If you had the power to add one feature no questions asked, what would it be?

I would like them to revamp the entire ilvl scaling system. Either has a better algorithm in place to allow content to be more challenging or remake the code. I feel the scaling factor ruins some aspects because even if you are 20 ilvls above content scaling doesn't fully make you match the intended difficulty. I would also expand this into dungeons and say don't allow people to be 2 levels higher than the dungeon and then sync....make it match to maintain that difficulty that was intended. It's ok to be a little better thanks to gear scaling but a walk in the park shouldn't happen.

Can't you use a CWLS?

Although I partially agree, if 20 item levels didn't make you significantly more powerful then it would make you question the point of getting better gear. Gear progression is important, but only when the expansion is current and once it's the previous expansion, everything could just be synced close to or at minimum to keep it fun. If a new player has friends or social connections, they tell them to get poetic gear so there is no gear progression in previous expansions.

Robbing mini-game in housing districts...

A few things:::

1. Mail anyone on any server, (even if it still is limited to friends, would love to mail my outer server friends even if I need to travel to their server, )

2. Ease of gearing alt jobs. As of right now, I have healer geared (Getting my SCH book this week cause I am last one in my static without a wep) and I have geared BLM Minus a few upgrades and a wep.

While now that the alliance raid can net one upgrade a week and Nuts can as well. I think there could be, a slight adjustment to the system to upgrade. Maybe unlock book drops? (like for the current tier, let books be uncapped by 6.3 and then unlock all gear by 6.38 or something) especially with an ultimate around the corner, would help.

3. Add a system in a duty where, if a member leaves, can vote for a party member to swap to the leaving class, There have been Mentor EXs I have gotten into that a Tank/Healer leaves and I leave and try to re-que as said missing role. It would be helpful and easier to just swap in duty.

4. Add skill/spell pose options within /gpose, let me cast fire IV within Limsa and Gpose about it lol..\

5. Allow us to /chairsit anywhere, on ledges, steps, cliffs, I know its possible using... [REDACTED tool] but would be cool if I can use the chair sitting animations on ledges and such.

Removing glamour restrictions of everything but Artifact Sets.

I have a new request. Can we please smile or adjust our facial expression in our lodestone photo? The endless 8AM DMV line photos need a little TLC.

The ability to glamor clothing from any job outside of the AF gear...

Been playing for around 8 years now...been asking for this just as long.

Also, having skills scale down to low level dungeons instead of just losing them all together. Going back to sastasha and losing your WHOLE kit pretty much is mind-numbing.

Im in an Instance. Im busy.. Whatever it is..it can wait

This is meant to be a fun thread not to shoot down ideas one does not agree with. It is cool to ask someone to expand and flesh out the idea. Criticism is cool but I am do not think we should outright say this is a bad idea no thank you as a blanket statement.

Point of the thread was to just explore the ideas of the community without ir turning into some not worth it for x.

Oh a new idea I had while crafting, being able to craft with items in your retainers.

Then again In FF 14 I dont have to because I cant be pestered in an instance

Coming off as really unhinged there. I think I know where the problem lies.

I would actually just remove this forum tbh.

I've said it once, I'll say it again. It's not a real thread until Vel pops in and goes sicko mode on the keyboard.

With that out of the way, I'm just gonna expand (lol) on the butt slider thing and straight up ask for body sliders ala PSO. Be it shortstacks, gigachads, or ungodly abominations fit to make Hydaelyn weep, lemme make em.

-and this.

And ffffUUUUUUUUUUUSE them together.
And make more random-ass NPCs unlockable via achievements, challenge logs, questlines, etc.
And when I say random-ass, I'm talking "Red Meteor the Red Chocobo as DPS from completing objectives of Bozja" or "Completing X number of Anima weapon relics gives Anima the sprite as a variable-party-slot member"

I have been tempted to rename my chocobo "Bait", because honestly that's basically what my chocobo saddlebag is full of.

For talking in normal instances, yes. You cannot in Crystalline Conflict instances, where it locks out all communication.

I choose to name my bird Bait since that was the name of my childhood pet, but little did I know how fitting it would be until I got into fishing.

I do sometimes use a jank system of "invite and kick" to kinda simulate it, but I really would love to have the ability to talk without doing any of that.

Well one is breast and butt sliders on lalafell as I'm sure we all want.
Also much easier gearing for alt's I hate having to decide between healer or ranged dps knowing that I have to go all in or it's just pieces everywhere.

And personally for me more storage on chocobo saddle, im a hoarder of equips for the chance I might one day use it some year.

I did get a chuckle when I saw Dragon Prince for that reason, but named my hamster Bait. The most recently season did leave much to be desired.

More seriously:
Cross-class and cross-gender restriction removed.

Less seriously:
The ability to ride other players like mounts.

Not sure about the details though. Just a fun thread let your imagination run wild throw caution to the wind.

A better housing lottery system that allows you to place bids for multiple houses. If you win more than one you can only claim one, and If not claimed it goes to the second place winner (system would draw extra when duplicate wins is detected). You can do up to 3 of each size with the same funds “45 million can bid for 3 larges” so whales with tons of Gil don’t have an advantage.

The system would also do basic checks for FCs making sure it has X active consistent members. If at any point the fc does not then the purchaser would have the FC converted to their personal home and if they already have one then it would be locked. 30 days later their personal home is demolished unless they demolish the FC one first which unlocks their home.

Demolish windows would be reduced to 30 day cycles. No sub no house.

Oh, and also gonna throw this one in here:
Split the Red Mage's arm into two pieces (main hand and off hand) so that we can glamour them separately.

That would require them to acknowledge the Off-Hand slot again.
Which they still regret for Paladin to this day.

Orchestrion headphones for personal, portable enjoyment of orchestrion roles in all content (dungeons, open world, eureka, etc).

One feature?

How about they "refund" a few million dollars to the card I used to subscribe.

(you did say ANY feature).

As I said the go wild, let your imagination be free!

Bard now uses harp as its weapon, archers idk become a new class or something lol

Lord of Verminion is now grid-based srpg style (think ff tactics)

Minion Enlarger (it’d be pretty funny to have a giant minion following you around)

…yes i posted twice lol I’m addicted to power

An actual holster for MCH.

ARR PLD could do this

"Savage" MSQ mode for doing MSQ from the beginning in a party of 4 and not feeling like bringing a nuke to a fist fight if you have the friends to play with.

Scratch that I'd bring back full cross-classing. Balance can sod off.

Multi role jobs I wanna play dps drk... You could say that's rpr but I like greatswords way more.

Replace those vanilla content support goons in ARR / HW with named characters we see in the MSQ (Such as Hoary Boulder, Noraxia, Moenbryda, etc)

back in the early days of ARR I'd suggested having every base job branch into 2 possible advanced jobs of different roles like arcanist did...

And SE decided to go the other direction and just remove the base job stage from every new job added from HW on...

To be "invisible" online to friends list/FC folks.

I'm gonna Send Balmung to a new Datacenter far away from Aether.

The ability to do this:

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...507082/557.png

Instanced Housing, so you can spend 50m and buy a large size, 20m on a medium size, or 3m on a small size house on a homestead with an exterior and interior that is the functional equivalent of a plot, with a customizable backdrop for each current zone in the form of a city dwelling, and a wilderness dwelling. i.e) Empyreum house/Coerthas Western house. Lavender Beds House/Haukke Manor. Mists House/Beach House. Goblet House/Forgotten Springs. Shirogane/Yanxia. Wouldn't even have to design a new interior for each zone, just a small exterior area, with an invisible wall akin to a skybox.

Would affect the servers to the same extent Island Sanctuary did, since it'd just be loaded whenever you're there, and you could have entry points in various overworld zones with a short alpha-numeric location code for people to visit (if you allow it.) It'd singlehandedly destroy all value in ward RMT, shell FCs, and housing grief. It'd be an absolutely massive gil-sink. There's literally a million reasons to do it and none not to

Good point. I would like the ability to actually...you know touch someone. Like if I want to hug someone I can bring up the option and hold position then they can do the same emote and we actually embrace. Feels weird to hug air. I doubt it'll be a thing though or at least for a long while because you have to factor in a lot of sizes.

Wisest Lala.

Sliders for every part of the characters shape and size and unlock all races hairstyles, ears, and so on.
