I'm seriously curious - What do YOU want FFXIV to be?

[KimmieFace1017]

I want dynamis level events

I want them to A) shut down the forums and make the game themselves at this point while continuing to take feedback in a healthy manner from their support site. or B) become rather "Nazi" about deleting threads and posts that are not constructive to the forums at all.

Not saying you fit into that thread category, I just think this would help the game a lot.

I don't see the problem with wanting this game to be more like XI. If it's going to be similar to something, then better a Final Fantasy title than anything else. People keep saying this game isn't XI-2. Guess what, it's not WoW either, it's not Guild Wars, it's not Conan, it's not Rift, it's not Aion. A lot of people came to this game expecting it to be the spiritual successor to XI. Not a clone, but something that had the same sort of feel to it with some big new flavors as well.

There are plenty of western titles to play out there; I came here for Final Fantasy. And if SE wants to do something entirely new and fresh with XIV, I'm cool with that too, but I don't want a bastardized JapWest MMO pulling most of its inspiration from a genre which is already flooded. I want Final Fantasy.

in other words you want sugar coating and bowing to them instead of honest feedback.

I want it to be a fun sandbox with no levels.

i want it to be a strictly PC game that way i wont have to worry about any console limitations such as optimization and gamepad controls.

Hmmm...

I want a better crafting system (such as different mini-games for each craft).
I want more stuff to do (like dungeons, side quests that give SP, party grinding actually worth it...)
I want more equipment options (right now there's only 2 or 3 per every 6 or 10 ranks)
I want jobs
I want Chocobos/Airships
I want more players >_>

EDIT:
I want more classes
I want the classes to be more unique
I want jobs to be role definers and classes to be primary skillset definers

I want it to be an MMO that I can log on for 1-2 hours and get good progress during the week and then log on on the weekends for 4+ hours and still have new things to do, new things to discover, areas to explore, fun monsters to fight, treasure to find...etc.

I want it to be like WoW. The community, the battle system, the graphics, the music, the mounts, the pvp, and cool armor and bosses. The level system was good in WoW since it actually required skill rather then leveling off the same monster over and over.

WoW was such a good game. FFXI and FFXIV both are terrible and require no, or very little, skill. That's why WoW had so many more players, who aren't just immature kids like most of the children on these forums.

Basically if I can't get a WoW remake I'll be happy with anything so long as it's storyline doesn't suck as much as FF7's or FF3's (the worst FF's of all time).

Also, like, such as, if Africa could get more maps of the USA and like such as they were more educated than maps such as then like.

I'm dead serious.

Negative feedback isnt always honest feedback. People blow up at the smallest things long before they see how they're implemented.
I agree with zaviermhigo, they need to stop listening to the whining and crying and focus on the constructive feedback. (whether negative or positive)

As for myself, i honestly cant wait to see where they are taking this and trust them to make a game i want to play. I already enjoy playing most of the time, im just looking forward to additions, refinements, and a more FF feel.
I do not want to see them copy too much from FFXI, but they should learn from it.

CoP 2.0

Basically, I want an engaging storyline with memorable characters and a number of fights that require strategy and teamwork to win.
