    Would be awesome if they could forego all that and just start an NA branch of devs that could add more western influenced gaming aspects and could also respond better to community requests.

    This would only work under very specific conditions (otherwise you see things like NC Soft's mess where Korea is ahead of the rest of the world in terms of content along with several other issues). Not to mention this would mean NA data centers and JP data center would need to be further split, which would rub some people the wrong way.

    An additional medium for passing feedback along to the devs would be wonderful, though.

    * The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.
    * Design ideas:
    Red Mage - COMPLETE (https://tinyurl.com/y6tsbnjh), Chemist - Second Pass (https://tinyurl.com/ssuog88), Thief - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/vdjpkoa), Rune Fencer - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/y3fomdp2)
