If you were in charge of ffxiv for one day and could change anything.....

I was under the impression they lifted the restrictions right after the game launched. How else do you explain all the twitch feeds and tutorial videos on youtube?

you can stream and make videos but you must adhere to this.

Which restricts things like these that no matter who i showed to back in the day made them interested in XI

Seems to me that a lot of you would get in the door and waste development time. I'm glad something like this would never happen.

Some people also seem to think they can get a crap load of work done in a single day. These people likely have no respect or understanding for software development and its intricacies.

it also seems hardware and infastructure limitations, and I don't mean PS3, I mean half of these would turn the servers to slag.

Are you saying I would have UNLIMITED POWAH?!

[Nahara]

I would perform an emergency 24 hour maintenance, not to fix anything, but just to watch the forums blow up in rage.

There's not much of anything that exists in-game that you could change in a day...


But, I'd go straight to the planning documents and tweak or add stuff to the future plans of the game:

• Plans for gear progression would change from linear to horizontal once lvl caps are reached. (more procs, variety, skill boosts). -- basically add incomparable stats and abilities to gear
• See the plans for future materia types, and add suggestions for ones that enhance skills/abilities.
• Get Akihiko Yoshida to work on new FFXIV-themed designs for the Zodiac espers *for all I know, he might have done this already
• Add plans for dungeons of the 4 fiends (FFI) and hard mode versions with the Archfiends (FFIV)
• Add plans to introduce the Ark Angels (FFXI-Divine Might) to the game at some point -- either storyline fight or primal-style battle.
• Edit plans for some of the future zones to be more expansive and open -- similar to the Velt (FFVI), the Calm Lands (FFX), La Theine Plateu (FFXI) or Archylte Steppe (FFXIII)
• Introduce plans for unique limit break animations for each job.

The hardcore Final Fantasy fanbase that keeps defending everything no matter how bad it actually is and thus the real issues will never get fixed.

[Delsus]

I would browse the forums and decide from there who to bring the banhammer out on.

[Reynhart]

I'd make a ONE LEVEL penalty to people who leave Duty Finder at the first mistake.
And I mean a real level down.

.... i would get rid of the official Forums and focus on developing the Game the way i and SE wants it. And don't let Armchair devs and their delusional reasoning ruin it even more.
