Ideas and Changes (full version)
These are all the Ideas and Changes I’ve accumulated for the last couple months from many players on the Final fantasy XIV forums and Facebook. Both contributing some amazing ideas. Let’s keep the idea pool going what would you like to see in XIV what are your pet peeves with the game.
Private Job quests that influence certain abilities either by reducing recast times or increasing the potency of some abilities.
I feel this would help us connect more with are class/role. they could do it to similar way to Tribe quests in you have to repeat the process over a long period of time to eventually get your reward.
Linked into this I feel new abilities should be learned/ refined. +Dmg +radius of certain moves + potency of spells. etc
“world to small” After playing Final fantasy XI the world seems really small, I'm well aware that XI having many more expansions and time to grow. XIV seems so small. we just need more places to go to.
Also "SHIPS" and certain locations that can't be taken teleported to. for example a 20minute trip. long enough for fisherman. If there are quests at the new location having access restricted you can help spread quests out.
Notorious Monster + DOL DOH revsions
Notorious Monsters with Shared Drops with a % much like Atma there is only a chance you can get a drop from a Fate. we need Monsters that spawn to similar effect of XI but whoever attacks them has a chance. also they should not appear on the Radar make them hard to find. Make there drops Sellable to help motivate players to farm certain Monsters.
DOL + DOH need to have some sort of Skill tree's and or a star of mastery system where (1 star = standard amount) (5 stars +20% HQ +5 Quantity) (10 stars +50% HQ +10 Quantity) each taking a great deal of time to acquire also referring back to the Skill trees make it so there are like 3 branches you can only choose to go all the way down one so you can only craft/gather certain things making some items rarer than others pending on who and what people pick. Spicing up these classes/jobs.
Chocobo + Private Limit break
Chocobo Adapting/ development- perhaps have more than one chocobo and the more you use it in a certain terrain will eventually change its colour but also give you a benefit. for example if you run around a lot in a wet area your chocobo turns light blue, if you run in a rocky hilly area turns red, if you jump a lot it perhaps develops bigger wings that let you glide a little further. All this could tie into a sort of mini game/ secret area limitless potential for example if you develop a red and a blue mix it can run up Waterfalls.
A private Limit Break guage. we should each have a private Limit break gauge which takes (a long long time to charge) somewhat of way to help you kill things or Dungeon that you may find difficult like Extreme modes. They can make it cost Gil to charge the gauge or maybe take 12hours to charge a single gauge
Rufalus- Ragnorok + Zider Ragnarok's ideas
Rufalus-Ragnarok
Lvl 50 Levequests which award Mythology Tomes as an alternative to doing loads of Dungeons for Animus Book
Zider-Ragnarok
Make Dungeons available as “Open World” areas
Once you have beaten, say, Sastasha, the pirates should logically all be dead, so why not let us explore it solo and without a time limit? Simply let us zone in, put some normal mobs in there, add some mining/fishing spots, plenty of opportunity to add even more quest hubs too. And you don't even have to work much on design since the areas are already there!
Akiza's Ideas and Meier's
Akiza-Leviathan
On private limit breaks
Lvl 1 limit break should take 5min to get
Lvl 2 limit break should take 10min to get
Lvl 3 limit break should take 15min to get
Because the way this game is designed and how fast content can be completed no skill should have more than a 5min cd
Meier-Sargatanas
NM and HNM
Further ideas from Norafox
Secondly, I upgraded to the Collector's Edition of the game, I did it for the fat chocobo mount. I'm level 15, and I can't actually use any of the mounts I received until a level 20 quest. I bought the mounts, with actual money, and I still can't use them. See my frustration here?
Of course I'm going to level and get the quest, but I literally only upgraded to use the mount, and I still can't. It's a little bit upsetting
Another suggestion, when you fast travel, I would really like to see the fast travel options on a map. I don't remember every single name of the places I want to go. It's a lot easier for me to see where it is on a map. That way, I can see how close it is to a quest I'm doing, since that's the only reason I use the Aetheryte Stones to fast travel
futher...replying DAM 1000 word cap!!
Your last one, they already improved it once, before they only had for example (Costa del sol) as a location now they improved by making it (Eastern La Noscea - Costa del sol) this helped players a great deal cause we then knew where we were going before we accidently teleported to the wrong location. which I can tell you I did many a time.
Maybe to link into your idea maybe they could make a small image of the location and a few of the key features there pop up when you hover over the teleport location maybe that would be some what helpful and might solve the problem a little. great idea
Richardo's ideas and reply

Final fantasy Characters Costumes. Like a Complete set of Squall Leonheart.
Giantguy- Famfrit
To expand on that Idea a little bit, We all get Costumes from different events be it Halloween, Christmas special events like Lightning/final fantasy 13 or the final fantasy 11 / Dragon quest event. in all these events they give us gear we wear for like 5 minutes then we place into are Armoire, and it never gets to see the light of day ever again unless requested.
Why not make Costumes a Menu option in the Character menu screen every time we unlock a costume it becomes a 1 click option and perhaps only appears on are character but doesn't effect are gear so we can go into battle as a Reindeer or a Snowman
Costumes/skins and Covers
Costumes/Skins/Covers
Perhaps adding to that idea, we can actually put the Skin/cover of a player on, actually run around as Lightning, Squall, Zidane or Vivi any famous Character really.
And maybe Job Specific Skins so if you’re a blackmage you can be Vivi etc
