7.0 onwards hopes and requests

As 7.0 will be the start of the next chapter in the 14 saga what are some of your far-flung hopes for changes or additions they can make to the game? Things like “more inventory” or “different hairstyles” don’t belong here because things like that are fairly likely anyway. This is about things that are unlikely or would be difficult to implement.
Myself, I’d like to see the following:

1. Locations (Thanalan, Coerthas, Gyr Abania etc.) being merged into one zone. In other words, instead of having to go to a zone barrier or gate, seeing a loading screen and being teleported to the new area (moving from Old Gridania to Central Shround for example), I’d like to just be able to seamlessly walk from southern thanalan to central thanalan. Or go straight from Rhalgr’s Reach to the Peaks with no loading screen. This would mean having to add a lot of geometry as areas between a lot of zones simply don’t exist but it would be cool.

1.5. Do the same for the first four cities. Ul’dah, Gridania and Limsa were one zone in 1.0 instead of being split between two. Ishgard could be a bit of a challenge since the Pillars are so far above Foundation but this is a thread about far flung hopes.

2. Letting players start as jobs. I know they can’t do this for lore reasons, but encountering level 52 gladiators because they don’t realize jobs are a thing is grating to say the least. Alternatively, make it mandatory to have a job stone equipped to enter any dungeon or trial or raid above level 30.

3. Viera and Hrothgar helmets. Nobody cares that clipping will occur. There are mods that do this already and I honestly can’t understand why the devs are so picky about what headpieces these races can and cannot wear.

4. Graphics enhancement. 14 is a gorgeous game and I love the art direction but there are a lot of ways it could look better. Better lighting and anti-aliasing would be nice. As would HDR support.

5. WoW like collection system. TLDR: it’s a list of every item (weapon, mount, armor piece, minion) in the game and how to get it.

6. Overhauled glam system. The glamour dresser is nice but it is somewhat unintuitive. Being able to just pick from any piece of gear I’ve ever had in my armory chest or inventory and apply that wherever I am would be amazing.

7. Savage 24 man raids. DRS and BA are incredibly fun and I’d love to see more content like them. Once per expansion isn’t quite enough. Hard, large scale content is something 14 really lacks and adding a savage (or extreme) version would be cool. If each boss were roughly as hard as an extreme trial and if the trash packs had a mechanic or two I think it would be really cool. How this would fit into the loot table is another discussion entirely and one I’m not suited to.

Do you guys think I’m right or wrong? What did I nail and what did I miss? What major changes would you like to see come to the game in the future?

1. I'd love to have an updated glamour system. The transmog system in wow circa BfA was pretty cool and I wouldn't mind having a similar system here.

2. Starting the early classes as Jobs would be cool, but I think it would take way too much time on the back end for little to no actual difference. The Job quests are just an extension of class quests with a different name. After starting a new alt, I can see how easy it could be for a new player to get to 50+ without doing their class/job quests given how we automatically get certain skills now. Perhaps the best/easiest option would be to make a quest requiring the player to do their job quest as part of the MSQ. That way they're forced to be aware of it and have to consciously choose to continue playing with their class from that point on.

3a. Graphics updates would be nice. I understand SE's desire to let people with old machines be able to continue to run the game, but technology's improved a lot since 2013. I can still run the game on the low-end laptop I got in 2011 so even a current-day low-end laptop could run it better than my old Lalafell of a machine. I'm just not sure if this would be the best use of resources if CBU3 doesn't get new staff.

3b. I'd be willing to pay $50 or $60 for a DLC that doesn't provide new content but updates the graphics for everything in the game from 2.0 through to the end of 6.0...provided 7.0 has improved graphics.

1. Remove job stones. They haven't held any functional value since 2.0, are a waste of inventory space, and actually obstruct job changes.

2. Remove off-handed weapons. The only combat job that uses the slot is PLD and these days both the sword and shield drop together in (almost?) everything. It makes no sense that NIN, DNC, and RDM don't use the slot but PLD does, and I don't think people would miss mismatching weapons on one class. I have always thought the offhand weapons for every DoH were ugly, contrived, and a waste of money...they should all be totally eliminated.

3. Just like ranged DPS are sorted into two archetypes, Aiming and Casting, the melee DPS should be split into two groups. Maiming and Striking should remain "pure" Melee, while Scouting should have its stats retooled to be more of a mid-range hybrid melee class. Half of NIN's moves have a distance of 20 y, and I think the job should be designed to lean more into that unique role. Second Scouting class should be added, my vote is for Blitzballer.

4. Remove Embolden and Brotherhood from RDM and MNK. Give those abilities to Scouting Jobs so they can be party buffers. Embolden especially never really felt like RDM.

5. Completely separate SCH from SMN and just make SCH start at level 30 ala the HW jobs. Give SCH Bio and Miasma, make it the new "warlock" with arcane faerie magicks.

6. Make SCH a DoT Mage and make a few more DoT jobs. Design raids and trials around prioritizing placing debuffs instead of erasing them from existence like literally everything else (elemental damage, piercing/slashing/blunt, positionals, etc. etc.).

7. Get rid of the Glamour Dresser, or at least remove the equipment cap. I would say that we should have a "deposit" system where you can permanently add something to the list in exchange for losing it to the aether, but even that system feels 10 years outdated. So even better than a deposit system would be to just automatically allow glams of all past acquired equipment like in GW2 or WoW.

8. Allow players to change glams anywhere. I shouldn't have to teleport just to deuglify the most recent piece of equipment the MSQ gave me.

9. Menu overhaul. There are wayyyyy too many pop-ups and animation delays to do even the simplest of things quickly. Many menus arbitrarily close out or backtrack, and there is no simple way to just "exit." Walking away should be enough to exit any menu. Retainer selling should be drag-and-drop with click-and-type pricing. Materia melding and unmelding should be drag-and-drop.

10. Speed walking in sanctuaries.

11. Mandatory job tutorials at every ten levels. Everyone would benefit from them.

12. Ryne and Gaia to return to prominence in the story, confirmed as a couple. Ryne with a class change to have a better weapon. Maybe a gunblade. Gaia with less emo clothes.

13. Hard confirmation that Siren from Pharos Sirius is a Meteion.

14. Green Mage. Greathammer. Mage Tank. Earth and plant abilities.

I probably want a lot of the things you've already listed more than anything else I can think of, so let's go through those first:

1. I would like these changes a lot. It's definitely work, and it doesn't seem likely, but I thought the same thing about flying in 2.0 areas and they managed to do that. The city-states are really noticeably tiny and awkward compared to later city locations like the Crystarium and Old Sharlayan with the new aethernet map.

2. I'd go further with this and ask to have the classes and all their quests be completely removed and replaced with the jobs and new quests that actually make sense for them. None of the 1.0 class lore fits with the way the game works now. Of course this is a ridiculously huge undertaking for no obvious benefit to the game financially, but that's what we're going for here right?

3. This one's still weird to me because they obviously don't care about clipping anywhere else - tails, capes, weapons, mounts, hairstyles, collars, hoods that are down, etc. The fact that it's only ears that seem to bother them about clipping is just supremely weird to me.

4. Better AA and HDR would be nice for the people who can take advantage of it, but we really need the higher resolution textures they've teased once or twice. The game is so serious about its story, it's the main reason many people including myself play, and yet everyone looks horrible in that story's cutscenes because of the low-res textures. This seems like the biggest undertaking of them all, so I hope they're serious about those teases.

5. I stopped playing WoW long before such a thing existed, but I've been complaining for a while now about how much of a mess all the previous and current endgame trade-in NPCs are. I play the game all the time and I still never know which of the like 60 NPCs across 10+ areas have the gear I'm looking for. I want a system of in-game links like all the bad gacha phone games have where you see something and in its description is a button that tells you all the places it comes from right there in the game.

6. Maybe this is even crazier than the textures to the dev team, but I also want a system for glamours that just works like the mount or minion guides. As I understand it that's how WoW and a few other MMOs work now too, just keeps track of everything you've ever acquired so you don't have to keep a copy of it all. My glamour dresser and my retainers are full of a bunch of gear I don't even use for glamours just because I'm worried that if I do want to use it I won't want to reacquire it. This type of system would be a godsend.


For additional crazy requests:

A. This one isn't even crazy, I just want the aesthetician to be able to change anything within a race/sex and leave just those two to fantasia. It would be more fair for hrothgar at the very least, and there'd still be tons of people buying fantasia to change race anyway.

B. Since this is for 7.0, let's see a complete change-up in the expansion/patch content formula! When 3.0 came out we all had no idea what to expect, but since then it's all been the same thing - dungeons every odd level, crafted gear every even level, six new areas with two of them split in half at the start (for no real reason except to adhere to the formula either now, apparently), four aether currents locked behind side quests and one behind the MSQ that has you leave the area behind, full-party raids in even patches and alliance raids in odd patches. I know the devs live in constant fear of producing another Diadem, but knowing exactly what they'll add and when they'll add it is excruciating! Give us 20 dungeons instead of 10, give us eight new areas that are smaller in scale each, give us areas we can fly in from the start and ones we can't until after the MSQ is finished, give us easy full-party content and challenging alliance and light party content, just...give us something, anything that is different.

C. For the completely impossible, I'd really like an overhaul of the housing system. The thing has just been a disaster ever since they put individuals in the exact same system, and it's only getting worse with more people joining all the time who can't use it. We'll never get this one, but I can always dream.

D. This goes along with the OP #2, but changes to several existing jobs and ridiculous justifications they've given over the years for why they are the way they are. Split SMN and SCH from each other. Get rid of BRD and replace it with Ranger/Hunter, possibly alongside a Bard that actually works like one equipping musical instruments and using them to apply debuffs to enemies and buffs to the party. Stop telling us "Rogue is Thief" when classes aren't even relevant to the game and put in an actual Thief. Make Blue Mage a real job and not a minigame. Like the rest, it sounds like it would never happen, but they did give Summoner full sized summons despite saying for years it would never work.

remove lalafells

I hope for at least one space mission. With a space map and space suit. Maybe some low gravity action or battle ship fights.

1.) probably not impossible but a hassle to do this to all the zones, and for what? Immersion! I feel it’s not a dealbreaker to have gated zones if we dwell to hard on that we go right back to 1.0

2.)Classes are relics of a bygone era, but to do that they need to remove the guilds or rearrange them which…isn’t worth the shallow price of starting with the job. I’d advice them to lower the starting jobs of 60/70/80 to make it easier to attain then as new players, but nothing more

3.) Agreed nothing to argue

4.) the point of why ff14 looks the way it looks it’s because to make it easy on computers and console players. I fear this will just please graphics whore and nothing more. Disagree

5.) agreed…but Wow-like will clearly attract the wrong opinion

6.) Agreed? At the very least increase the cap 400 isn’t enough

7.) Agreed, I’d love content similar to eureka or some explorative content for hardcore players, or just DR

1) an optional hq texture pack for people who can run it

2) old city states rejoined. I think we can all handle a reunited limsa

3) flip toggle on hairstyles and/or headgear

4) seperate the conjoined twin that is smn/sch its gotten weird

5) changing starting city or letting us replay an alternate city's starting quests

Hard pass. It sounds like you want WoW's raiding and one of the reasons why I prefer this game is because high-end content doesn't require big groups. WoW decimated 10 man high-end raiding which means one of the things I loved to do most is no longer possible in that game. I don't want high-end raiding for smaller groups to become less relevant or effectively gone in a second game. Once was enough.

I'm fine with large scale savage being in very specific content like Bozja but I would be exceptionally concerned and disappointed if it became more than that because it would put 8-man raiding's status at risk.

Better updated textures on most of the stuff.

just a few nick picks at this point,

First off Id like more done with grand companies. Next I would like for some questionable actions. I would love the entire "good light thing to be droped in 7.0 completely.

Make us mercernys or just adventures, Yes I know typically you play the hero in final fantasy.

However typically (with expection for the first 5 final fantasys) you started out as common thief's/mercs etc. You even get sent to a dungeon which we have yet had happen in ffxiv, the scions got their imprisonment time and the most we got was leash scene in EndWalker..

(I know this won't happan but make use of skill glamors for every job)

subjob-dream but won't happen.

Perhaps make something worth grinding for like unique role skills you have to fate farm for or something.

On a minor note, anybody else notice some characters necks are disproportionately long or sometimes bent at odd angles? I'd like to see that fixed although its not high priority.

I want this outfit. Any other previous job outfit would also be appreciated.

Loporrits as a playable race.

Smileton as an actual housing area. I want my neighbors on the walls and ceilings and inside and outside and upside down.

(Gil sink idea) NPC that makes dyable lv 1 0 stat untradable replicas of armor pieces and weapons dropped in duties you have cleared... for a moderate fee. At this point I honestly don't see an actual glamour log happening. This would probably be the next best thing and require the smallest amount of work on SE's part and would help curb the economy inflation a bit.

Stop using 8 player raids as a method to clutter my inventory with tokens

Stop giving the mount whistles on ex trials to the person that spent 95% of the battle face down on the floor. Make that guy collect 99 totems for it if they don't want to learn mechanics. >.>

BLU having the same lvl cap as all other jobs and being able to enter instanced content like Bozja and Eureka which do not require a specific party role composition.

Music settings in menus where you can set music scores you've obtained to specific things. Like choosing your battle music, boss music, etc or leave it empty to get the game defaults we have now.

I knew the minute they released new stuff Ishgard would become MEH and people would want something else lol.
I wish they would just nuke housing completely and reworking it from the ground up and let everyone start fresh.
I would like cosmetic upgrades to skills you can get from achievements, activities, etc. maybe a few pallet changes or just overall changes to the way the skills appear or maybe having access to older skills that were pruned and their visuals.
I would also like for them at 7.0 to give players the option of starting from ARR to live the whole story or starting in 7.0 for a fresh start with the new story. Then they can go back and play the old shit through newgame+ or live the mystery of all the crazy stuff that happened before and figuring it out.

I am a relatively easy person to please so I dont have a lot of demands I sort of take things as they come. Oh, one last thing, that is a big deal:

Make a deep dungeon that each floor is patches of older dungeons slapped together. Go through all the dungeons, make "cut" places and tell it to reassemble them randomly. Make the mobs randomized from all those dungeons and just keep scaling up their stats as you go through. That way I can have harder 4man content to run with friends that doesn't require them to constantly add or tune new dungeons. Just let us use assets like before. Similar to how ultimate started "were just gonna reuse assets and make you something hard is that ok?" hell yeah its ok, LETS GOOO YOSHIIII.

Ouch! That sounds like you've encountered this in dusk vigil or something. That said, having run a few fresh alts recently, the early game flow almost encourages this to happen, believe it or not. What ends up happening is that you start off a fresh character, and hopefully run MSQ and class quests as you level up. The trouble is that between the MSQ exp rewards and the road to 80 exp buff, you gain so much exp in a single combat class that you will hit 30 likely around the time you're messing around Camp Drybone in the MSQ.

The trouble is that when the game guides you into completing up to the level 30 class quest in this situation without a problem, but right after you turn in the level 30 class quest, the guildmaster goes silent. There's no quest marker, not even red showing that you're missing prerequisites, no indication that there's anything at all beyond level 30 for your class. At that point, I'd expect new/unaware players to simply shrug and get on with their MSQ. Once you progress the MSQ to complete "Sylph-management", that (in conjunction with having completed the level 30 class quest) will make the job quest appear. If I recall correctly, though, the completion of said quest doesn't give up any notification or other fanfare that there's something special waiting for you back at your guild master to transition from class to job.

For the most part, I don't think there's much of a reason why this particular quest is so important lore-wise to unlock jobs (exception: Summoner as the first summoner quest doesn't make sense without beating Ifrit in "Lord of the Inferno" which is just 4 quests before this one). It would be nice to not be blocked so hard by the MSQ requirement to unlock jobs. It seems like for the most part that simply having airship travel unlocked is good enough and it's hard to imagine someone reaching level 30 without airship travel/dungeon access.

At the very least, there needs to be some fanfare when you satisfy the requirements for the job quest to show up so that it's obvious that you can go get an upgrade.

Of course, that won't help players like one high level archer I came across that had their job stone and chose to not equip it because they were intimidated by all the new skills bard has.

Sorry, but no thanks to that one. I'm already annoyed enough by stuff locked behind savage/ultimate that I'll probably never get around to (I did prog and complete one savage tier, but I'm not doing it again as the short-term joys of victory at each step simply wasn't worth the cost in the long run). FFXIV's idea of "difficult" is simply boring highly choreographed dance numbers that's like playing DDR with fingers. Once you pull back the curtain of mechanics it just becomes boring high-stakes repetition where any mistake by you or your party often ends up in a wipe and you start from the top. Adding 16 more people to the mix will only make it harder by virtue of more wipes during progression made worse by the fact that in such content, the time limit makes wipes costlier on earlier fights by taking away time from later fights, and progression on end fights will be harder due to the necessity of clearing all early fights on every attempt. This is unlike current savage where you can simply retry the later fights after clearing earlier fights just once each week.

IMO, we need bosses that can truly surprise parties with random/intelligent attack patterns which adapt rather than follow a fixed script. This would likely necessitate the near complete removal of "you made a mistake? You're dead" type of mechanics and simply make mistakes hurt a ton. Ultimately, it'd be more invigorating to play the part of MVP and make some key moves that reverse the party's fortunes and give your team the fighting chance to actually recover from the brink of a wipe.

Texture update. Esp for hair.
I would love to have the crafting job gear not be locked to specific crafting jobs.
And I know this is wishful thinking... but would really, really like it if my current face had an option to toggle these lines in the middle of my face. I've had this face since ARR and I still don't like seeing these lines. (And I have a strong dislike for all the other male miqo faces.)

I'm not sure if they're adding any more jobs to FFXIV, but if they surprise us down the road then...lets see.

Beastmaster - Unlocked through Lyon rem Helsos - One Handed Axe and Shield (that way Gladiator/Paladin won't feel so lonely now).
Gambler - Unlocked in the Gold Saucer (guy that will look like Setzer maybe)? - They use Cards and Dice as weapons.
Gunner - Dual Pistols
Mystic Knight - One-handed Magic Sword, maybe might make this available in Thavnair or Dalmasca (aftermath) same for Beastmaster.

Zones -

I hope they were serious about re-visiting Dalmasca at some point in the future, and Mystic Knight and Beastmaster would feel aesthetically at home there.

1.0 classic server

I'd like to see these.

More big raid contents. 24-40 men.
Graphics update. Fix the jagged edge please. Maximum is now Very High, new Maximum (with warnings about performance issues for lower spec rigs) will increase even more system requirements. Optional DirectX 12 (can start with beta and warnings about it) with Ray Tracing, DLSS and FSR.
The usual new jobs.
Inventory needs like "Windows" selections. Hold CTRL for multple one by one, Hold SHIFT for top to bottom. Also, move all "job type" will be great as well. Annoying to do it one by one. Unless I missed it and it is already available.
No complaints about music. I still did not turn on my media player. Unlike WoW.

Having hairstyles / aesthician services tied in to glamour plates.

So we can avoid clipping of longer hair with so many chest piece items and their collars, look better with hats etc. Even make the glam plates with those features have the 2000 gil Aesthetician fee you choose to have it attached to that plate.

Or allowing certain longer hairstyles to have a pony tail option or to be able to put it up in a bun.. much like how you can press a button on some head pieces and it will open a visor or put your sunglasses on your head.

So much hair clipping ><

1) Cap at level 100.

2) No more limited jobs. Give us the real BLU.

3) New expanded zones (like everything Emet-selch said). No more fetch quests in the zone. Something new and fresh that may be risky on paper but doable like every or most zones are like thier own kind of Bozja. Maybe even Wild enough to have open world PvP in at least one of the zones, or being able to don a subjob.

4) jerbs jerbs jerbs. They say NoBoDy WaNts tO wORK, I say, give us more jerbs. PUP, BST, GEO, Green Mage, Viking, Rune Knight, Actual Ranger/Sniper/Hunter, Necromancer, Gambler

5) Glamour Log

6) Put some respeck on 1.0 and reimagine the cutscenes/questing

I know they have stuff planned I think they said for like the next decade, but honestly this list pretty much exhausts what I personally want. Anything else decent they come up with is just the icing on the cake.

Have all new game like what they did with pso2 new genesis. Eorzea been saved now make 7.0 where you get summoned to whole world or travel the universe searching for other worlds that need saved.

I could get behind that, not because I think it'd be more fun than playing the current game, but because I'd probably enjoy running through 1.x's MSQ.

Give me customizable text boxes aka Chrono Cross.

A lot of good ideas here, but one thing I haven't seen mentioned that I would love is to be able to join an Ishgardian Grand Company. They rejoined the Eorzean Alliance, there should be a Grand Company we can join. I want a real reason to make Ishgard my "home"...we'll finally be able to have a house there (hopefully I can get one), and I would love being able to have my Grand Company there as well.

1. Scholar to become the offical new poison DoT mage if that spot can't be filled by a new job class. So that means giving it's old poison DoT spell back and adding new ones and maybe making them somehow work with Broil to perform extra damage.

2. Give female Viera some of the male Viera hairstyles. Quite a few of the male hairstyles look really great! Meanwhile, Viera just mostly have that weird feathered hair look...

3. Expand the Companion system to allow use have at least two other companions, besides our standard Chocobo we can summon. Like our old Magitek Reaper from 2.0 and Midgarsomr (the mount) from Heavensward.

And since our standard Chocobo focuses just on single target moves, maybe our Magitek Reaper, for example, could focus on AoE strikes for multiple enemies. While Midgarsomr does a little bit of both single target and AoE attacks, along with DoT damage with his dragon's breath.

4. Add Gaius' version of the Gunblade and fighting style as a new Job Class. We need at least one official Magitek job class from Garlemaud, so why not his weapon and fighting style?

The job could be called "Infantry" or "Soldier"(the latter being a little nod to FF7's "SOLDIER", where the same gear as Ninja since it focuses mostly on dealing damage and moving rather quickly and allows you to use many of Gaius' trademark skills and abilities he's displayed throughout FFXIV.

The job's LB3 ability could be the same technique used by Gaius to take down Varro, the new legatus of the XIVth legion, but maybe on a much larger scale.

Has there been a thread like this already..,
I wouldn't know.., but since it was bumped..,

A new set of Racial gear[Like Starter gear at lvl 1] but for the new beginning of 7.0
I like that we have the outfit tataru gives us along the journey. But we need something new.[I don't think anyone cares enough about racial gear to demand unlocking in all forms, so I won't ask-unless it's hempen smallclothes unlocking]
{New Racial Clothes}

unlikely, but New Relics for old expansions for new classes. [Zodiac, Anima, etc etc]

Expand old Zones, with new areas and mobs. the ARR zones have so much unused space. when flight came available I was, admittedly hoping they'd add more to the areas. alas nothing. With this alot of life can be brought into old areas. despite still not having much.[and since there is flight, more are to actually walk and land on]

I could go on and on. like topics of shops, Accountwide, Glamour, etc. etc. but that's all covered in other threads. as well as the usual unlocks.

as well as demands for SE to make the game going forwards unlocked, so they don't have to waste their time later on unlocking in the THIRD PLACE.

1. They could remove job stones as an inventory item and make them a menu visual feature, to be honest. It's indeed a waste of space, since you can't interact with that in any other mean. Plus those slots might as well go to weapons too because of future jobs.

2. I'm sorry, for this one I would miss. The only reason I play PLD is because I can use the invisible shield to look like I'm wielding a 1-hander. I would say actually the opposite: find a way to make Ninjas, Dancers and Red Mages be able to mix and match their offhands!

I want Glamour Role restrictions gone

2. I'm sorry, for this one I would miss. The only reason I play PLD is because I can use the invisible shield to look like I'm wielding a 1-hander. I would say actually the opposite: find a way to make Ninjas, Dancers and Red Mages be able to mix and match their offhands!

agreed on the shield removal..,
people use the shield and sword to flex different ex, savages, or ultimates with a different title.

I think it should be somewhat expanded.
not mechanically, but visually via glamour dresser. but I mean this for daggers. not shields.
since many also would mix and match em.


and I wouldn't know how the Job stones would change the DRK Journal Mechanics. but it is what it is. and don't really have a horse in that conversation.[mostly curious of how it'd change other aspects of the game]

Give me back 4.0 healers. (SCH and AST) at the very least. Never really played WHM myself

Undo all the homogenization crap they've done.

Alright then.

De-Instance a few (if not all) areas in the original four city-states. You've implemented flying in the ARR areas, now time to give them some love.
Longer hairstyles (Perhaps longer versions of some of the existing hairstyles). We've been asking for them for the longest time. Clipping be damned.
An actual archer job that has nothing to do with singing (Maybe having different arrows being their key mechanic. Such as Ice Arrow being their version of Doton).
More options for character customization. Even bring in some of the racial hairstyles to other races and add more skin tone options (Been wanting some of the Keeper of the Sun tanned skin options for Au'Ra and Viera). Maybe allow selection of front and back hairstyles.
Another hairstyle contest.

I hope they analyze the content they deliver and how roles interact with it, it doesn't make sense that healers, for example, are designed the way they are with so little offensive depth and so much heal bloat when the content is either predictable, low hitting or both and when the msq asks for healer to deal more damage than healing or physical ranged dps to do that little damage compared to melee when they're giving melee uptime for free. I also hope they can undo a lot of the homogenization of the jobs overall, it already made the combat in shb feel repetitive and stale and in EW those problems are even more present.

2. Letting players start as jobs. I know they can’t do this for lore reasons, but encountering level 52 gladiators because they don’t realize jobs are a thing is grating to say the least. Alternatively, make it mandatory to have a job stone equipped to enter any dungeon or trial or raid above level 30.

I really don't care about their goofy lore, as much as they do. I truly believe you should be able to start out as any job, so long as you own the expansion. In XI, you could unlock ANY job at 30, so long as you purchased the respective expansion.

3. Viera and Hrothgar helmets. Nobody cares that clipping will occur. There are mods that do this already and I honestly can’t understand why the devs are so picky about what headpieces these races can and cannot wear.

People still crying about clipping in 2022? Then go play real life if you don't want clipping.

5. WoW like collection system. TLDR: it’s a list of every item (weapon, mount, armor piece, minion) in the game and how to get it.

That is cool, as a semi WoW player.

6. Overhauled glam system. The glamour dresser is nice but it is somewhat unintuitive. Being able to just pick from any piece of gear I’ve ever had in my armory chest or inventory and apply that wherever I am would be amazing.


Indeed, XI did it.
"But it wuss after 10 yeers"
Well....Its is about that damn time then.........

Viera hair tufts around the ears are cut off for certain hairstyles and all usable headgear.

Take the stuffed Bom Boko and the Stuffed Alpha , throw them off the edge of eternity.

*cries*

DRK Rework.......................

please ?
