- The entire UI and Menu system still needs a massive overhaul. What we have now functions but not as it should. Everything from inventory management, to the time it takes to load individual windows. A more icon/tooltip centric system would be better.
- Targeting with a mouse needs to be overhauled. I have no desire to tab through targets. I want to click with ease and not have to worry about terrible camera mechanics and locking on the enemy. This is clearly an issue with PS3 development, so maybe they need to consider scrapping PS3 development which would improve other aspects of the game as well.
- Non-leve/quest related content. Ie: FF Card games, Chocobo Raising, Player Housing, Guild Housing. Grinding is incredibly boring and so are levequests. Bringing content that gets people away from monotonous tasks improves the overall experience of the game. These shouldn't be rushed out just to put out content, but they need to come eventually before the game is P2P (if it can even return to P2P).
- Overhaul linkshell/guild administration.
- Allow addon development. Independent developers can fix what they find necessary as it comes along. SE has the opportunity to see what is developed and then later implement it into the core game.
-----
And then my list of top 5 things that should happen to this game but won't.
- PS3 Development Scrapped
- Servers become language and region localized (not IP locked)
- The current job system is replaced by an FF Tactics style system.
- City/Street building that is instanced. Linkshells/Guilds can purchase a street to centralize their products and their own player housing.
- The game is shut down and SE gives us all a complementary free SE game (in the next two years) if we show our FFXIV Key. Then SE returns to the MMO development and makes a new worthwhile MMO for the PC only, where everything works on launch.
I ommitted battle revisions because they are in the works and we don't know how they will function yet.
