The Ten things you would like to see added to FFXIV asap

I really don't think someone made this thread. if they do, please point it out!

Anyway, just wanted to see what are the ten things they want in one place, heh, so here's my thoughts, it's in no specific order really, and it's just my opinion.

So here's my personal thoughts on what I'd like to see.

1. Chocobo

Yes, I'm gonna say it, I know it's going to be added eventually, but this is the sort of thing I'd like to be added soon. While I believe we should keep the anima system. (Face it, people will run out of that shit FAST), The chocobo system will allow people to get around MUCH easier, and makes anima draining much less problematic.

2. Arena style leves

Much like the BCNM in FFXI. I always thought it was fun, and I think the leve system would be a perfect way to handle this. For those that don't know how it is handled, it's basically an arena styled fight (not dungeon). It would require a group, and therefore, it should not be soloable, and these should be challenging, with with multiple rewards, some very valuable at the end. I've always thought that this was fun to do in FFXI.

3. Final Fantasy Tactics style to obtain advanced classes.

I've seen a lot of people suggest this, and I think it would be a very nifty idea. For example, to get Musketeer, you'll need to level Archer and, for the hell of it, conjury, to let's say, 25 and 20 respectively, or something like that. This could apply to every other future advanced jobs. they shouldn't be totally difficult to get, but it should be just enough to make it feel like the reward is worth it.

4. Hair Salon, barbershop, etc.

I know this was talked about during the beta phase, and early part of the game, but now, it's been dead quiet. I've not heard a word about it from the new development team, so I feel that this merit a spot in my ten things. the idea of barbershop is to change your appearance. Not just hair, maybe facial features, like markings, etc.

Allowing people to change their appearance from time to time would make the game seem...new, less repetitive. It would make their characters look more dynamic. I had a terrible, terrible time making up my mind when I first made my character, but one thing I hoped for is to change my hair style because hell, I liked a lot of miqote hairstyle along with what elezens have, as well as hyurs. Also, I'd like to see other races using hairstyle from, well, other races.

5. More Beastmen race

Trying very hard not to turn this into another 'Things I want to see from FFXI', but the presence of Amalj'aa merits this point. There needs to be more beastmen race. It is a great conflict tool that has been used in the past and I feel that it's definitely worth doing here. We got goblins now, along with Amalj'aa and I'm sure the sylphs, fairy, thing, would count but yeah.

6. Make zones (in general) more interesting

The zones are HUGE, they are seemingly endless, but they're so bland. Thanalan is just nothing but an endless desert wasteland (and I'm sure that's the idea there). I'd like to see more landmarks, more structures. Ancient ruins, or signs of battles, etc. Maybe even make the villages, hamlets, etc bigger.

Basically, give these land something that makes Point A, Point B and Point C different. La Noscea had a few of those..watch towers. That's a good start there. Hell, anything could work, a derelict housing, a torn wall, etc. bottomline, make it so that the land looks a lot less, repeated and more like, actual different part of the zones.

7. Limit Breaks

Almost every FF games in the past has a form of it, why shouldn't FFXIV have it. Personally, I have no idea how it should be implemented at this time, but my main issue is that, to me, limit breaks are actions that are basically 'desperate time, desperate measures' situation. The option is there, but you don't want to waste it unless you're in trouble, and it could make or break the situation.

Basically, I want an ability that may get me out of an 'Oh crap!' situation, and it should be strictly class specific (IE can't be used by other classes), should be powerful, but rarely used. 2hr was the right idea in FFXI, but I feel it could do something better than that.

....and I ran out of ideas at this time! But yeah, that's the gist of it, maybe I'll add my other 3 idea, but basically, this is ten things you want to see in this game, period.

1. Maps that completely deviate from the current form. I want zone variety and zone detail.
2. FFT style unlockable jobs. Include a series of quests.
3. Skillchains from FFXI
4. Something similar to 2 hours. An ultimate move with a long cooldown or very situational requirements.
5. Better transportation
6. Improved combat and spell animations
7. Corsair
8. Gardening
9. Mog House
10. Hair salon as you said. Give me new hair options with upcoming updates.

^ this please

1. More character customization options and the ability to change them. (Hair, Markings, scales for body shapes...)

10. Elimination of "fleeing" mobs during levequests

1. Companies - This includes company events, Company halls, and company crafting

3. dungeons - instanced.

4. AF armor - self explanatory

5. Chocobos - complete with breeding and mini games

6. Airships - enough said

7. Ishgard - {Can I have it}

8. More classes - FFXI ones and new ones unlocked with a quest that is unlocked with certain classes reaching rank 25 or 35.

9. Hamlet - not sure what it is but sounds fun

10. Airship in Mor'Dohna having some use.

1. FFT style unlockable jobs. Include a series of quests.
2. Maps that completely deviate from the current form. I want zone variety and zone detail.
3. Skillchains from FFXI

"4. Hair Salon, barbershop, etc. " I loled

'Empire Besieged'
(A Behest with a purpose!)

'Nation of Allegiance'
(Favour/respect/fame/rank for your city, with FFXI style missions/quests)

'Ishgard'
(We wont get Airships without this city, need to open 'Port Jeuno')

'Chocobos and Carriages'
(Those carriages could be used to move groups to far away camps or hamlets)

'New Classes'
(Mystic, Shepard, Fencer, Enforcer, Arcanist, Musketeer, Samurai, Stavesman, Assassin, Flayer and Bard)

'Rank Up'
(Hmm, 55? 60? 65? 70? 75!?)

'More Zones'
(Need a zone between Thanalan and The Black Shroud at least. An 'Ifrit's Cauldron' type zone north of La Nosca)

• I'm ok having the battle regiment style skillchains, but they need to have more cominations, not all basic skills to basic skills go defense down, I would like to see various combinations do various things including increase damage
• Quest with rewards we want, we wanted a second retainer, why not make us quest it?
• Bestman areas, it seemed like in 11 there were places that even at cap were hard to get to

Here' what I got so far:
1. Bring back the Crtl+C
2. Let Arrow keys to assign as Camera view
3. 2hr Ability
4. CHOCOBO/AIRSHIPS
5. MAIL system (Most MMO have this)
6. Mog House
7. Search function like the FFXI
8. Share a quest (I'd like to be able to share my quest with others)
9. Blank
10. Blank

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=7973#post7973

Here's a thread similar to yours.

1. Open up full customization of all keys with a restore default option in the FFXIV config.
2. Quests with interesting plots and scenes with cutscenes.
3. Chocobos
4. BCNM-Type Encounters
5. More Classes/Different Weapons
6. Remove the Aggro Icon
7. Better Rewards for Quests
8. Either disable non-partipants from being able to see Quest monsters or treat them as normal monsters like FFXI.
9. More slots in the Trade Window
10. More interesting Leves ( Less running back and forth please~~~)

1. Mailbox/delivery system
2. Bigger trade screen
3. The need to bring so many different repair items, bring in repairkits or such that go per craft and tier? Seriously having 15/20 items just for repair is silly.
4. Moghouse
5. Chocobos (chocobo breeding would be awesome)
6. Airships
7. Zones having more things to bring diversity, some ruins, farms, graveyards etc.
8. Changing hairstyles would be very nice
9. More options for linkshells
10. Hotbar and gear settings remembered by the system and not by macro.

I dont really have 10 things that could be implemented asap but...
1. Betters Spell effects and animations(FFXI had better spell effects/animations)
2. Chocobos
3. More customizations and the ability to change them in game(would love more facial/hair options as well as body/arm tattoos).
4.Better Behest "BOSS" type monsters at the end of behests(killing elementals isn't a fun ending).

1. More Dynamic and Interesting Content in General
2. Battle System Improvements
3. Better Battle Animations / Spell Effects
4. Re-Working of Classes / Adding More Customization
5. Re-Balancing of Behests / Dynamic Mechanics Introduced to Make Behests More Interesting and Better
6. Deletion of 'Stamina'
7. Fast, Cheap, Long-Range Inter-City Travel (i.e. Airships, Chocobos, or better yet, Flying Chocobo Airhsip Farms)
8. New Classes
9. Deletion of 'Fatigue'
10. Deletion of Coblyns

1. Real quests like in XI with cutscenes and mobs that give SP. Less hand-holding and better plot.
2. Interesting envirovments. Something unique like in every other FF game. We've all seen grassy fields in 100s of other games already.
3. Reall FF jobs that feel and look different with proper impressive spells.
4. Depth don't make everything so transparent and easy.
5. Didn't you promise us battles on airships when the game was announced?
6. Less anima and proper transportation system.
7. All of the DoH jobs don't have any gameplay it's just a slow lottery. Same applies to DoW classes. Calling them classes is stretching it with gameplay this shallow. Peggle reacquires more skill.
8. I can level from 1 to 50 in one zone?! ARE YOU SERIOUS!? Go try that with XI player base and they'd form riots on the streets.

1. FFT/A job unlocks
2. Player/Guild housing
3. Companies
4. Missing gender counterparts
5. Airships
6. Chocobos
7. Tetra Master (in-game)
8. Post-creation character customization (at least 1-time or pay)
9. Revisit level design of zones
10. Make that Roegadyn give me my gun back.

1- http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...estive-Changes
2- Change battle system. Auto-attack, skillchains,magic burst. Make xp party fun like in ffxi(before tp burns).
3- Change some maps, /no c&p
4- Make dangerous zones that need sneak/invisible.
5- Mog house and Linkshell house.
6- Action House.
7- Chocobos, airships and more regeneration for animas.
8- Hard battle missions that need a good team play.
9- Instances of 30-60min to lvl up and get equipment, 2 to 4 players.
10- Summoner

1. Fix the battle system. Remove stamina. It feels like the time between hitting a button and the ability going off is random and that is really not fun.

2. Residences.

3. LS or company bank for storing crafting material, money, gear etc.

4. Emergency ability like a 2 hour.

5. More interesting zones.

6. Delivery system.

7. Better spell/ability animation.

8. Chocobos!

9. Fix the lag in crowded areas and with retainers and shop NPCs.

10. Jumping

1. A sub job system, not like XI's but sort of like it. Lets say you are a rank 50 thm and you have conj leveled up also to 50, when choosing conj spells for your thm, you could use tier II nukes but not ancient magic. Some of this cross class is ridiculous, especially between mages where the magic isn't gimped too badly cross class, a thm can use all a rank 50 conjurers spells if they wanted to without them being that terrible. I kind of hate this, some people disagree oh well. IMHO it makes the mage classes boring :/

2. Chocobos and airships, its honestly not ok to release XIV in the same state year one of XI was in :[ don't make the same mistakes twice. I forgive you SE but don't do it AGAIN! lol I know you need time and resources...but this is killing my anima :/ and I'm not even tele happy, the zones aren't interesting enough for me to walk from thanalan to to la noscea without me falling asleep :/

3. Better linkshell features, i know you probably have this one waiting for us, rip the code from xi. Let me see where people are in the linkshell, if they are ditching events they shouldn't of logged on >.<

4. Reason to party with the random people of Eorzea I haven't met yet. This was great about XI, i loved being invited to a party in auto translate and then having the party realize after 4 hours of partying that we we're all North Americans. Good times. I also lost a JP player in the Crawler's nest because no one in my party could figure out he was japanese and no one was talking to him in auto translate except me ; ; so sad times too but heck I'd do it again.

5. Campaign battle, don't lie you want it. I'd even take a brenner if they were like "practice against each other for war against beastmen", my whole thing both of these imply a strong tie to our nation-state, which we don't have. I started in Gridania and I never go back there, I would like to but its boring, I put the Windurst music to Gridania and it made the city a million times better, sorry Nobuo >.<

6. Hamlet Defense, they said something like besieged, I like the idea.

7. Interesting NMs, I don't want to fight a roaming nm which is a rip off of a leve NM for the same gear I could get from the levequest, regardless of one being easier.

8. Beastmen npcs, why do I get beast coin in XIV? if you have an answer tell me. As a good XI player I put them on my retainer and keep them forever till they add BCNMs (my wildest dreams). They should implement beastmen npcs, and MMM even, idk going out on a limb for content.

9. Armor that means something. AF or whatever form it may take. The concept design gave me hope but I'd like a sexy RDM set for THM PLEASE O_o. I would like my gear to of taken time to get, not make (as it usually does, weaver leatherworker armorer whatever you leveled up, you must feel my pain with some pieces) The stats on armor are lackluster, I know its more about leveling up yourself and not the pieces you wear but honestly its just about fashion sometimes with people, I can't stand a mage showing up to my party in crafting gear, it burns my cheese, the gear doesn't matter to them so they show up in the crappiest stuff.

10.Music to zones that don't have music. WTF you made music for the Norg looking area in La Noscea that has closed off zones in it, but not basic mines and crofts outside of cities? BOO! sorry, I know that was immature :/ but its lackluster. Also OPEN UP THE ZONES ALREADY IN THE GAME, i.e. the norg looking area, the green triangle in gridania you can't enter, and ISHGARD. (I don't want the chocobo pass quest from XI though ; ;)

1) High-level PvE content focused around large groups.
2) High-level PvE content focused around small groups.
3) Mid-level PvE content focused around large groups (less necessary since it takes 2-3 weeks to hit 50)
4) Mid-level PvE content focused around small groups (less necessary since it takes 2-3 weeks to hit 50).
5) Finalized battle system so that 1-4 can be implemented.
6) More storyline/lore to actually give the world depth.
7) Rewards from 1-4 to give players goals to pursue.
8) LS/company/guild facilities to simplify management of large-scale high-level PvE content.
9) Did I mention content?
10) If not, I'll say it again. Content. Preferably of the sort that's fun, can be done regularly, and gives you something to show for it (not stupid 1-off side quests).

In order:

1.) Linkshell Management Options: ADD/REMOVE a member that is far away or offline.

2.) Gamepad Targeting: UP/DOWN scrolls through party member list

Anything else I can wait for.

1- CHOCOBO/AIRSHIPS
2- Mog House
3- Mail System (i dont want to carry my friends items for days)
4- Search individual person for PT seeking.
5- BCNM,ENM,Assault,ZNM etc.
6- CS to sidequests ! (CS everywhere) Like in Crystal Bearer, once you enter an area/town you get a 10 sec CS that shows you few parts with the name of the map appearing in lower corner.
7- More Job Specipic gear
8- 1HR ability (2HR to long)
9- Small towns (Hamlet) with retainer bell, quests, shops (more life to them)
10- Immersion a la XI

I want to be the Hero, not my NPC, why is it him in most of the CS camera screen time? Why is it him that does all the talking ?
See you in few months

After they finish the battle system changes

1. Chocobos.
2. Airships.
3. Remade party search & level sync.
4. PvE Content for all ranks.
5. Atmospheric/Environmental features.
6. Class diversity.
7. Companies/Linkshell/Personal Housing
8. Spells/Skills/Abilities Animations
9. Real mini-games. (Chocobo raising, tetra master, stuff like that)
10. Engaging group orientated storyline

I agree will most of the previous post and would also like to see some non gameplay related stuff too

1) option for VSYNC (stupid that we have to use a 3rd party program for this)
2) able to ALT-TAB out of full screen (dont want to use windowed)
3) shutdown to windows command , not logout , exit, exit.

I've not heard a word about it from the new development team, so I feel that this merit a spot in my ten things. the idea of barbershop is to change your appearance.

The zones are HUGE, they are seemingly endless, but they're so bland. Thanalan is just nothing but an endless desert wasteland (and I'm sure that's the idea there). I'd like to see more landmarks, more structures. Ancient ruins, or signs of battles, etc. Maybe even make the villages, hamlets, etc bigger.

Basically, give these land something that makes Point A, Point B and Point C different. La Noscea had a few of those..watch towers. That's a good start there. Hell, anything could work, a derelict housing, a torn wall, etc. bottomline, make it so that the land looks a lot less, repeated and more like, actual different part of the zones.

7. Limit Breaks

Almost every FF games in the past has a form of it, why shouldn't FFXIV have it.

This^^ pretty much summed up everything I was gonna say. +1 for saving me time on the writing. I'm pretty sure the entire community feels the same way as well

These, and:

7. Airship
8. Mog House/Auction House/Delivery System
9. More weapon variety for classes
10. FFXI-style targetting (keep hitting F8 to cycle through targets)

I have no problem bringing back working systems from FFXI, because if it ain't broke, don't fix it with something that doesn't work (or at all).
