Seriously you didn't even read the first two lines of the OP.
There are plenty of other threads to post your grievances in.
Actually the original post did say people could post about physical merchandise.

This would be a good addition.
Can't think of much outside some really outlandish mount that couldn't be in the game lorewise (Cloud's motorcycle, one of the several cars Squall drove in FFVIII). Not too keen on adding hairstyles to the cash shop, but past seasonal outfits would be a plus.
The cash shop should only include 1. vanity items 2. that are also otherwise obtainable by playing the game. Nothing else. Even the current extra retainers are too much. Services such as fantasia potions (as long as they don't give you a look you can't otherwise create) and server and name changes are ok.
Edit:
Real life items like this are a separate thing and I very much support them. Character figures, plushies, soundtracks etc. Just no in game items that can't be otherwise obtained in game.
Having a customizable 3D-printed figure of my character would be something else I'd consider getting. Doesn't WoW/Blizzard offer something like this already? I'm sure SE could do something similar.
1. Custom skin variety, 1-15 FF series armor set with duration 7days or 30 days on price.
2. Weaver workshop tool that you can design you own cloth to make(limited pattern and dye ingame FFXIV) same 7days or 30days on price.
3. ANY ANGEL WING GOTTA HAVE IT!
4. MUST HAVE BIKES AND CARS FFXV coming out soon.
oh yeah we can build our own airship how cool is that!
And I gave my opinion on what I would buy from such a cash shop. Just because it's a cash shop doesn't mean it can't be changed into a merch with some vanity items and similar thrown in shop - along with the basic idea that old event items might be bought there.
Things I'm OK with in the cash shop: old event items, services(name change, phantasia(though I still argue this should be buyable in game as well via some form of IG currency with maybe a once per patch limitation), server transfer)
Things I'm OK with as bundled stuff: Moggle postman plushie with the moggle postman minion
Things I'm not OK with in the cash shop: minions, mounts, most vanity items(i.e. if some content is dead and you have near no chance of ever getting that sure sell those rewards that way - or you know in game for one of the currencies)
An Auron Glamour set. I'd throw money at my screen so fast...
