Some suggestions, mostly quality of life, obvious things

Not sure if this has already been mentioned, but when you check on someone and it tells you their location, I'd like it to be specific when it is talking about the primals. For example, whether someone is fighting Titan normal, hard, or extreme, it just says "The Navel." I think it would be helpful if it told you which one, like maybe The Navel (H) for hard mode and The Navel (E) for extreme.

I am sure this has been requested a lot, but adding an FC option in the nameplates section wohld be fabulous. i have everything turned off except engaged monsters and friends, but it would be nice to have free company members active too.

This exists already. I think its /battleeffects and you have to specify parameters. Google the ff14 chat commands and it should be a wiki page, then alt+f battle on the page. You can create macros with it.

I solved this by friending most active members of my fc.
(though, I needed to do that anyway because I distribute krakka roots by moogle mail)

But yes, a separate options for FC members would be nice.

I'd like the ability to freely map the gamepad with whatever actions I wish, similar to how keyboard users are allowed to map their keyboard.

On PS4, it is very hard to see what you rolled on an item, without putting your face right up to your TV. I thought I rolled a 98 on the Knight from ST last night, was very excited, but it turned out it was 68. This isn't the first time either, and many friends agree with me.

Please put the number that we roll ABOVE or BELOW the item we rolled on, rather than right on it.

We def. need right click report. When I'm fishing I only have 2 min for certain big fish. I am NOT going to go through your reporting process and lose my time on those fish. SE can give us this, and it is def needed. Also when my blist is full of rmt names, deleting them 1x1 to make room for more is very time consuming in a game where I already have a zillion things to do. Come on, SE, help us out.

I just noticed this before and I don't know if it has been mentioned.

Similar to the FC Activity tab, you can return data specific to what you want, like Chocobo Raising activity, Garden activity, Actions, etc. Is it possible to also have this feature for the Company Chest History? I noticed that after withdrawing/depositing activity by many people, that sometimes important logs get buried, like Gil withdrawn or deposited.

So yea, it'd be nice if the History can be tweaked to be an Activity Tab with several data return isolation, like Gil related, Withdrawn, Deposited, Crystals, etc.

If the level of an ability is at the level sync's parameters, please can you make so it that it doesn't cancel it out.

When my Cleric Stance is on, everytime I level sync on my WHM, my cleric stance always falls off and half the time I forget to put it back on.

Probably said countless times but:
Arcanist is caster dps, have int as main stat, his evolution is summoner, again caster dps, have int as main stat. Let the scholar soul stone swap the int stat with mind stat, as this is his main stat as a healer. I am using Sumoner and Scholar with half of their main stat, this is sad : (
Also beware of the same problem when you introduce new classes and jobs.

(sorry for bad english)

Please link glamour/vanity to gear sets instead of gear pieces. I glamoured my Sum and Sch, but cant glamour Blm and Whm with the same equipment (i am using job AF for glamour). That way you can solve the problem of odin armor also. You can keep the restriction of glamouring only on equip of same or higher item level. That way i could also swap accuracy equip when needed whitout disrupting my vanity.

could we just get rid of cooldowns after switching classes ?

edit: and while we are talking switching classes
let us join duty as archetype and allow us switch classes within said archetype, like:
i join as dps and i can freely switch between any dps class which meets requirement for said duty, with no ability cooldowns ofc
i want to kill trash as blm and then switch to something else for the bosses, i mean... am i not multiclass hero or what ?

and if some other archetype drops, let me switch to said archetype, like:
tank drops before last boss > i switch from dps to tank and we finish it with 3 ppl or wait for 4th dps

1) Allow us to quick-synth 1star recipes - Crafting is ever-evolving and becoming deeper and deeper. 1star recipes are a joke for most crafters anymore but the materials are needed in big quantities for many higher crafts.

2) Allow us to hold onto multiple treasure maps - Please remove the unique tag from maps and let us hold them in stacks. Unhidden Maps already have this functionality and I think the other maps should as well.

3) Give Frontline a daily roulette bonus - The que times are terrible. We need the que times to be fixed. This will greatly help that.

An option to lock the map so it can't be selected or moved would be nice for controller users. Every time I enter a zone it's selected and I end up moving it when I'm trying to turn the camera.

EDIT: Either that or allowing the mini-map to be larger and zoomed out more would be nice as well.

1. Can we please be allowed to turn off Battle music?
2. Can we please be allowed to turn off/adjust size and placement of pop-ups such as "FATE JOINED, FATE COMPLETED, QUEST ACCEPTED, COMMENCING DUTY, FULL PARTY, LIGHT PARTY"?
3. Can we please be able to select 2 different color text for damage we inflict and damage we sustain? Example: You hit the Lost Lamb for 3 points of damage The Lost Lamb hits you for 3 points of damage
4. Can we please have a text inventory option?
5. Can we please be allowed to turn off glow effects on weapons/armor for self and others?

As there are other tasks that need to be addressed this is not something that we can do right away, but having an option in the retainer venture menu for repeating the last venture is a good idea and we will look into it.

Some of those things listed in the OP are some items that were running through my head the last few days. :D Thank you for the response Grek!

I'd like to see stuff stack itself when using sort.

For example, say I have 52 NQ linen cloth in one stack, and 15 NQ of the same in a second one, then sorting would put those two together, opening up an inventory space.

Would it be possible to let us stack certain furnishings and possibly expand the furnishings that have things placed upon them?
For example, put two storm storage boxes on top of another. Or put a storage box on a chair or two chairs, etc. things of that sort~

THe fact that after 4 years ffxiv still isn't able to combine stacks of like items to capacity then use another inv slot for overflow saddens me.

Wait... let me guess...memory limitations? *cough*burntheps3*cough*

Something old school from XI that I really miss, is the looking for party icon over players heads.
It would be nice if you could optionally flag yourself in a visual way on the field. So that when, let's say, an NM spawns rather than everyone shouting "invite me! pick me! invite me!" party leaders could easily see whom around them still needed to join and whom did not in a crowd.

This will probably be vetoed by all of the people who want less Aetherytes for some reason, but going to say it anyways

I think smaller towns (Hyrstmill, Buscarron's Drothers for example) should have a mini-Aetheryte added to them that are for the sole purpose of being a home point. No teleport, it doesn't work at all like the cities, just a home point. When I leveled my first class, and had leves around Buscarron's, I wasted so much time getting back there when I died. Not so bad with a chocobo, but it was horrible back then.

I think you do.

Cant u do that by changing your search info. or something, I remember u can change your status to like AFK, looking for group, busy, etc. they appear beside your name, so other ppl can know to invite you and what not... only its not that visible when trying to get in a group for odin, or hunts...

I wish the armory and inventory would highlight things that are salable, when you're trying to put things up for sale through your retainer, or equippable by your retainer, when you're trying to equip your retainer, rather than highlighting what is equippable by your currently selected class at all times.

Uh... what? The PS3 could easily handle this. The game already knows the total amount of each item you have, combining them into one item slot isn't a big deal. The reason the game doesn't have it has nothing to do with MEMORY LIMITATIONS because there's not really any overhead when it comes to this. Instead, the reason it isn't done, is because of a design difference; by that I mean they don't want it in the game or haven't thought to put it in.

Personally, I don't see the reason to store HQ and NQ in one slot, sure it saves one slot but then how do I split out the stacks? You create a system for the sole purpose of handling this custom stack of items, it just feels like a hassle.

Instead, why aren't you asking for what people really want...? Extra storage bags...
Also, don't count this game's age from 1.0, it's been only one year.

Okay here are my suggestions:

• More inventory Space, at least for crafters
• A bigger armory chest. Suppose I want to max out all jobs. So I will need Armour and weapons for them. If you add more classes, then it will inevitably lead to a lack space at 25 per "folder" There are a couple ways to fix that:
  • A separate tab on most of the inventory designation what gear is for battle (Disciplines of War and Magic) and what gear isn't (Disciplines for the Hand and Land) allowing us to store up to 25 weapons and gear for battle and up to 25 tools and gear for gathering nad crafting, allowing more space when adding classes
  • Alternately adding a tab to the weapons/armor/accessories for gear used as Glamours, unlike the rest of the chest, this will be an unlimited space (or at least have way more space then the rest of the chest), but the only thing that can go there are weapons/armor used as glamour

Mog Station Paid Name Change, SE likes money right?

Mog station and/or in-game Retainer name/appearance change. Fantasia/aesthetican could be applied in the same way they are applied to a main character.

the ability to use duty finder while running fates/gathering with a companion. This would greatly reduce idle sitting time which is a huge turn off when playing a game.

The ability to change the font size for character, npc, enemy, object, and floating battle text. This would help reduce the loss of immersion.

Split Herklaedi into seperate pieces to allow for glamour. Simply make an npc where you trade in herklaedi for the seperate pieces.

Another glamour request, in my opinion it is completely reasonable to allow for the glamouring of 1 handed caster weapons over 2 handed caster weapons. such as giving the stardust rod the appearance of the mogs staff, ifrits cudgel, etc.

thank you.

I don't think you got what he was saying based on your reply, if his post was in-line with what I put in a few posts prior. I can understand NQ and HQ not stacking. What I can't understand is why NQ and NQ don't stack together when you sort inventory, and same with HQ and HQ.

Though more bag space would be nice too.

I'd like them to adjust the Glamour system to be more inline with D3 so I don't have to hang onto tons of gear weapons that I think MIGHT look cool pieced with something else. First time you obtain an item, you gain its image as a glamour. I believe WoW had the same system eve.

Log out -> Character Selection page please.

Unhidden Leather Map Bottles and its map are not considered unique. Can we have this for other maps as well?

If it hasn't already been said, a way to break clusters/crystals down into shards would be nice. -_-

I like the new teleport menu, but it would be nice to have the option to list the actual destination first and the region second instead of in reverse how it currently is.

and a way to merge shards into crystals/clusters

Please have the chat box tell us when we earn FC rank points, just as it tells us when we earn XP. When we're trying to build up our FC towards rank 6 (or any other goal level, for that matter), it'd be nice to see when we're accomplishing a contribution towards that goal.

(Note: I'm just talking about when we ourselves earn those points, not when they're earned by others in the FC. We can see well enough in the FC window how we're doing overall.)

This. Although Glamour is only part of the inventory problem

I's also suggest in addition to the Armour Chest a separate inventory for crafting materials and ingredients with at least 100 spaces

A carbuncle mount

New companions besides chocobos. Maybe our retainer?

Flower pot(s) so we can atleast grow grops (one at a time atleast) in our FC chambers

Penalty for those people who got vote-kicked too many times in a short span.

Can we please get rid of this ugly neckbrace? This top would look much cuter without it. Most necklaces don't even cover it up. :(
