This game can seriously do with more FC activities.

We don't need more FC activities, by their definition, FC activities are just regular activities with gating. What we need is more FC tools. In-game calenders, event management, better recruitment tools and ways to interact with members. I like the idea of achievements and challenge lots because it supports the idea of FC members doing existing content together, which is the area that needs improvement over linkshells.

This stuff already exists in the companion app, it just needs to be in the FC window

In-game calendar/event planner, yes please. Would be very useful.

I want a pegasus mount but not possible because of this.

Got this casually for a friend not too long ago. Lack of people in diadem can be an advantage. There are several buried coffers hidden around the map when a new instance is started (marked by a spot of light which looks similar to a gathering node). Just do a voyage around the map collecting them, then open the lockboxes to receive some spoils. Repeat until you can afford the mount. Convert any gear into more spoils. Just need a minimum of 2 players to enter Diadem via workshop.

Agree with all of this. In-game event calender should have been added years ago.

Achievements and challenges to unlock would be great too, maybe even a few nice rewards for the harder achievements or FC achievement point totals.

The company chest badly needs expanding. At the very least 5-7 tabs.

I'd also like to see them work on a flexible 8 man difficulty. Perhaps 7-14 players. This is a big one for FC's, because it's much harder to organize events and raid nights when you either have to bench someone or bring pugs in. Therefore people just go in set statics or full pug groups instead. Another difficulty inbetween Normal and Savage wouldn't be a bad idea either. Currently for a casual FC, Savage is way above their level and Normal is way too easy to bother making an event out of it.

There's a discord server that does Diadem like every weekend. Look up Diadem Debauchery if you're interested.

A recruitment board where people can post their fc's info and others can check them out would honestly be super nice. I dont understand why this isn't even a thing already on the game.

XI had a basic version of this which was kind of nice. The NPC was the "Linkshell Concierge" where players could go to check out recruiting LSs (XI's equivalent of a FC) and grab a pearl directly. IIRC, the information provided about the LS was pretty basic, but that could totally be expanded upon for XIV.

I think that could be quite helpful as I think a lot of people just don't know where to turn to when looking for an FC that is recruiting. I mean, you get the city shouters now and then, but even they aren't all that common.

Isn't it it funny how xi can does or did so many neat things with it's old archaic dinosaur coding. Quite a lot of which was done 10 or 15 years ago even with lol ps2 limitations. And yet xiv. 15 years more modern with 15 years more technological advancement Can't do any of it...

I think there's something to be said for it being up to the players but I'd enjoy activities designed specifically for light to full FC parties, because that's what I do when I'm not solo. It's what's worthwhile to me even though it's not regarded as any sort of accomplishment, game wise, which is why I mostly agree that any group will be what people make of it. Still, this game gives the feeling that it's the "wrong" way to play and the "right" way is with a new group of people that you'll probably never meet again. It could be more balanced, with a reward system to encourage both.

Oy, I could give a nice rant about that. >< I'm not asking for XIV to become XI, but they did have several systems/features in place that are definitely better than what we get in XIV (if we even have it at all).
