General improvement suggestions

You can see that one or the other class is flooded with skills or you can improve a few skills. My suggestions would be:

1. A cut point at a value of thousand is nice to have.
2. The Roman numerals can be replaced or a option to turn them to normal ones. Unfortunately, I do not know Roman numerals. It's the same with the potions.
3. The stones do not need to be reinvented all extensions. Just keep 2 and you're done. A permanent reinvention of names is unnecessary. Works great so far.
4. Raise the weekly cap from 450 to 900. 450 has now become superfluous.
5. The starting values of the races can be removed. These should not play a role in the choice. So currently for the best possible DMG or Heal you have to choose the race with the highest Dexterity, Strength, Int or Willpower value.
6. Eorzea Incognita must be urgently revised. Can't be that many points can't be done BECAUSE you either can't land on them OR they can only be reached with hours of glitching and bugging.
7. better FOV / POV
8. Skill "Break the...." is unnecessary. Until now you have clicked once on the tankstance and a 2nd time if this should be deactivated again. Got this 2 times in 10 years and it was never a long term idear.
9. In general, rebuild the skills combos. Would make a few classes already leaner and easier. Example is Sage. Eucrasie used & you get the DoT displayed. Executed back to dose. Example with Pala = Vortex Cut changes to Thunder Blade when executed etc.
10. Remove Whorl of Death and rework Shadow of Death like Storm's Eye on the Warrior. The DMG buff is then no longer displayed on the opponent but lands in the own status bar. Makes managing much easier since at least I personally don't keep an eye on the opponent's status bar all the time.
11. after login the notification "Achievements about to be completed". In my eyes, such bugs should be fixed rather than patching in adventurer plates or whatever the stuff is called.
12. Be able to accept and deliver freebies while riding.
13. Get Outsidetester back. What has been released untested for months is a disaster. P8S Door Boss and the 1% too much HP show that very clearly.
14. PLS remove the Warrior Aura. Any other Tank dosent have it anymore. So Warrior should get the same.
15. Remove the LVL 45 chest from the LVL 50 quest and put it in the LVL 45. the chest is usless at LVL 50 because first you get a LVL 50 chest OR you get a normal one in HQ from heavensword
16. Everything from this Video
17. Change the Numbers from the Balls Version to real Numbers. Make it easier to see what you have
18. Give all healers the same Rez. There is no need for 4 different names. This makes macros easier AND you only need one for all healers.
19. Dash for Astro and Scholar when?
    
20. Increase drop rate of music rolls from the new normal raid tier
    
21. Reworke M2S. WHY is that a thing again? RNG is always bad
    
22. Reduce the length of the LB Animation. That can be going on for 30 years
    
23. make Jog a permanent thing out of combat and not only AFTER using sprint AND is have to be active AFTER a area switch
24. make it possible to look a a FC to join them and not only players from a FC to join that FC
    
25. again bad design with M6S
    
26. new Eureka Zone is bad. Drop rate is not there. Not worth a relic
    
27. bring back checkpoints to the last savage fights. otherwise turn down the difficult of the fights - Done with 7.4
    
28. stop listen to maybe 2% to 5% of hardcore players that finish savage in day 1 or week 1 and say "to easy". still 75% is on M6S and PF cant clear any of these fights.
    
29. YOU HAVE TO FIX TOXIC PF. joining a rgroup that is just a mechanic in front of you and as feedback “if you can read the description you have your answer” shows how toxic PF has become
    
30. Increase drop rate of mounts. PPL hat 700 kills on zelenia before you can trade the tokens and 1 mount drop
    
31. Fix the low DMG output on Astro. Yes i know that Job buffs other BUT in a simulator Astro does in perfect situation 16k DPS and White Mages does 23K. With 2k difference i am fine BUT 10k to 7k?
32. M2S and M6S bad design. Color and Mecanic wise.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Here and Here great video about the Gear Topic.

Astro rework

1. Earthly Star. Raise postency from 310 to 400 or 500. Copmaring to assies dmg is fine with longer CD
2. Oracle raise the potency to at least 700. Compared to Afflatus Miser dmg is maybe to high BUT for every 2 min burst still to low.
3. Celestial Opposition rework to a instal heal with 400 potency. Astro needs one more instant OGCD not a regen more. With 60 sec CD it is fine.
4. Macrocosmos rework to a ground ability or something else. have it like the bubble from scholar or white mage. rest is the same like right now.
   maybe not 200 potency & 50% of the incoming dmg is healoutput. maybe ONLY 50% from the incoming DMG. Remove the dmg on that skill complete
5. Essential Dignity rework to a flat 600 potency. the risk vs reward thing is not worth it.
6. rework Sun Sign. It has to closer or same like Temperance. One Button to activate the stance & a second click to get the shild & heal / HoT

just my 2 cents.

2.
I = 1
II = 2
III = 3
IV = 4
how hard can it be

3. Awful idea, melee DPS aren't nearly as fun without them (especially DRG and RPR with you having to change from rear to flank or vice versa within one GCD)
4. the mounts being quiet when you stop moving is what motivated me to disable mount music, so this one I would actually really like
8. Shukuchi's entire appeal over those other abilities is that you can move anywhere within a 20 yalm radius, I don't see why you would remove that
9. I would like to see crit chance on the stat window, but I don't see a point in removing the main stats
11. I do think the 2min meta needs to be removed/changed, but there will still be a meta, there always will be
14. Reaper needs less love if anything, IMO being the easiest Melee DPS it should deal the least damage of all 5 (giving it 1k more DPS would put it FAR, FAR in the lead as the strongest DPS)
17. Phase 1 is easy, I don't understand
18. Lots of new players used to stance dance by constantly clicking their tank stance, this makes it more obvious that clicking it again removes it
19. why? whats the point of removing information?
20. Not every job is fun for everyone, LOADS of people love black mage as it is now and personally I think it's perfectly fine as it is
23. as a 100% biased scholar main, I love having 2 seperate near-identical faeries
24. making Scholar more like boring Schol- sorry, I mean Sage, will only make it worse
26. these are some of, if not Sage's best skills in savage, I think they're fine as is
27. keeping up your 1-2-3 combo while managing your cooldowns is part of the challenge
30. if the Devs really do read the forums for player feedback, please do not ruin Ninja's entire class identity
33. ??? the combo already deals a crap ton of damage, they're Ninja's 4th, 6th and 8th most damaging skills over the course of a fight
36. same as 8.
38. Raijus aren't interrupted by other abilities, if you mean the animation gets interrupted then that's just something we're gonna have to deal with if we want cool animations and fast combat
39. the 1% HP was a result of the testers being too good at the game in the first place, and again the door boss is fine

first video: this video is massively outdated and looking the TOP parses it seems like most of the issues have been remedied already
second video: I hate pretty much every single idea in this video, to me the fun of scholar is in optimizing, finding out how to use my Aetherflow to most effectively heal my teammates while leaving some to DPS with and finding times where the Faerie is unnecessary and I can eat it for more damage, sure maybe these would make scholar more "cohesive" but it would also completely ruin the thing that sets it apart from the others, that it makes the healing part of healers moderately fun

anything I didn't respond to I'm indifferent about

you dont like it? you can leave. these just my opinion.

ignorelist & bye

For having a different opinion ?? Are you for real ?? If I were you, I would take a good look at my signature.

On topic, those are personal preferences. They would only improve your gameplay. Maybe take your own advice...you dont like it? you can leave

Lol so you post opinions and dont like people disagreeing. Well this is the forum for everyone. Weird how people have to keep telling others here we can post our opinions on threads freely. . Welcome to the Wild West. Better get your hat and gun ready.

1. ... so should everything be divisible by 1000?
2. You return to the forums after months, spout your same bad takes but now in broken english and you STILL CAN'T read roman numerals from 1 to 10? Elementary students learn this in like 20 minutes.
3. Positionals hardly matter nowadays
4. Which stones?
5. Ah the raise the cap statement from earlier.
6. Considering your english skills i doubt it
7. Yeah make every job more like others...
8. Why remove information?
9. They hardly matter
10. I have never heard that the 2 min burst window will be removed. If anything they work hard to keep it
11. If people in 80+ content still can't equip a jobstone what makes you think those players have done their jobquests?
12. Dont care about that one
13. Wasn't reaper way to overpowered before?
14. Never had a position i couldn't land on
15. "better" <insert stuff>. OK
16. We get it. You can't clear P8S. It's ok.
17. Considering how many tanks sadly don't understand tank stance i disagree
18. Again: why remove information? Even worse: Skills that reduce damage from one skill type (Redmage & Gunbreaker have one each) are now back to guesswork! Terrible idea again.
19. Then don't level it
20. Haven't play Darkknight that much so idk
21. See last point
22. How hard is it to just have one of the two on your hotbar?
23. No. Why make it the same as sage? The active element makes it better
24. I already said that this is a stupid take in that german thread
25. Same with this one. Why you want to increase the power of two of the most powerfuls skills is beyond me. How bad are you at sage?
26. You can have a macro to make it an on/off button
27. Don't know these skillnames, don't care to look them up now
28. Didn't know you could get a level 64 dungeon from "50 / 60 / 70 / 80" /s. Your take makes things LESS CLEAR. How do you not see that?
29. Make ninja boring... great. Can't use the jutsu? Skill issue
30. Lol. You can turn that off
31. What do you even mean with freebies?
32. Why?
33. See last point
34. Didn't play reaper yet
35. No
36. No
37. Don't know about that
38. Where do you get the info that content has been released untested?
39. You make everything easier but this has to be harder? Also: i thought the jutsus should be removed.
40. I hardly think this is on purpose

Really helpful tip for you: If you just want to "express" your "ideas" without people pointing out the obvious flaws: instead of making a thread open word (or another document or text editing program) write the stuff in there and keep it there :) No comments ever

This is definitely the most post of all time. Do you actually think like this or is this an elaborate troll?

Just wanna highlight my favourites like "remove Ninjutsu and give NIN a resource structure similar to SAM" (lmao) or "rework Black Mage because I don't like it".

I think you tried to write a Letter at SE, you accidentally posted it to a forum with players instead. Common mistake.

With Kassatsu come ONLY Hyosho Ranryu and Goka Mekkayku

---

Remove Ninjutsu from Ninja hmmm....sure. Now lets remove white magic from white mage, black magic from black mage, songs from bard and summons from summoner....

Tbh it took me a long time to learn the Roman values, as I have grown up with the numeric values. It's not a big deal, but I'd still appreciate an option to play with numeric values instead.

Thankfully roman numerals are numeric values :) They also follow a pattern unlike arabic numerals

customisable action change settings
as ps5 player u quite like the system, i just wish i could utilize to my specific hotbar needs

Literally skill issue.

A. Glamour dresser more spaces and outfits.
B. Tackle box,materia box,dye box raid coin box.
C. Convert key items inventorypage 2 space to actual inventory space
D. All raid item you can exchange for rewards are now key items etc have separate inventory.
E. Upgraded chocobo.
F. Dragon riding flying mount turbo boost.
G. Armory chest upgrades more spaces. Seperate combat/doh/dol space.
H Leg slot like face slot for tights stockings.
I. Hair accessories slot for bows ribbons pins.

What's R2S? M2S?

Best and most interesting fight of the tier. Hard disagree. Destroy the DDR script dancing, more rng please.

FF14 creates MMORPG where you NEED to communicate to play the game and build community....

FF14 creates anti-community TOS that enables troll reporters to decide WHO gets to talk and play......

Trolls just talking or playing does not harm anyone; this is false narrative.

Allowing the trolls to control the report system and an anti-community TOS to suspend and ban players at will? That is how you NOT build a MMO community.

FF14 TOS does not stop and get rid of trolls. FF14 TOS is RUN by and for the trolls.

the only thing I do agree with is the tomestone cap and everything being weekly cap. It only feel like a F2P experience and we pay for such like what harm could I cause other then forcing people to go play something else like people play to play not to be locked after a couple run.

I disagree with changing Ninja's Shukuchi to work the same as Reaper and Dancer's movement abilities. That would require a reduction in range, and you would have less freedom as to where you can move. Ground targeting requires some precision, but I think that makes sense for Ninja in terms of job identity.

Maybe they could add a second movement ability alongside it, but Shukuchi should stay the way it is now.

The reason why they can’t remove the artificial mechanics aka 123 combos, positionals and button bloat that is further fueled by redundant and idiotic aoe combos and rotations is because if they do the whole game will fall apart due to it not having a real direction or compelling design.

A class at level 10 in Vanilla WoW (4-6 skills) has better and deeper gameplay than any job here.

I agree completely. The Roman empire has fallen too long ago and modern games like FF14 should not be relying on such an archaic numeric system. If anything, I would change every number in the game to its written form for more clarity.

FF14 would become FFFourteen, Fire |||| would become Fire Four, and 'potency of DCXL' would become 'potency of six hundred forty'.
Please add this.

Totally honest question, I'm sorry in advance if it sounds very snobbish but... Isn't this a neccesary learning in the vast majority of Western school curricula?

I don't know if they are, but I, V and X should be common enough that most people know them and know how they work.

nope it is not commen enough and ppl are diffenerent. forcing them into stuff they cant do / learn is a bad thing. a lot of ppl that include myself have disabilities, some need more time to understand stuff, some cant learn different symboles, numbers and so on.
so a option to switch to a different front is a better way for everyone tahn forcing them to someting.

Playing Devil's advocate, it can be a lot more about how it *feels*, it's not so much someone can't read Roman numerals, it's that they struggle to make sense of them on the fly, and need to stop and think through what they are looking at, because it is used so sparingly in their daily lives it is an unpracticed skill, so I understand the preference for avoiding Roman numerals, even if I hardly have this issue, I am one of the people who insists in typing Final Fantasy game titles with Roman numerals every time.

Pilgrims overall is nice, but moving forward I hope they've learned they do not need to introduce items required to farm quantum. I literally just throw them out because they are worthless and sell for like 100 gil a piece. Just 4 items taking up inventory space.

Update for M2S, M6S and M10S

I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at your school. Roman numerals are a thing and have been for a thousand years.

this thread is awesome

I know its an old thread but it kind of accentuates this point. Quest designs need to be improved upon. Leveling this character and doing every MSQ and sidequest has reminded of just how God damn boring it is. Every quest, and I do mean literally every quest, is just go talk to an npc, click a sparkle, or kill 2-3 weak mobs. Can we not get something like Air Force One but out in the open world for sidequests/MSQ (Spoiler the train MSQ cutscene in DT would've been perfect for an Air Force One type quest rather than just having me watch my character man the cannon)? Or hell just any of the gold saucer stuff reskinned and repurposed for the open world?

*push* Astro rework suggestions
