Master List of Player Requested Changes V3.0

[Jennestia]

Environments / The World At large – Making the world feel more alive
1.) More interactive Objects – for example Let me sit in more chairs near tables (Adventurers guild) and various spots around the world
2.) Allow us to have different idle stances in passive mode, like NPCs
3.) Maybe a comment in /check like Bazaar comments (was always nice)
4.) Have the NPC's move around a bit
5.) Voice out as much Dialog as possible
6.) Occasional Mob to Mob interaction
Would be so cool seeing two wolves in the distance fighting or an occasional larger mob eating a smaller mob. Makes you feel like you ARE in the wild. Makes it more real.

Add: Lots of open world content, otherwise the world will feel dead even with these changes because everyone will be in an instance somewhere and making a world feel more alive is by actually being a part of it and not in some random cluster that no one else can visit but your party.

Mob > Mob interaction I recall was from FFXII and XIII which they said they always wanted to do with FFXI, so this is something I definitely expected to see in FFXIV.

I agree with most of your points (especially /sea commands, I think that these need more adressing), some I feel to be nitpicking and less important, as the team has already a lot of content to finnish. Here are a few that I don't care for though.
1) Don't allow people sit on you when you’re sitting down somewhere
What's wrong with this?

2) Allow us to see the last time someone logged in
I am for giving linkshell leaders administrative powers, but there should be some a certain freedom when it comes to privacy. I shouldn't feel like the ls leader is having me under surveillance 24/7.

3 Click to Move & Double Mouse Hold to move
I am not too fond of this, using the numb pad is actually one of the things that makes the game feel different in a good way.

4 Don't take up inventory space for items I have equipped
I think Yoshida already said that there is going to be a mannequin system, where each class or job has a "mannequin" of some sort. Further he said that when you equip gear on the mannequin it wouldn't take up inventory space, and that when you change class or job you automatically equip the gear that's on the mannequin.

5 Allow us to view all the in-game achievements we've earned in game
In 2.0 you have your own achievement section in the menus.


Also, /shutdown and /logout should be added commands.

Add: Lots of open world content, otherwise the world will feel dead even with these changes because everyone will be in an instance somewhere and making a world feel more alive is by actually being a part of it and not in some random cluster that no one else can visit but your party.

Mob > Mob interaction I recall was from FFXII and XIII which they said they always wanted to do with FFXI, so this is something I definitely expected to see in FFXIV.

I think this needs to be highlighted as a concern with priority. I am for private housing areas for giving you a sense of home and space to breathe, and I am also for some private instanced raiding. But in general I think that the game needs to be a lot more open, only a few things should be instanced.

This is brutally true. The world feel dead and will still feel dead in 2.0 if its not addressed.
