Final Fantasy XIV so far...

[Vahzl]

A few things I have heard are being looked at and would strongly encourage:

- Gridania/Black Shroud redesign <--- Please - The shroud is the only place I consistently face problems when doing quests of my level, as even when going through area's of monsters my level, there are occasionally higher level ones that pop and kill me, and it is just far too big for a starter area, and it is more confusing than Yhoator Jungle

- Power Levelling - I don't want this thread to be another one of those, but I am enjoying it, it gives you a nice alternative to the grind, however it could use to be nerfed a little

- New races - No issue with this, but would like to see the current players be offered a once only chance to choose the new ones, but not a permanent service, as once you start giving out character change services, players reps are irrelevant, and one of the key factors in XI was your reputation with other players.

- PvP - I avoided Ballista and Brenner in XI, as it just didn't feel like PvP was needed in the game. Give players a coliseum, fine, but please don't start focusing on balancing to avoid PvP issues, as this is when the game loses fun (for me).

- Mailbox System - Once this makes it into the game, you will be looking at someone more than willing to pay monthly, as in my personal opinion, this is all that is lacking now as far as core gameplay elements are concerned. I want so bad and so often to be able to send items to my LS, and we have to use the still clunky trade window, and also interrupt their activities to do so. Give us a 10/12 slot trade window, faster reactions on it, and a mailbox, and im good to go.

- Mog House/Player Housing/Guild Housing - This is something of a luxury I would hope is still being considered, but not something that we need right now. Will be nice in the future though.

- Card Game/Chocobo Digging - Another luxury for the future, but hopefully we will see it at some point.

Agree! It is a pain to try and cut trees in the Black Shroud. I think they are working on smaller maps anyway, so this will be fixed soon.

- Power Levelling - I don't want this thread to be another one of those, but I am enjoying it, it gives you a nice alternative to the grind, however it could use to be nerfed a little.

I do not really like it, but I also do not have any problems with it. I am not going to make use of it until I reach level 50 with at least one class. Maybe I will use it a little when I am trying to level up 2nd or 3rd classes to get certain abilities for my main. They should nerf it a little bit, but this is really not a deal breaker for me.

- New races - No issue with this, but would like to see the current players be offered a once only chance to choose the new ones, but not a permanent service, as once you start giving out character change services, players reps are irrelevant, and one of the key factors in XI was your reputation with other players.

Don't mind new class, don't mind if they would offer character change services. I will not change anyway and it really has no influence on my fun, so whatever works for SE.

- PvP - I avoided Ballista and Brenner in XI, as it just didn't feel like PvP was needed in the game. Give players a coliseum, fine, but please don't start focusing on balancing to avoid PvP issues, as this is when the game loses fun (for me).

PvP should and will be OPTIONAL. Yoshi confirmed this, this is the only thing I really feel very strongly about. If there is any kind of world PvP you have to participate in I will quit. I like PvP sometimes, but only when I want to .... I really do not want to get forced to engage in PvP.

- Mailbox System - Once this makes it into the game, you will be looking at someone more than willing to pay monthly, as in my personal opinion, this is all that is lacking now as far as core gameplay elements are concerned. I want so bad and so often to be able to send items to my LS, and we have to use the still clunky trade window, and also interrupt their activities to do so.

- Mog House/Player Housing/Guild Housing - This is something of a luxury I would hope is still being considered, but not something that we need right now. Will be nice in the future though.

They really should add housing, but now is not the time. This is a future they can work on after the game gets pay to play.

- Card Game/Chocobo Digging - Another luxury for the future, but hopefully we will see it at some point.

Just made a topic about digging before you made this post, please support so the devs might see it. I loved digging in 11 and I would love it even more in 14!

I am very excited to see what they will do with this, its one of the reasons my linkshell choose Grid as its Grand Company, I hope it gets a complete re-design. I want to feel like I am in a forest not in a ditch under a forest, although I know this would not happen due to design constraints but if they could I would love for them to redesign it like Witcher 2's Flotsam forest, I havent see a better designed forest on any other game I have played.

Don't tell me it's not because of the Nophica's poster.
