What do you hope to see in 4.5/5.0 or beyond?

Hmm, I love these threads lol. In no particular order:

• Chocobo digging game - FFXI refrence
• Real chocobo breeding/raising (I felt too disconnected with the gold saucer version)
• Instanced housing (as at least an option, can let people stay in a small cluster if they want - look at Wildstar as reference)
• If we keep going to the magitek areas I'd like to see a Zanarkand like city soon (that we can hang out in, once lore makes sense)
• Sky city, like Jeuno (or sky itself in FFXI lol), Cleyra the giant tree high up (FFIX), Castle in the sky (studio ghibli)
• If we keep seeing so many roads I might not hate the idea of Noctis car as a four person mount, but there is going to have to be some no 180 animation built it cause that'd be.. awful lol
• I'm assuming they'll add Viera but a Ronso like race would be great, perhaps a very bestial version of Viera as the other clan
• More glamour options for summoner, so that most if not all spells become very primal themed (saw an idea to phoenix theme summoner's ressurection spell for example)
• FFIX moogle buddy, they can build in the concept with their mobile app they have (but I'd like to see many features in game, like taking from stash, npc selling, etc)
• Chocobo Paradise
• Mognet
• Glamour, armoire, and achievement system becoming more unified when it comes to item storage and where to find/use them.
• Multi-dye armor (like Guild Wars 2)
• Work on making account bound things, like cash shop (like WoW has for achievements and all purchases)
• Outside of golden saucer (like you can stand on the outside of it)
• Flammie as a mount still lol (secret of mana)
• More FC housing build options, I remember them talking about build towers that offered exp bonuses way back when.. Would be nice to build relationships (like you do with the grand company) with beastmen and have a sort of Guild Wars 2 zone that your company owns and builds up as a long term group project.
• Higher resolution textures to reduce the most obvious pixels (doesn't have to be 4k)
• Higher poly models, mostly on characters, to give people toes and body shape lol

Oh man YES!! THIS SO MUCH THIS! Grand idea!
Also Im a derp and thank you for reminding me of[/list ] lol!

Remove glamor restrictions altogether.
This has been something the playerbase has been asking for a very, very long time. While glamoring has gotten a tad bit less restrictive due to SE just recoloring and creating gear from other jobs for most jobs to use but even still, there are a ton of armors and clothing in the game that is locked behind job requirements and Yoshi's argument is that players wouldn't know who the tank or healer is if they didn't look the part....But we sure can glamour a bikini over heavy armor though....

Just make housing instanced.
Like Aion, PSO2 or Wildstar. That way everyone can have a house and not have to do crazy things to get one. Once again, SE has some wierd argument saying that they would like housing to be this "communty" like system where you could walk outside and see your neighbors. As we all know, most of the housing area is SUPER dead. I hardly see 1-2 people when I'm wondering around. It might as well just be instanced. People can still visit your home, you could still invite as many people as you wanted. Everyone is happy.

And yeah the housing thing! Ive been thinking that since it first came out that it should have just been instanced like Moghouses/gardens in XI.

And if they removed the glamour restrictions I could finally make my WHM and BRD the way I want them!!

I know WoW (archaeology) made something that might feel similar but imo FFXIV is already better, in WoW you'd have to get off your mount and that's not so here. So the process, even if they kept it similar, is already a lot more fluid and thus more repeatable :3. Besides Chocobos are better lol.

Not that I'm suggesting it has to be a specific type of mini-game, just that fairly certain FFXIVs can be better than FFIXs and feel more certain that if it's similar to WoW's it'll be better even (and it's not a copy from because FFIX is older than WoW haha).

When I got to that part of the game my game got so side tracked lol, I mastered all the colors I could whenever I could and went straight to chocobo heaven :3.

Chocobo digging would be even cooler if it was done kind of like Treasure maps are now! Like If your Choboco found a spot and collected a treasure it could have the potential of spawning a warp hole to a solo mini dungeon (Chocobo Forest maybe?) similar to how Uznair works, but where you and your boco team up and fight through to collect an even better treasure!

Seriously! You should start a request thread for that! I love threads like these. They spark so many imaginative ideas.

Some really good ideas here. I really "dig" the Chocobo digging game from FFIX and I think it would ecourage more exploration in the world which has been a big request recently. It'd be cool if we could discover Chocobo Forests scattered around Eorzea where we'd have to play the digging mini-game to find the ancient treasure maps. After finding the maps, we'd have to explore the world to actually find the rare treasures. Sounds like a good time-waster as long as the rewards were worth-while.

I love the idea of that being how you get the map to find the treasure and potentially the forest. Makes the idea I just posted even more rounded out! PLEASE SE do this!! <3

Would be neat to add a scavenger hunt aspect too. I personally would like an anima (from FFX) fight.
