First-Annual "Why is This STILL Not a Thing"

[PharisHanasaki]

I'm sorry if this has been posted. I quckly skimmed over the posts ( I saw some really nice suggestions so far), but please remove job restriction on gear, I like to be able to glam some on other roles as well.

I think they may have done it to prevent dragoons from equiping healer gear, but it's a shame there aren't many or any All classes/Disciple of War/ Disciple of the Land/Hand gears anymore, making it impossible to equip on other jobs.

Creating an alt on a congested realm. The addition of an alt will do nothing to affect the concurrent population numbers, so why disallow it?

Gotta agree with the audio stuff- it's absolutely silly that I can't switch my output in-game. It's gotten to the point where I use two headsets when I join groups- one plugged into my speakers, and one around my neck so I can use the mic. There has to be a better way. Also, on the topic of audio, I'd like finer controls- sometimes I just want to keep hearing the ambient map music but I have to fight stuff for daily hunts and quests. Can there be an option to disable certain types of music (FATEs and over-world combat in particular)?

Also... more glamour gear for men please? Females are unfairly given a lot of gender-locked costumes when we are not. Either even it up or remove the restrictions.

I agree that any gear of equal/lower level to you should be glam-able, if anyone is confused by what class you are all they have to do is examine you or look at your weapon.

I guess they figure the combat gear is primarily masculine looking so they have to make up for it by giving females more clothing options. It would also be neat if on the Veteran's Rewards gear Advent Attire and Leonhart Attire that guys would get Cloud/Squall's set and the female would get Tifa/Rinoa's set

More games in the Gold Saucer. For being such a big area there is very little to do that aren't events

Daily/weekly gil withdraw limits from the Company Chest based on your Free Company settings. I'd be nice if we could help pay for teleports/repairs of our members who are new or in need of help.

Should - Logging out via player owned beds to earn the Rested EXP. bonus

You earn rested exp while in any sanctuary, online or offline, so logging out via player owned beds is just to log out via player owned beds. It would still be nice, ofc.

Yeah, I read about that after I made that post. If anything it would make having a room actually worth it.

The funny thing is, that this was how the rested XP was implemented back in 1.x, with the introduction of Inn Rooms. It started off with building up Rested XP when you would have your character log out, by going back to the Inn room and sleeping in the bed. When you logged out of the game by sleeping in the bed, you would get a little animation of your character crawling onto the bed and falling asleep. When you would log back in again, you’d get a little animation of you getting out of bed with big smile on your face. (For instance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJCYingQty4)

During the development of 1.0, they expanded on that idea by giving you “nightmares” related to the story (for instance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07Tom0m6vSU). Next to that, they also added the chance of getting items if you checked underneath the bed when you logged back in. This is where the famous expression “Heck the bed” came from.

However, players mentioned on the forums that it was quite the hassle to go back to the Inn room and log out, just to build up Rested XP. Due to this, they enabled the means to generate Rested XP by standing in the major cities. This got expanded on in 2.x, where you would get Rested XP in camps as well.

This was all before the Housing system was introduced.
