostly quality of life, obvious things

oh....thank :o

Being able to zoom in closer to your character in normal camera and gpose would be nice.

I think it would be neat if they gave us an option to see player chat as speech bubbles above people's heads. It always feels weirdly disconnected to look at a person but having to look down left in an entirely seperate window to see what they are saying :x
It's also makes RP and events like the player-made theatre performance Diablos just had that much more enjoyable.
The difference is like the difference between watching a movie with subtitles vs. watching it in the language you understand.

I get that some people would possibly find this annoying or jarring though, so it should be a chat option :)

I'd like to suggest that... when we examine a door, a doorman, or a ferry guy, the default option should be "yes". I examine them because I want to enter so it doesn't make much sense to have "no" as default option.

It would be a nice QoL fix if they could change it so that maintenance messages/announcements were given in a time appropriate to your server, not language. Even though I play on a JP server, because I play in English it always tells me the times in... what is it, PST? Which means nothing to me so I have to go and open the lodestone in Japanese to check the times. It's just a bit annoying, and if they could alter it to local/server time it would be great.

Its best to try and remember the time difference. For example my time is EST. It is 3 hours later here than it is there in PST. So i always know to just count up 3 hours from the given time. I know it might be a pain, but i think itll feel worth it to not have to open lodestone for that again.

True, it's just especially annoying because the time difference is so big that often the American time makes it a completely different day (most recent maint started Jan 25th for US, but took place on Jan 26th here). We can get around it, but it would just be a nice touch - US servers PST, EU servers GMT, JP servers JP time or something.

I won't disagree with that. I guess i got lucky by at least living in the US.

Now that the Fitting Room has the "Dye Preview" option (thanks for that, by the way), it would be nice if we could use the "Try On" command from the character window on gear while we're wearing it, so that we can open the Fitting Room to try out dye combinations. As it is now, if I want to see how my current gear would look, I have to unequip something so that I can use "Try On" from the Armory Chest.

On the subject of the fitting room, could we also get an option to substantially enlarge its view window. It has such a small space for our character's image you either zoom out so far you can't make out any detail, or zoom in so far that you can only see a tiny portion of your character.
