Voice acting for the quests that matter / we revisit.

I've learned more about my anima weapon quest on Reddit than I have in game. Seriously.

I understand the restriction on voice acting only portions of the MSQ's, but we could really use some voice acting on the quests that are core to our other experiences in game that we invest so much time in.

The Anima / Relic quest line
The Alexander Story Line
Our Beast-men dailies
Our Weekly Crafting Trade In / GC Troops Weeklies

How expensive would it be for the daily / weekly quests to be voice acted if the NPC says the same damn thing every time anyway?

It would be much more engaging and would assist in players emotionally invested in this game. Hell, maybe even that funny side story being voice acted would have allowed me to remember the name of it...

Please make all weapon stances gender-less and just make it like the standing stance.

Re-posting this here.

In FF11 Mithra race which was basically the same as Miqo'te had a cat noise i don't know why in FF14. they are trying to make animal races more human looking. Bring back cat noises for Miqo'te.

Better HUD. FFXIV's interface is awful. One of the ugliest imo. I could turn off my parameter bar for instance but then i couldn't see my tp numerical value. I could also only use the party HUD, but then i cant put it anywhere except the top of the screen or it leaves a huge empty space where party members 2-8 would have been. I looks awful. Why cant the party member be filled up from bottom to top optionally? A better idea, why cant we have pop up hp/mp/tp on peoples heads as well as buffs above that so i can turn off most of my HUD? There are far to little options. At least allow mod support for interface designing and or a better built in hud editor.

TL;DR: The HUD is awful!

I'd be really glad if they made it so the vulnerability debuff on Trick Attack was always applied on hit and not just from a back attack.

There are often times where you're not going to be able to safely get at an enemy's back (Or simply not be able to reach it at all in the case of some enemies like the Demon Wall), or it simply decides to turn away at the last second when using a random target attack (This is especially problematic in latency).

As far as I'm aware, it's also the only positional ability that only applies its buff/debuff when correctly positioned, which makes it a bit of an oddity.

I'd kinda like an arrow on the focus target mark that shows which direction the target is facing. It's kinda hard to tell where Diabolos/Scathach(sp?) are facing when there's lots of spells and effects going off on them. =/

It happens very often with almost any mob, when certain skills are used by the party. Positionals are all screwed as long as you cannot tell where the mob is facing.

I think in 4.0 we will be getting a bitter HUD.

I can imagine. I was just running Dun Scaith as a monk 'cause I wanted to get some gear for it and I was having a hard time not only 'cause I had to look up to see some of them but because of all the effects blinding me too T_T;
