Some suggestions, mostly quality of life, obvious things

Add, automatically join party chat when joining a party.[Snip]

There is no "join[ing]" of party chat, it's an automatic thing of being in a party o.O That's like saying can we automatically be put inside a house when we go through said house's front door...

If you mean set party chat as the default chat channel while you're in a party, I hope this would only be an option and that it would be turned off by default. Often I'm in a conversation with LS/FC members when I join a party so this option would do far more harm than good in my case. More options are always good though so I'm not saying they shouldn't implement it, just that it shouldn't be mandatory nor default.

My suggestion is an announcement of when your chocobo is ready to be trained in the stable again, just like when your retainers return from their ventures.

yes, I mean when we join a party, regardless of what chat we were in, we are now in party chat, as an option.

Chocobo ready to be trained announcement sounds like a fine idea.

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)

Remember when the game was released and it was difficult for them to maintain a queue of over 250 people to get into the game?

yea...

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.

even if the database is messy, it is nothing that cannot be sorted by a client-side routine. they are at max 200 voices…

Are there any plans to add in a auto-attack/defend if we get attack by an enemy while we are away for a minute to get something to eat/drink or use the lavatory.

Wait what? Really? Are you serious? This I have to disagree with. Common sense should tell you to go afk some where safe not in the middle of a zone where you can be stomped on by the 1st mob that pops and aggro's you. i understand this is a game but let's be serious how much effort dose it take to tele back to a ton or the nearest camp?

Let's have some responsibility from the player's and not have this game become more of a candy land than it already is.

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

Yes I totally agree, it's retarded that we can't take down certain furnishings for reasons such as that, I get that we can't resell it but it's like this was designed as a really evil and unfair way to remove gil from the game by cheating some of the more well-off players (most of who didn't get this way from coincidence, buying gil or winning the Eeorzia Lottery). My Morbol chandelier is worth several hundred thousand gil on my server, do they think I'd just take a baseball bat to it or something to put up a seasonable one because I'd be too lazy to have it uninstalled? Just like how it is with someone leaving a FC or worse getting kicked who has a personal room and loses all the good stuff... "Derp guess I'll pack up all the cheap generic NPC furnishings for my next place, leave all my favorite things I worked hard for, toss in a few sticks of dynamite and I'm done!"

How about the 1000 character limit on initial posts, this is feeling like Twitter. Even the one above I had to go back and edit to post the whole thing and it's not very long.

New Icon for special quests that unlock duty finder content

I like the idea of having a specific quest Icon for Special quests that can unlock new Duty Finder Content such as Dungeon instances, Boss Fights, PVP, guild leves and guild hests, that you enter through the duty finder tool and which are not part of the main Story line.

An Icon that you can see above the heads of the NPC's and on the map as well to visualize that you can unlock new instances when commencing with that quest. I think a differentiation is quiet important because these quests are not just regular quests, which are just for leveling purposes and you would expect when you see an exclamation mark above the NPC.


And on the other Hand, you can see where you can unlock new Content (from updates or what so ever) that you havent made so far.. (for beginners and returning Players).


Some example Icons:

New Menu section - Recommandations -> Unlockable content

Furthermore i'd like to see a new menu section where you can see recommandations which duty finder Content you havent unlocked so far and where you can receive the specific quest for getting access to that dungeon.

This section could be divided in:
- Story missions (where can i continue my storyline?)
- Job missions
- dungeon instances
- Boss instances
- guild leves and guild hests
- PVP (?)


Firstly to make it more easy for beginners to see where they can unlock new content, because its mostly not possible to know where do i get Access to a specific content such as PVP, King Moogle extreme etc.
And even when i did, i seriously cant tell a newbie anymore where he can unlock it without looking it up on the Internet.

And there is also a big risk that People wont ever see optional dungeons such as "Halatali" because they just dont even know that these dungeons exist.

Music option to turn off battle music similar to the mount music option.
