Future Ideas thread for 4.00 Stormblood and beyond/Quality of Life.

Aside from the obvious...

- Have the crafting log pull crafting mats from retainer inventory if you don't have enough in personal inventory

In my opinion, this would be the most amazing QoL update ever.

In my opinion, this would be the most amazing QoL update ever.

Incidentally it could also reduce congestion and crowding around Retainer bells at peak times as well, since you could happily craft elsewhere in peace and then sell your stuff when ready to.

/equip body "flame suit"

1) Content that is relevant for more than a few months

2) More depth of gear and gearing up, more like FFXI Seekers of Adoulin and less than whatever this mess is

3) Hamlet Defense

4) Change gear acquisition caps to be per job or role, or remove them completely.

5) Path Companion

6) Merit and Job points system, make it so that the people who invest their time and money with your product have something to show for it.

-When it comes to traveling overseas to explore the new country in Stormblood can we please get on ships with other people this was one of my favourite things about FFXI. I really hate being alone in air ships and bots it's more fun when you have people to enjoy the ride with. Which depends how long the travel time is but I hope it's like 6 minutes on the boat it would be amazing to be able to do some fishing on the ocean.

1. A vast Eorzean library that tells us about each of the many places in game we've visited in detail. Like a detailed history description of Ul'dah and Bela'diah, the background about the history of individual beast tribes besides what we know now and background info on individual characters like Raubahn, Lahabreha and the previous Warriors of Light.

2. Historical Quests: To get to better know the world your playing in along with the people who live in it. This could allow us to unlock books to add to my first idea above to give us something to do besides what we already have.

3. Monster description Log: I always wanted to know what the monsters we encounter in the game are besides what we see when fighting them. I'd like to at least get a brief description of who they are and what they're abilites are once we defeat a certainn amount of them.

4. Tour of Eorzea: It'd be nice to just take a flight on an airship or a ride on a choco-cart and just look around at the scenery surrounding us with friends or random people without getting attacked by a monster or just floating around in the air alone.

5. Photo Quests: This could work with my tour idea as a weekly tour quest or just a stand alone quest-free option where people take photos of the people and places around Eorzea and can be turned into pictures to be hung up in homes and apartments.

g/f reply:
-Return of 1.0 animations including pivot and run-stop. These were fantastic little touches.


no............... anything but this, i found this to be jarring it would happen any time you walk too set ups and the jerky motion was an eye sore. it was also a big reason people ate aoe because the server not fully registering you stop till your foot did it. :/

This is never gonna happen but it would be a great idea to completely remove fates in stormblood. They have become a waste of 1 and 0 to be honest with you at this point in the the game they should put those resources into something better.

1. Character movements from 1.0. Character weight to walking looks so much more immersive.
2. Better textures. Some of them even look terrible when you're not zoomed in. Estinian's helmet at the end of HW was embarrassing to look at.
3. More types of orchestrations. I want to be able to play whatever music I want when riding my chocobo, and to not be limited to one style of orchestration player. It doesn't match every type of room. How about a small record player, or some kind of Allagan device. Make the device come in red, and blue variants. Just give us more of them. At least 3-5. Try to make them variate enough to go with different housing styles. Consider making them dyable too. A few wall mounted ones would be nice as well.
4. More companions. No, this is not beast master. I want NPCs that we can adopt, that work similar to the Chocobo. Let me train a bomb, moogle, tonberry, sylph, or coerl. Bring Squadron members into the overworld, and dungeons.
5. This one is a bit of a long shot, and may have problems, but I would love to see an orchestration for yards. Basically as soon as you walked into the gate area, the chosen music might play. It would be cool, but I can see why it would have problems. It might store too much data.
6. Trances for solo play. They would function like mini limit breaks.
7. A separate crafting material inventory tab. We have key items, so why not this?
8. A way to prevent junk from clogging your inventory. I don't want any more imp wings, or bomb ashes. Ew.
9. More voiced cutscenes. I have a feeling that there weren't as many near the end of HW because of Stormbloods development. I could see why they wouldn't want to work on such things, while struggling to meet a deadline. With that said, I would like to see more of them again. Its so much more pleasant to listen, than to read in my opinion. I like that in recent FF games you don't have to, but can understand why every character in an mmo isn't voiced.
10. Hamlets would be really fun. I'd love to actually have to protect a village.
11. I'd like at least six housing wards over the games lifespan. Ishgard could add a unique middle aged style housing, that a lot of classic rpg, and fantasy fans could enjoy. Ala Mhigo could add a different asian flare. I don't know about you, but I get tibet vibes off of them. Especially with monk. Doma could end up very different from Kugane, perhaps with its own flare. Old Sharlayan could give off more classic rpg vibes, and maybe even Irish motives. Maybe they could even get Adventurous, and add Mor Dohna, or Idyllshire. I could imagine fields of those beautiful houses. Mor Dohna would be really cool with all the corrupted energy. I also love its architecture. If you want to go REALLY crazy, turn Dun Scaith into an instanced, or non instanced housing ward. Just get creative, and do it well. Balmung needs more wards than just Kugane. There are also other themes that would go well with housing, to accommodate different tastes.
12. All racial underwear for all races. I could understand not adding the racial specific starting gear however.
13. All au ra horns, for all faces. It really bugs me that the horns I actually wanted, go with a face I don't prefer, and the face that I really want, has horns that drive me crazy with glamours.
14. More Au Ra tails.
15. Muscle sliders for all races.
16. Butt sliders.
17. Masamune for Samurai.
18. Yojimbo themed deep dungeon, similar in style to his appearance in FFX. I think it would fit so well with Othard. It would also be cool if we actually had to fight a primal.
19. New clans for races. I would love to see a Xaela, and Raen mix for example.
20. HALF RACES. Hilda is so beautiful, and I would prefer to have elves more like her. Not that Elezen are bad, I like the fact that they went with some originality, but the classic elf look has a certain appeal. There are also some places in Eorzea that haven't been explored. I think it might be possible to explain them. It's also not like there are a lot of Au Ra roaming in Eorzea, according to lore, so I think it would be okay if we suddenly had half hyur/half elezen.

Anyway, I'm going to stop here, before I write a book. xD

15. Muscle sliders for all races.

Dunno how I would feel about muscular potato's running around everywhere xD

[Bizzy]

I would like to see the following: (I think will make the game feel more realistic)

1) Have 4 seasons (Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring)

2) Bring back the ferry and airships rides that we had from ver 1.0 (Cutscenes are boring)
