Not saying it's perfect, but it's a massive upgrade from what it was. Let's be real.
I was a fan of the glove style relics because the non-gloves looked so bloody weird. Like take the last two Heavensward ones. What even are those? Giant... blobby metal with a random glow tacked on top. But then you run into the issue of your gloves never matching your glamour. I just wish they could use some of the really cool npc weapons as models, like you said. There's some really cool claws and spikes (that aren't comically giant) I'd love but this job just keeps getting screwed in the weapon department. Like the tonfas would've been badass if they didn't turn out to be moogle glowsticks.
oh yeah, i'd like to be able to buy recolors or at least undyeable pvp gear. i saw the hellhound gear in the benchmark and thought to myself "oh,something ill never be able to get thanks yoship, very cool"
I love SMN to actually feel like a summoner and not a pet class anymore. Want to use a wind atack Garuda gets summoned then disappears. Use a ice attack summon Shiva to do a ice attack and disappear. That is how SMN should be. Summon majestic beings to do attacks not a little sprite that just attacks. Should be to summon most primals at this point in time but locked behind those stupid Egi's. So sick of Garuda, Titan and Ifrit all the time.
Activities and/or mini games I can do with my wife/FC independent of actual game skill/gear or progress.
A virtual tabletop using the furnishing placement system and a variety of objects I can place. Maybe with a deck of cards and dice.
So we can play chess, checkers. Go fish. DND. I dunno. Doesn’t need any AI whatsoever. Just pick up, put down, maybe flip.
