Give suggestions for things you'd pay RL money for

I'd definitely pay for vanity gear modeled after characters from other Final Fantasy games.

Fish Aquarium for my fish
Mounted fish trophies
unlimited fantasia

Extra FC Garden Spaces
Market Board for the FC House or Personal Room ...... SERIOUSLY! LOL

With Slepnir being in the cash shop they have already set the precedent for that to not be the case, instead they have taken things that were already actually in the game (and was since before the game was even out) and remove it and then instead lock it being a cash wall. Slepnir was almost certaintly going to be a drop from Odin EX, instead cut out and thrown in the Cash Shop.

The mount existed in game but was not obtainable, and I don't believe they ever specified where it would be obtained from. You have to start somewhere with a cash shop, and this mount is highly sought after from what I gather on the forums. Now if they had announced it as being an Odin EX drop at some point (instead of it being assumed) I would totally be on board with the yelling and the screaming and the anger.

That said all because I'm willing to pay for it doesn't mean everyone should. And being Odin's mount I could definitely agree on this not being a Cash Shop item (though perhaps a different skinned version of it could).

Can I pay to make sure all the people that threatened to quit the last few days actually quit?

Definitely level 1 vanity clothing/gear with no job restrictions.

Additional hairstyles/facial features

I would even buy primal mounts, since they're so very hard to obtain otherwise.

This thread is making me actually think! Hmm...

How about one-time use Chocobo Color Feed? Like Han Lemons, only for certain specific popular colors. Dalamud Red, Soot Black, Lavender Purple, etc. Not Black/White/Silver/Gold, though. I still think those should be Chocobo Race rewards. This is just for colors that can be attained after feeding chocobos color changing feed multiple times, but is a more instantaneous change after one fruit rather than a gradual change using several.

Let's see... certain furniture pieces that would be insanely hard, if not impossible to craft by crafting jobs. Portraits of the Garlean Legates, posters of popular NPCs (Who doesn't want a poster of Longhaft?), Adventurer Statues (I saw this implemented in DCUO. Basically, it's a statue that stores an adventurer's glamour data of their currently equipped item set and casts that glamour data in a solid statue of any material in the game, depending on the statue used), etc.

Illusion Crystals, which would be single-use items that transform a character into a different model for 30 minutes (similar to the current All Saint's Wake illusions).

Emote Trinkets, which would be permanent-use or single-use items that perform a specific emote when used, maybe a special graphical effect along with it. Like, say... Setzer's Dice. Upon their use, a character would shake the two six-sided dice in their hands and throw them either on the floor or the nearest table surface. When the dice land, a graphical effect displays the number rolled.

That's all I can think of at the moment.

I'd pay for highly detailed dye able clothing that does not share it's model with any other clothing, such as a Chocobo themed Lolita dress/set.

Added some things to my previous response, but then I realized how long this thread is now D: So I'll just post them here.

I basically wanted to expand on my comment about purchasing the pure white color for chocobos. I'd buy it as long as it's in a simplistic form, like a pill that takes it straight to the pure white color, or that brightens and enhances the chocobo's current feather color/texture so that snow white looks more like pure white. I wouldn't buy it if it was an extension of the current dye system, because IMO that would be starting to toe the line between fencing actual in game content not related to the expansion behind a paywall.

Also,
apps, maybe... like for instance, maybe something that could alert players when housing plots come available in game, or a market app that works similar to the FFXIAH website. I'd pay a couple dollars for those.

The ability to purchase crysta direct through paypal.

And the ability of choosing between all Hempen Camise styles on one character, regardless of that character's race. ^^

Since limited server resources seem to be getting in the way of getting player housing separaate from the FC housing I think that I would be willing to pay for a large private instanced piece of land with proper farmland, large chocobo stables and a house which I can also use as an FC base or just let friends/randoms visit.
