These are some things I really wish were part of the game I love so much, or that drive me bonkers and wish could be improved. I hope I can get bingo in a year or so. I really want some of these
I love this game and the dev team is amazing for all the fun changes you have made over the years. I hope you can enjoy this bingo card of what I would love to see most in the game.

Additional information for each:
Improve eye color fade from lighting effects: some lighting or dark effects remove nearly all color from my Au ra's eyes, but this happens to everybody. Au ra gets it worse because the limbal ring's light ambience fades the color out of the rest of the eye. I want the selected colors to be more vibrant, not faded inside bright or dark areas. Also, Limbal rings themselves should not change from dark purple to light pink based out external lighting. Limbal rings are a light source, they shouldnt change color.
Hair and eye options from Spoiler Nine: The vibrant colors available on these NPCs is AWESOME!!! PLEASE LET US USE IT!!!
DRK recovery options: DRK feels horribly weak compared to the other tank options in normal content because it is the only tank lacking in recovery options. I have to pay attention as a DRK in normal dungeon pulls while all the other tanks I can hit 1 button, stand up, make a sandwich, come back and hit 1 button and still keep myself alive. I want something to help DRK not die
BLU limited jobs unlocked in old content: I saw my BLU was level 80 so I tried to bring it into a lvl 80 Trust dungeon only to learn it was blocked... for no reason at all... the limited jobs are the ultimate newgame+ jobs, they should be allowed into content they have the levels for such as Trust, Eureka, Bozja. It shouldnt be in duty finder, but there is no reason to lock BLU out of a solo Trust dungeon.
Real Purple dye options: The past 2 expansions have taunted me with the best color in Monstrorum weapons and the Thunderyards Silk armors. I. WANT. THAT. PURPLE. DYE. The icon color of all purple dyes is somehow not available and has taunted me forever.
SCH Eos glam options for fairies: We can glam Eos into Selene, but it would be really cool to glam summon other fairies we have become friends with throughout the game.
Skill keyword search or reference: PCT skill gives "Hyperglue" while under the effect of "Aetherfood" but is unavailable while under the effect of "Subtractivebuffet". I read my skills before trying to use them. I would like an easy way to know which skills cause these keyword effects. PCT just happens to be such an extreme case that its impossible to understand by reading the skills alone without playing it.

AOE spell overkill instead of interrupt: I just spent the past 4.5 seconds casting an aoe attack that is aiming at 20 monsters. My target died just before I finished, so I effectively did NOTHING for 5 seconds. Let me overkill the Namazu corpse when I want to overkill the namazu corpse. My childhood demands that I overkill the random enemies in all FF games. please stop interrupting the attack when targets die.
Allow cone based AOE to function without target: Allow cones to fire in the currently faced direction if used without a target.
Spoiler Nine Inn room: There is lore, an NPC, and a UNIQUE AND AWESOME THEME area that I want to sleep in when I log out. Please add that inn room, I beg of you! I love that area so much!!!
Skill glamour option to use older versions of skills like WHM HOLY: I want the ability to use older graphics for skills. IE glamor Holy onto Holy III so I can use the (my opinion) better looking skill. Broil III over Broil IV, or even Stone over Glare III. Similarly, it would be amazing if there was an option to rainbow random glam healer main attacks so they could at least feel like they are casting more than 1 single attack repeatedly. My WHM has remained lvl 81 even though it is my favorite healer because I will loose access to HOLY which is my favorite spell in the entire game. I like my WHM as the bloodthirstly blood for the blood lily glare mage, not pure flower mage.
Dyeable Shadowless armorsets: These are my favorite sets ever added to the game. Please let me have a dyeable version!
IMPROVE TARGETTING SYSTEM: The targetting system has several infuriating flaws and I want it improved. I should not target a minion on somebody's shoulder through the gigantic aetheryte I was clicking on. It should target what I click on. It would help to have a highlight on what would be targetted if clicked. Tab targetting priority needs so much work... It should never prioritize from the top of the screen on the single pixel of somebody's foot at max range when you NEED to target a 5% hp target in melee range. Please give a target line, and have tab target based on proximity to the visible target line, have an option to highlight what would be targetted next if you hit tab. this would give me a fully functional ability to control targetting in pvp rather than stand around fighting my interface instead of my opponents.
Options for multiple class specific glams: I love the class specific glams, but if I have an amazing SMN glam, I cant use my amazing BLM glam unless I go to town. I would like to have some way to not have to mess around with the glams or farm multiple armors just to make the glam system work. On that note, please remove the class locks from crafter glams. I love so many of them, but am never on that class for long or ever outside of town. if feels like wasted dev time having made them when there are such limits on the player's ability to use them. -

Eye glamour options to give eye effects or glows: I want ancient eyes, or the multicolor GLOWING eyes like the Miqo'te from the first Dawntrail raid. I really just want more control over my character's eyes such that they can become vibrant windows of her soul.
Abort combat option when queue pops: DNC has been in queue for 20+ minutes while farming FATEs on a WHM. Suddenly the queue pops. 45 seconds to run away from combat and switch class. 5 seconds lost figuring out what happened, 20 seconds lost trying to run away and agroing something else. another 15 seconds to get the chocobo out of combat. 5 seconds left.... the game sometimes doesnt feel like you are actually out of combat so it doesnt let you switch to the DNC. Something to make it easier to force switch class back to what we queued for so we dont get an unfair penalty would be nice.
Dye system for material effects: This is heavily inspired by Warframe's voidshell armor system. The Metallic dyes are my favorite dyes, but it would be amazing if I could add that or other material effects to existing dye colors.
Ground target skill placement while moving: Ground placement skills currently need the click and button release to happen in the exact same spot or the skill doesnt happen. This sometimes means the skill just never activates if you have a twitch that moves the cursor when you click resulting in having to move the cursor back to where you hope was the click point. similarly, if your character is moving it is nearly impossible to release the click fast enough. Please increase the distance required to be off from the original placement position so it can still be aborted if way off, but enable it to place without needing to spam the buttons hoping it will finally work. -

Endgame farming lock removed sooner: I have played since Heavensward and have never once done Savage content during patch. A huge reason for this is that I play the game in bursts. 7 weeks of consistent farm of only 1 hour a day is actually harder for me to do than 7 straight hours of grind. My month long burst would be burnt out by the time I finally get the gear for ONE CLASS so the rewards currently provide negative incentive to do them. The lock is fine to have, but its in place for months longer than necessary. I would like it unlocked within a week of the world first fully geared character. This way the raiders still get to feel special, while the rest of us that enjoy playing multiple classes can actually do so on current content. I want to actually enjoy the current content at my own slower yet realistic pace, not be perma locked out behind muiltiple gearsets forever.
Abort cutscene option during queue pop: I am in MSQ cutscene. my queue noise pops. I KNOW this cutscene is at least another 5 minutes long. My options are take a penalty and lose the HOUR i spent waiting for that queue to pop, or SKIP?! the cutscene.... This happened several times in Dawntrail cutscenes, some of them I was never able to find in the neverending journey. I want a way to abort the cutscene so that it would be able to do my queue, and then restart the cutscene without missing anything.
Glamour plate transfer: 10 years worth of glamour plates causes a lot of mix/matched plates. I want to move the gloves from plate 18 to plate 7 and organize the order of the glam plates so I can find the one I am looking for easier. I feel cheated to have to spend millions of gil on dyes just to reorganize my own menu system. -

Split HP/MP and buff/debuff UI bars: split these into their own bars that can be moved where I want them. As is, I cant put debuffs where I want them while still being able to see buffs.
Add more vibrant color options to eye color selection: This is a fantasy. I WANT my vibrant purple eyes that are not possible in reality. I will spent the time to make it look good, but I want the option to exist as the current options feel far too limited.
Damage dash skills: Finish removing damage from dash skills on WAR and PLD, and also return DRK and GNB old dash skills without damage. Plunge is an awesome 2handed sword slam leap, while Shadowstride does not thematically match DRK in any way and makes me feel weird every time I use it.
Fix the global pupil bug: Bug report I.D 26669937. This bug exists on EVERYBODY ALL THE TIME and I have no idea how nobody has talked about it more. Pupils should NOT MOVE INSIDE THE EYES OMG ITS SO CREEPY!!!! why does it effect even miqo'te children in cutscenes on random youtube video quest guides?! I havent seen any example of this bug not being present on any system so I REALLY hope this bingo gets checked off in the next patch
This wasnt in the bingo sheet, but I would also like to see a Melee class that does NOT have any positionals. Melee is hard enough without positionals now that they have more than 3 buttons so I would like to have one that I can try and enjoy without fear of constantly messing that up. -

I also would like to add that I love what the new graphics did to my character's legs! Her glutes finally exist after running all round Eorzea, multiple times over

I ticked what I think they are likely to do at some point, even if some are a while off. The red ones are already a thing as far as I know, so I assume you just want them to do it in a slightly different way.

10-13-2024, 03:24 PMSupersnow845I’m assuming the abort combat and abort cutscene during combat means if you are in combat on the wrong job and cancelling the cutscene so you can watch it again, not be forced to skip it again if stuck on the wrong jobQuote:

No target cone AoE and AoE overkill (instead of cancel cast) is something I never thought about, but now that you mention it...

I desperately want an option to toggle off all those incredibly annoying confirmation pop-ups. Yes, I want to open the door. Yes, I'm sure I want to desynth this trash drop from a dungeon.

Abort cutscene is far more important than abort combat during a queue pop. I permanently missed some Dawntrail cutscenes and have no way to know what they were because this option does not exist.
Is there a reason you think that real purple dyes will never be an option? I ask with tears in my eyes after seeing several recent armors with the undyeable colors I want but not the style of outfit -
10-14-2024, 02:57 PMJeeqbitI agree the targeting system should be better. It's so annoying.Quote:

- Option to use a circle as well as a cone (yes this would get things behind you even more, but this is good for tanks when enemies surround them).
- Cycle through the enemy list, then cycle through enemies not in the enemy list (to account for when you haven't pulled yet on a tank).
- Cycle through the enemies not in the list but that are close (within the cone) on a tank (or make it configurable) in case there are mobs near the party that you didn't get enmity on.
- Configurably target enemies that are actively casting an interruptable attack as priority (yes, contrary to belief, many enemies do this in dungeons).
I specifically meant you can split your Enhancements (aka buffs) from your Enfeeblements (aka debuffs) or adjust the priority of them.Quote:

I personally like them together with "Left Justified I" so if I have debuffs, they appear in front of the buffs making it immediately obvious I'm in trouble.
The HP/MP can't be split. So I put the cross over half of it only.
The queue pop appears over the top of the cutscene and if you enter the duty, it automatically aborts the cutscene. Same in battle really.Quote:
Abort cutscene is far more important than abort combat during a queue pop.
But as one poster said this doesn't apply if you are on a different job than the one you queued as. I can't really relate to that because I wouldn't put myself in such a situation and if I did, I would probably just take the penalty and continue the cutscene.
You can re-watch cutscenes at The Unending Journey at an Inn. It has a list of cutscenes for each quest and for each dungeon. Usually the cutscene will be tied to the quest but in some cases they may be part of the dungeon, so you can check both.Quote:
I permanently missed some Dawntrail cutscenes and have no way to know what they were because this option does not exist.
I didn't really think about it because from my point of view, there are purple dyes and there is even an entire section dedicated to purple dyes.Quote:

All of them except the general-purpose one do seem like overly dark or overly light shades, so maybe you have a point. My guess is they did it this way due to the lighting. They choose colors very carefully in this game based on what will work and contrast well. They may be able to do more now due to the graphics update, we'll have to see. -

Furthermore, the dye system was originally expected to only ever be applied to cloth/leather/mat materials. Metallic fantasy armors like DRG artifacts need more vibrancy in the color to look their best, which is opposite of the original color dye pallet.
Test dye to see what I mean. Idyllshire ilvl240 Hellfire Armor of Fending. It enables a vibrant heroic fantasy metal armor look. Hellfire Mail of Striking uses the same model, but the code for the surfaces was leather/cloth. Nobody uses the Striking version because "Metal" armor parts look like cosplay foam rather than functional armor. I suspect that was when their direction changed, but the dye system didnt keep up.
At least one heroic dev recognized how good purple accents on black can look. Thunderyards Silk coat of Casting. It looks AMAZING. I want to do THAT to other armors, but there is no purple dye... EW's Manusya/monstrorum items used the same purple so the system can support it.
