Things wanted for next expansion?

[Jandor]

Provided they actually balance the current tanks first of course

DPS job balance is much worse than tank (or healer) balance. How about no more DPS until that's sorted...

[Soge01]

Make the open world actually feeling dangerous with thing a to discover. Can I please have a world log where if I go to a certain place I can read about it's more, please?

Make more enemies other than bosses have the ability to cast debuffs and other status ailments. And don't make them cast them in a predictable manner where I can literally turn my brain off and still stun them with just muscle memory alone.

Events with a variety of unlockable rewards other than furniture. Hairstyles, face paint, glamour gear, unique dyes, minions, etc. I can't stand just getting furniture for events only. I like them still, but they just feel a bit lack luster and hollow since it'd be the only things we get...

Actual new playable events in Gold Saucer.

Underwater treasure hunting.

How bout a ship (sea) that would serve as housing, and travel/exploration. Help solve housing shortages. Would be cool for some adventures.

I can't understand why so many people want a new tank or healer when they can barely handle the 3 they have.
It was so bad they didn't make any just to focus on balance, and they STILL couldn't get it right.

Not to mention how lacking in identity they are. AST is a WHM with cards and no Cure III while DRK is a weird cross between WAR and PLD but doesn't excel in any way. I'm just going to be mad if a new healer comes in and it's a WHM but with some other gimmick again.

What you don't understand is gameplay style and how it appeals on people.
I didn't like WAR and PLD very much but I'm playing DRK simply because I like it better than the rest.
AST also feels better than WHM and SCH for me.
You should be mad on adding more DPS when we have already that many.
I mean what else can they add except another DRG like SAM with something pointy and sharp or another BRD who can't sing and ends up being just boring like MCH?
The answer is style. They will keep adding jobs and this time Tanks and Helaers should have their additions.

They can't handle the 9 DPS they have either, yet I don't see the "no tank/healer pls!" saying they don't want new DPS before they are balanced.

I'm sorry, but that was an excuse. If they really focused on balance then they absolutely suck. For someone that can make the new jobs and play them for months in advance before release, they didn't notice basic balance issues that players found within days of them being released. They probably just decided to rework some classes and tested whether they worked, ignoring the balance tests whatsoever.

We're asking about NEW tanks and healers. It is Square Enix's fault for the current ones to lack any real identity in their gameplay. That's because instead of thinking of new ways, they copy half the skills then fill in the blanks. As a result they are much more similar to each other than DPS into which they put more thought and effort.


That being said, players want a new tank and healer because three of each is just not a lot. Especially when they are largely so similar in skills possesses. Even if only half of them will be "new", it's still a breath of fresh air for the tanks and healers. And there is ZERO reason not to do that, especially when they don't seem to mind filling in the DPS roster despite its severe balance issues.

Would love to see a new gunslinger job, one that uses 2 handguns just like Dante uses. 4 or 5 new skills for every job. Dark knight complete rework overall. Also a huge improvement on character creation with tons of new options, meaning new hairstyles, new faces, new body type and maybe new races for people to choose. Also way more end game content.

[NorthernLadMSP]

Regarding races. I know a lot of people are clamoring for Viera, and while I wouldn't mind them, I would 100% prefer doubling the amount of customization options for the races we already have. More faces, eyes, eyebrows, noses, facial features, etc.

I would also love to be able to play as a half Elezen half Hyur like Hilda.

To add to this: More bodytypes. Having to base ones bodytype off of race alone doesn't sit well with me. I feel we should have at least 2 bodytypes per race. :/

[Anyan]

Going to repeat what others have said about character creation. They need to rework it from scratch. The one we have now is so far behind other MMORPGs. It's kinda embarrassing. If they can't make it as intricate as BnS or BDO, at least make it like GW2.

Please, please, please give me new NPCs to travel with!!! I want everyone from ARR, HW, and SB that we have already traveled with to retire from coming with us (I could totally have Estinien at my side again though. He's an exception). Everyooone! I'm so sick and tired of them!
(edit: I don't necessarily hate all of them. I love Y'shtola for example.)

Speaking of old things that has to go, for the love of the Gods give us new music for the cutscenes! Not just some new, all of them!
Add some new music to the main cities too. Don't need to remove the old ones there, but add new. Let us toggle off battle and FATE music!

And for goodness sake improve the cutscenes overall. I'm not talking about the fancy cinematic ones, but those with silent dialogue were we stand there like imbeciles and just nod.

And a random little rant (SPOILER ALERT!) that has to do with the lack of choice that was addressed in the youtube video that OP included. I got a choice to accept or not accept Zenos. I ACCEPTED HIM!!! I wanted to go with him! I did not want to hurt him or kill him! I understand if you can't actually make that happen because of story progression but please change dialogue and facial expressions for what happens after. We could have reached out to him and actually mourned him. And when we met Asahi, instead of him hating us, he could have whispered nice things to us in confidence because he knew we tried.
Instead of being all sad for that f-ing sister of his who I despised, I could have sat at HIS side instead of hers! Better yet... how about NOT killing the first freaking, what I at least interpreted as, gay character!
Phew... sorry about that. Really needed to get that off my chest.
