Would be nice if it could be used for tattoos if armor not covering it.

I would like them to phase all of existing Eorzea into the current timeline, showing the changes which took place over the past several years. That's a minor change, right?
Pff. Time bubbles are cannon. What more do you want? >.>
I hereby add (1) lid to your can of enlightened worms.
Seriously, though, I have to wonder what would be the most efficient use of their time by which to add cohesion or immersion by revealing the time that's passed so far. RT and Idyllshire are pretty much all we've gotten in that regard, unless you account pre- and post-completion RR.
Soft-phasing is near the top of my list for things I'd like to see utilized, but it's rarely been with an interest in long-term progression as simply asset generation.
For instance, think of the quests when you had to track down Bismarck / Thordan's airship via various sightings, but that ended up just being a lot of click-and-wait "destinations". I'd love to see Bismarck instead actually be moving across where you are, with formulas involved in order to base those sightings around player position (in case you go afk at some point) while still leading you to the mechanical goal.
Alternatively, though, I wouldn't mind seeing people and their purple puddles phased to just those in that section of quest progress, so that the purple puddles and (to everyone else) seemingly random spawns weren't necessary.
That said, outside these short-term things, I can't imagine a particularly noteworthy or smoothing use for phasing. If we could actaully see Baelsar's Wall, before and after, that'd be one thing, but it's very rare that any of those plot-changed areas or assets are actually visible at all in the open world or so forth until they've met that change.
Pretty much every opportunity to make significant use of phasing (soft or full) outside of removing the gimmicks or "destinations" and purple-zone spawns XIV has actively avoided, almost as if future-proofing against any need for phasing.
STR/DEX/INT/MND replaced with PWR (Power.)
They're all literally the exact same stat with different names.
Gear is job/role restricted anyway.
No one uses the materia outside of tanks.
I really love a lot of these ideas <3
1. ARR beast tribe experience should be increased, and the tier IV materia rewards dumped.
2. If you make a fun story battle, it should show up in the Gold Saucer as a minigame later.
3. Remove the obsolete stuff from the wolf's den, like the materia and the i70 and i90 gear.
4. get rid of alllied seals, unify the various hunts under one vendor. Everything is centurio seals.
The option to invite people to return to the game via Lodestone or to message them via LS.
