My suggestions to improve FFXIV

[MelnaMilos]

I don't feel they'd add anymore to the game for me. As it is now it takes a fair amount of time even with flying if I need to get from one side of the map to the other. Progression on the maps during initial exploration takes a significant chunk of the time since you are not only limited by ground mount speed but map geometry. ... I don't feel like the maps are "tiny" like you do . They feel appropriate and since I don't know what we would have to sacrifice to make them expansive (every change will have a price, the technology is not unlimited) I do not have a need for unnecessary additions.

I will raise a counter question: Why should the current playerbase compromise at all if they enjoy the game the way it is? Why spend developer resources (quite a limited commodity it seems) on content we will never play and features we don't want?

Zones can be bigger and there can be more teleport points, for those that dont care to explore or adventure.

Because there are people, like me, who do enjoy those things. When more people play the game, theres more money. More money to add more content. Why does it matter to you if its added into the game if you dont care about it at all? Im shocked that some of you think your game is perfect.

I like the idea of the mobs being unique and more dangerous ai. all of them kinda feel the same. Auto attack for a few seconds then do an aoe attack then return to Auto attacking. I've always liked those big dragon things when i first encountered them, you know the ones that act a bit random on who they attack and you have to read their body language to avoid the attacks?

Me too! I feel the exact same.

They won't do a graphical overhaul if it is going to gate other players who play on other platforms. It's not all about the PC players, you have console players to consider. I am sure when a PS5 edition comes out they might consider doing a graphical overhaul, but they aren't going to abandon people who play on PS4/PS4 Pro which DO make up a significant portion of the player base.

This game isn't just for the PC elitists.

Thats true. However, the consoles are getting pretty dang powerful these days. I mean, they figured it out back in the day with XI on the xbox and PS2. Im not a technical person in anyway, so correct me if I am wrong, but if it was possible on the older platforms and PCs, why is it such a problem now?
