If you could add anything to FFXIV and know it would be implemented, what would it be

The title says it all. What one thing would you add to FFXIV if it would definitely be implemented? Have fun! This could also give some idea's to the Devs!

A publicly viewable reputation system that accurately(*) represents a players reputation both in terms of behavior and standard of play so that the consequences (both good and bad) of a player's behavior/standard of play can actually bite.

(*) - this is an ideal world situation so the system does accurately represent reputation based on behavior and play, it's not simply one of those popularity based things where 100 random people can down-vote you into oblivion

Seconding this. Also, interesting stats on our armor.

Basic and advanced string filters for /tells; nearly all the RMT spam would be ridiculously easy to block with them.

I'd add swimming. All that pretty water and we can't even play in it. :(

Bot-be-Gone

It would be this amazing macro that would spam RMT tells by sending them whispers counting from 1 to 1,000,000, one /tell at a time. And then, when it finishes, the RMT's PC bursts into flames and they go into eternal damnation and NEVER WHISPER ME AGAIN, GODDAMNIT.

[EDIT] I may or may not have gotten 10 /tells before my character even loaded into the game yesterday...

A group parser

The ability to add people to a duty from my friend list, an LS, or FC list. So frustrating to be in a dungeon and want to get a tank or healer to fill a spot, but the friend that wishes to help has to play Double Roulette to try and get into THAT duty to help out.

A mount & minion of the Phoenix from coil. Flying mount of course.

Token systems for older drops/boss-dropped mats. The number of times I've done Mog Ex trying to get a Kingly Whisker literally makes my soul want to shrivel and die. I don't need to be handed anything on a silver plate, but it would be incredibly nice to know that after 50, 100, whatever number of runs, I would no longer have to sacrifice my FC mates on the altar of RNGesus for the chance to even SEE a drop.

VIT to act as STR on tanks so that we can have accessories that make sense.

More horizontal progression, which would require more stats and ability modifications on gear.

An 8 man queue for Wolve's Den that randomizes the members into 2 groups for quick fun 4vs4 with LS/PF and FC mates.

Requires 2 Tanks, 2 Healers, 2 Melee, 2 Ranged.

Being the Warrior of Darkness lol (just for a while tho :))

And on that note, being able to decide if I want to continue being the Warrior of Light or move to the dark side...

A Glamour Catalog.

Mine is simple. A moomba minion would make me pretty happy... And a gunblade class, that would make me really happy

1. Some form of added horizontal progression to go along with the vertical we already have

2. Additional challenging content for the middle tier player (i.e. not mind numbingly easy or ultra Alex Savage hard)

3. A glamour log so we can keep glamours for future use, while being able to discard the actual equipment

The Qu Tribe from FF9 as a Beastman race.

Horizontal progression.

Solo q while choco out or in a party

More stuff for pvp

Make our retainers companions so we can adventure with them. It would be great to be able to roam around in tandem with one of our retainers instead of our companion chocobo (or as well as?). We could even use them to make up the missing spot in a light party.

Given all the threads about players unable to figure out how to use more than just Heavy Shot or Blizzard in their rotations, I hardly think there will be a problem implementing sufficient AI to at least achieve average levels of DPS from our retainers.

Following on from that, let us take our Chocobo companions with us into 4-man dungeons when running unsync'd.




OK, a thought just occurred to me, a player with a male character and 3 female retainers....Charlies Angels? I wonder if anyone would have too much fun playing with their retainers (now there is a sentence...) to bother grouping with real people?
;)

More inventory/armory space :x

A dye & glamour system like GW2.

Glamour - Any gear that you use (or specificially "unlock") is available for your glamouring needs. No need to keep the original piece - the image is saved in a wardrobe tab.
Dyes (a) - Most gear pieces have at least 2-4 dyeable sections, which can be dyed different colors
Dyes (b) - Also, once you obtain a dye, it is saved permanently without needing to buy more.


I know a common argument against permanent dyes is that it would kill the demand on these items since people only have to purchase them once. It definitely hasn't killed the market in GW2. They have 450+ dyes available, and they are always releasing more. Makes for a fun collectible item. I've been working at my set for years, not even half-way done.

GLASSES + HAT COMBO

ugh please this is all i want

1.) Blacklist/report function without limits
2.) Tutorial content so players can learn their jobs properly.
3.) Single player and dual player dungeon content

Bonus: A substitute for Wanderer's Minuet for those that don't want to cast arrows. (As a bard I sympathize, I really do, but even I cant deny WM adds a lot of dmg but a good chunk of the bards I have partied with from 52-60 in DF still refuse to use it because they hate how it plays)

Glasses + Hats
Animal Crossing Character System, all my alts can live at the same house, and I can choose who to play with for that session...saving me fantasia monies.

Skill-based matchmaking for Dungeon Finder.
Of course it won't work, barely effecting players matched with other "good" players, and making life in the lower ranks a living hell. I just want to watch the world burn.

more things to do at max lvl :s

A dodo mount!

Some sort of system where we can enhance and tweak skills

Body sliders!

So, if we level cap a job, we can undertake a series of quests to perfect our skills and earn an enhanced skill trait?

Sounds great.

time trials and a server leaderboard for speedrunners, dungeon boss achievements for achievement hunters, end of dungeon review board(like the one in pvp)

A animation log where we can view every and all animations from skills, LB1-3 and even enemy and monster animations. And it can be from a book or something like the one in the inn.

FFXIV has such cool animations that you can easily miss during the heat of battle or some you may never ever see.

I hear ya! I really like glasses glamoured but it means no hats any more. Would be nice to perma the glasses and them just allow headgear over it when possible (i.e. not wearing masks or full helms).

Gear & weapons from all previous Square-Enix/Square-Soft titles (like Star Ocean & all the other FF games)... That or to have a weapon glamour of a Gunblade that works on MCH & PLD weapons (or just the class, I could be one of those range/melee hybrids we're its range attacks have to be from a specific min distance from target & its combos mix charging in for 1 close attack then hoping back out for a range shot... I mean come on if they can make Lightning do this in Dissidea then why not here? its like Dragoon's hopping with Mechanist's gun shooting... damn wrote to much & ranted a bit my bad)

List of hopeful jobs (The order I want them)
Samurai
Calculator
Sky Pirate
Dragoner
Gambler
Game Hunter
Knight
Puppet Master
Mediator
Oracle
Holy Knight
Red Mage
Time Mage

A system like the Fame/Karma system from Ultima Online

Make the hunt log be more indepth like LoTRO.
More titles that are more grindy (Say kill 100k of one moster and you get some title like dragon slayer or OPO Opo slayer, maybe make it 1 million individual kills.)
Allow us to prestige meaning instead of gaining levels we attune ourselves to our job making it more powerful with the ability to tweak our skills and abilitys
More character customization (I would really love a bust slider ;)

Get rid of the raid timer and give us back big raids like Ulduar and ICC from world of warcraft. 10-15 boss mobs per raid with trash in between please. The raids we have now are....primal battles nothing more and not raids.

God gods sake make a way for us to view every set of armor n the game depending on our job!

Allow us to name and customize our weapons adding different glowing affects. My wifes Ilevel 200 staff glows but my Ilevel 200 ninja swords dont? Wth?

Maybe let us upgrade our weapons (Kinda like the relic quest but more in depth. Allow us to say absorb different monster traits/abilities into the weapons to give our weapons different colors and do maybe RNG bonus damage depending on the different things our weapons absorbed?)

Make our chosen god and birthday mean something in the game like it did in FF tactics?

Allow archers/bars to run around the map and not lose DPS (This was a stupid choice)

Allow classes to get to level 50 without being an a specific job. I want to be a full time archer (Ranger if you will), not a stupid bard. Give classes their own set of 30-60 abilities and titles and quests and stuff.

Make the MSQ OPTIONAL!! I know you are doing this in 4.0 and onwards but doing it now would be awesome for those who want to level alts fate grinding and not doing stupid quests.

A more in-depth character creation screen, preferably with sliders. Maybe include the ability to play as a mix-race character.
