Some suggestions, mostly quality of life, obvious things

[Fendred]

Please give us more armor models that are inspired by the cultural heritage of each race.

The reasons for this suggestion are:

1) Equipment is generally made not only to be functional, but aesthetically pleasing when donned by the wearer. Ala Mhigans, for instance, look kind of weird when wearing the typical flamboyant end game armor due to their neutral color palette. Another example would be miqo'te trying to wear the worn noct set, which almost looks like they are piloting a suit of medieval style power armor because its just too big for them to be wearing it.

2) The Ala Mhigans in particular were, until recently in history, the most powerful city state in Eorzea. Their city state's banner is an exquisite medieval style gryphon colored gold on a rich purple backdrop. The people of Ala Mhigo also share impressive physical builds and a deep sense of personal pride. So I walk into Little Ala Mhigo hoping to see some remanence of armor and weapons on the level of excellence rivaling any elven or dwarven piece from Tolkien, but instead I am greeted with battle harnesses and some fairly basic armor sets. It would really help emphasize the greatness that was lost when Ala Mhigo fell if we were able to see glimpses of that brilliant nation through its armor, weapons, and the stories refugees bring with those items.

Edit: My memory of the flag was off. Ala Mhigo's flag is actually a white gryphon holding an aquamarine-ish sword with purple background and gold trim. Not really important to the point I was making, but I hate to make mistakes.

Also, female highland hyur need some more symmetrical hair styles. All of their hair styles except for two have some tuft of hair that gives the hair style a very asymmetric bend and often blocks one of the eyes. Just making a variant of one or two of them would be sufficient.

edit: Also, please give us a monk dungeon set that isn't red. Patch 2.2 and 2.3 both gave us red outfits. It would be a welcome change of pace to get a different colored dungeon outfit.

System-wise it is difficult to implement a sort feature for the friends list, but the development team understands the necessity for a feature to organize it better and they will be looking into ways to improve the user-friendliness of it.

I don't wanna be polemic, bot how can something as a sorting feature be hard to implement system wise?
I think that even the first DOS had a function to sort folder names…
If we already have this kind of limits, I'm scared about the future @.@

They probably don't. It's a matter of what their boss wants the programmers working on. Either that or the database portion of the game is poorly optimized, in which case they are probably telling the truth. Databases can get messy if not made properly, and they did make this game in sort of a rush.

It boggles my mind to no end that its "difficult" for you to do something as simple as sort a list.....

How hard can it be to alphabetize a list of names? I wrote a small program to do that when I was 13. Did you code this game in some alien script or something?

I swear, the excuses sometime just make me think the programmers are lazy (and vastly overpaid for what they do based on what I see here and in game)

Once again I'd like the request the ability to search for things without knowing the first letter of the item. For example, "maple" could bring up everything with maple in the name, from "maple log" to "budding maple wand". Even if you were after a specific type of gear beyond simple class and level restrictions like "celata" or "half robe", it should be possible to find things with those text strings in them even though they don't start with that.

However, judging by the above posts, I wonder if it'll be too difficult too.

Once again, this was a feature available in DOS decades ago with a simple asterisk (aka * ) place holder for unknown characters, if anything was even needed at all...

If there's going to be seasonal interior fixtures for sale from the event NPC, please allow all interior fixtures to be salvageable.

PLEASE make it easier to use party finder.

Key examples:

Allow PF to "remember" the conditions manually set during last pf attempt. Which classes/jobs allowed, which classes/jobs omitted.
Allow PF to let us specify classes from unrelated battlecraft categories if either option is valid (example: 7/8, can use a tank or a dps)
Allow us to invite a player who fits a requested spot established in the PF, and edit the PF to omit a class/job reserved for a player, both without being forced to cancel and create a new PF.

The last two or so months we had three dev comments about the difficulty to adjust things. These were basic MMO mandatory cases. For example: save PvP actions & traits spent so when you switch to another job to PvP with, you don't have to default, manually set actions & traits and re-drag the skills to your hotbar again.

All three cases due to PS3's (PS4 too in some of the cases) memory limits. I'd not be surprised if this were the case again. They had poor timing with releasing this game on a 2006 (PS3) launched console. It does hold the game back period.
