First-Annual "Why is This STILL Not a Thing"

1. Repairing other people's gear, I've had experience of people abandoning a run coz they forgot or got killed too many times that their gear is already in the red.
2. VR functionality, would love to explore the maps, dungeons and battles once again with extreme immersion VR can give, I know this is just a pipe dream but I would love to experience it someday

Ergo linear progression with no depth at all.

MSQ is literally the only thing of substance. But please do continue to express your desire for more inventory space and glamour options. Because Eorzean fashion matters.

I'm trying to get people to express just what kind of content they want. Just saying "this is boring, give us something more fun/rewarding" is pointless and unproductive. Offer ideas on quests or events, who knows, the devs just might listen.

Also, while I do want a tackle box for fishing bait, I personally could do with or without more glamour options. But this post isn't just about what I want, it's for everyone, and that's what the majority of people want.

It's been 2 expansions now. I don't think listening to fan feedback is something they take seriously.

Depends on which fans they are listening to. They have to be doing something right otherwise the game would have tanked long before now. I'm not defending everything they've done, I have complaints just like everyone else, but I'm not going to let them ruin the game for me. You can't please everyone.

So can we please put this to rest and go back on topic?

Sure better armor designs. I want armor. Not fucking robes and coats. Give those to the mages pls. Their wardrobe is awful.

How about some passive skills. Some racials would be nice too. How about a rework to crafting weapons and armor to give you some stat bonuses and abilities if you wear a full set.

Customization would be nice. You people always cry for more customization options in character creation...that would be cool. Hasn't happened yet across 2 expansions. Keep hoping though. Might cost you a raid tier or two though.

How about a overworld full of life instead of heavily instanced areas and a Eorzea devoid of anything interesting.

Just a few things.

I think they are going with the "armor slows down casting, or something" line of thinking with that one, but that would be nice.

The Grand Company gear does offer set bonuses, but they are God-awfully ugly.

To able to mix and match the bangs with any hairstyle. And maybe be able to have a Miqo'te's tail color be separate from their hair color.
An aging feature would be nice too, where you could make characters look more weathered.

This is something I've wanted in most games. Actually, 3-piece hair. Body, rear, and fringe all as distinct options when picking a hairstyle would be great. Sadly, I doubt that many games will ever handle that, let alone this game. :-(

An increased Centurio Seal cap.

I very much agree with this! The FATE music has been the same since ARR launch. I wouldn't mind it so much if we had differing themes for HW and SB areas, but we don't and that ARR FATE music has long since become boring to hear.

FFXIV got an award for the most music in a MMO, yet we still have the same FATE music each expansion lol. It can kinda ruin the feel of an area too, hearing this same old tune play in new areas. I'd really like if they remixed or wrote new music for HW/SB FATEs.

And of course the option to toggle it off like you said because it will all get boring to hear eventually, even with the change I described. :P

Stackable maps, like seriously

It used to happen in ESO when I was playing it. Some people didn't want to do the entire trial, wanting only to farm the last boss cause they gave weapons/jewelry for sets. So their friends make a party, get thru the whole thing and kick everyone they could to replace with their buds.

Very scummy TBH.

If I had my way with character creation in any game, you would be able to customize any aspect fully, from head to toe. Unfortunately, there are technical limitations to deal with as well as the legal BS about creating "trademarked" characters in an IP that doesn't own said character, BLAH BLAH BLAH...

Changing from FC house to personal or vice versa. I know this could get tricky with members that are active, but I'm saying for those one person FC members.

Single person FC here ∠(^ー^). I consider the FC house as my personal house for the moment, but still be open for other members (if/when any join) to enjoy. I do like the idea though.

---

LotRO also functions like that, and it has been for a very long time. When WoW implemented glamour (transmogrifications), I was PISSED that it wasn't made like this.
The main point of this system is that if done tat way, YOU DON'T HAVE TO RE-GLAMOUR EVERY NEW PIECE OF GEAR YOU GET.

I think another way they could do this would be to let you set your characters appearance to a button press: you register the appearance you want and it doesn't change when you equip newer gear. Kinda the way old RPGs did it, the character model never changed but the gear did.

Chocobo digging

sightseeing markers for ARR areas like we have in HW and SB areas

Larger scale open world beastmen battles like besieged or campaign battles from FFXI

Hidden tonberry rancor stat because I want to scare new players like I did in FFXI by getting hit by everyone's rancor for around 100K damage >.>

Gobbiebag quests, current bag still not big enough

Various quest items actually being put in the "Quest Items" inventory page

One more (though a bit pedantic):
Please Buff Weeping City/Dun Scaith minion drops. :-(
Or even introduce an auto-buff for the prior alliance raid's droprate when a new one hits.

I agree, we should be able to do more activities with our chocobros.

And flying too

Is that like Everyone's Grudge from VIII, where the Tonberry deals damage based on the number of monsters you've killed?

Anniversary prizes for the Eternally Bonded players.

Chocobo raising for personal use (imo, Gold Saucer ver doesn't count), and Chocobo hot and cold.

Upgrade-able living space that can be taken to any size your gil pockets and time allow, for each and every player.

FC projects that are more visual based, those towers mentioned early on in development for example (or GW2 like zones you upgrade as a far more broad sweeping one).

Two or more dye slots per item.

Glamour log.

Bestiary (cannibalize the hunting log I think, reward filling out your bestiary instead).

Outside of Golden Saucer, I want my Ferris Wheel ride with Barrett or Cloud :P.

Bluemage. . :D.

Addons (for all those sweet QoL/UI enhancements, like a live search bar of all inventories on account).

Account wide Mogshop unlocks (for everything, like other popular western games).

Shopping cart for Mogshop.

Permanent dye unlock.

Gender swapping NPC that just takes any gendered item and switches the gender. Or just that the item changes based on who wears it but has the same name (or self adjusting name, but still same item).

Any ideas no matter how pedantic they seem are welcome here as long as it's constructive

Ability as a seller to check a box when putting something up for sale to allow individual sales. This would make selling materials so much more efficient for both buyer and seller. Too many times I'll need, I dunno, 4 of an item. *Checks market board* There are three singles, or a stack of 20 or higher. Yay....

Any open world content outside treasure hunting ,and hunt mobs would be cool. Plant some chests that spawn randomly , and drop assorted goodies. Perhaps the odd monster that drops something cool. How about an occasional rare spawn in raids that drops a cool item.

It was specific to tonberries. Normal tonberries had everyone's grudge which did damage based on the number of tonberries you killed since the last time you used an NPC to cleanse it. There was a story mission where you fight a tonberry king who has an upgraded version called everyone's rancor that did something like 10x the damage. Given I think you were lv 50 or so when doing this quest and FFXI's HP didn't scale nearly as high on players meaning you had maybe 1K depending on job it was a good way to make newb players freak out when taking them through the battle. :3

I could see this only if they did individual instanced housing as players would complain of not enough space for their turbo-mansions.

You'd probably get Lightning at best..

I wanna see a lala use the monster skill Devour :D

Seriously, paying $7.99 for an item for just ONE character is a bit bogus.

I'm kinda split on this one. On the one hand I like crafting my own stuff, on the other, I hate finding out that I'm out of pigment when I want to dye new gear.

Ah, that does sound kinda brutal, but what would you expect from Tonberries?

They do have the hunting boards, but randomly spawning rare mobs that drop unique gear would be awesome.

1. I am okay with this :D. There doesn't have to be a complete destruction of the neighborhood system (existing games can be referenced as example) which is some player's concern to this, but your turbo mansion comment is partly why I would be "for instanced" - because you could actually have a turbo mansion lol. That and the ability to give everyone a house means we can see some unique features added without ruining other player's experience.

2. Lol, that sounds true /cry. It's not that I dislike her but I was just never really into her as a character either. FF series has other better female characters imo. To each their own I guess.

3. <3

4. Sometimes the "memory limits" barricades the game has like this one makes me feel like I'm playing a game from an earlier time. I've never suggested that their reasoning is false or what have you but that it's actually a reason makes me wonder if it wasn't done intentionally or if the system was completed by someone not concerned with international competition/capability (please compete! lol).

5. Personally was just imagining they made dye recipes more complex/demanding to make but that they were then unlocked on your pallete, permanently, when consumed (so finding them via quests, shops, and other players is still important but not a constant tedium). You could then apply to gear as you see fit, a bit like you might see in Guild Wars 2. I just find having to juggle the inventory slots and googling where I can pick up specific dyes, or that there is cash-shop dyes that are consumable digital items, as a bit silly and unnecessary engagement. There is a bit of realism to it, but after they removed consumables like arrows I'm not really as concerned about that as I may have been before.

I wouldn't mind an instanced area where I'm at now. I never see anybody in the ward anyways...

(Damn character limit and no editing on mobile)

Why can't some info be stored on an individual's PC for the game to reference instead of always 'straining' the servers?

I'm going to put in my vote for gear with unique stats.

I'm just going to say it now, the gear we have is boring. Every new piece is just a straight stat upgrade from the rest, and items of the same level and slot are basically identical, save for appearance and secondary stats swap here and there. I want something more interesting. Gear which boosts a skill potency, or reduces recast times. Something with a chance to deal bonus elemental damage, or a shield which deals some of the blocked damage to your enemies.

The gear we have currently is so plain in comparison to FFXI. And before you jump on the bandwagon and say 'this isn't FFXI', I know. Believe me I do. But even in early FFXIV, we had gear with unique stats. The original relic weapons themselves had unique stats after all, so it's not an excuse to be bland.

I hear you. Stuff that other MMOs have, like set bonuses, ie "crit +10 with two pieces of (x) set", and so forth. Promoting different combinations for different bonus effects. But then again, it seems like the devs don't bother researching other games, so why bother.

I miss accessories with abilities like Auto Reflect, Auto Raise, Regen etc.

That stuff is from old school Final Fantasy games, so why can't we have it here?

Get rid of leve allowances, give us a glamour log, fix macros so I can actually see the tooltip for the ability, and let me talk to NPCs while mounted.

On the party list, add colors to the hp, mp, and tp bars to match the parameter UI.

More solutions to inventory issues. Bait box, raid tokens in the currency window, glamour log to name a few.

Better net coding to resolve disconnection issues and button press delay.

Stop region locking promotions for JP/EU/NA accounts, so that everyone can take advantage of every promotion.

Savage maps (repeatable outdoor content for skilled teams). These would be spawnable bosses for 8 man teams and a way to progress current tier gear. Extreme trial difficulty. The reward system should encourage helping other people even if you already did it once. Maps could be obtained in tiers from previous savage maps and the first map could be obtained by clearing an extreme trial or savage raid boss with a newbie bonus. This would encourage helping strangers and FC members. Maps would be tradeable and sellable on the MB.

Solo challenges like the jumping puzzles in the sightseeing log, but more related to thinking skills. Like a maze without a map which coils around itself in impossible ways (Lucid Nightmare in WoW). Or word, letter and number puzzles (Greatest Story Never Told in FFXIV). Maybe diving in a 3D underwater maze with a timer, or some kind of memory tests. Basically I'd like something similar to jumping puzzles in the way that you can't just google the solution for it. The rewards should be cosmetic and unique.

1. Kicking people out the Private/FC housing or apartment.
(sometime when you leave the house open, some players will go in and no leave ugh)
2. Upgrade Blacklist.
FFXIV harassment no only by words but by emotes and other stuff.
so if i have blacklist players i do not want to SEE him even on my screen.

- When in the retainer menu, be able to choose another retainer without having to leave the menu all together.
- Be able to leave permanent notes on the map like FFXI, pls.
- shouldn't be able to lot on gear you already have on a retainer.
- everything should be stackable to 99 omfg
- tackle storage
- why is the keyitems storage so darn huge?
- be able to store relics in armoire
- be able to store ALL of my darn artifact gear in the armoire??
- be able to store ALL event items in the armoire???
- why does this piece of Junk armoire exist if we can't store 75% of the things we own???
