What features would you like to see someday?

[KinzokuRyu]

I know that there is basically no way anything we post here would ever end up ingame but, I am sure I'm not the only one that has come up with millions of ideas for content you would like in game, weather it's an original idea or one you borrow from another game. I wanted to share some of those and see what others have come up with too! Please share =)

- One idea I had was, we have this item called a Soul Crystal equipped... No stats, nothing special really... Paired with a weapon it affects what class you are and that's it. What if you had a way at lv80 to upgrade to a Superior Soul Crystal. Maybe have multiple options each giving equally beneficial but different stats, as well as a unique skill linked to each one. Maybe a unique skill that uses one LB Bar... idk. I think a little variety could spice it up make things fun.


- I also thought about my days back in FFXI and what I miss the most from that game... What I'd love to see in FFXIV! Back in 11 you could use weapon skills one after another to create skill chains that a mage could then magic burst off of. I loved this feature so much! If they could somehow bring it to 14 I'd be happy! I thought of the idea similar to Limit Break... What if we had a Skill Break! It could require and only use 1 bar off the LB bar. If you have a couple dps use them within a few seconds of each other it could Skillchain, allowing for a short Magic Burst Window for Magic or skills in general to do extra damage.. whatever! Ideas!


- I'd love Red Mage explored differently... By having some your red magic spells changed according to what element was higher! If you had a larger white magic balance the spell could be beneficial and if your black magic balance is higher it could be a detrimental spell.


- I'd love to see a dedicated zone for Open world pvp! Have it be Data center vs Data center vs Data center? Or make it it's own thing blue vs red... However they do it idk. Have a points system that tallies up and gives like server wide or pvp zone wide buffs or something that's small and not game breaking.... Could have Crafter/gather joining in make them the only class that can use chocobo and wagon to do supply runs with party members (who would protect them) to build up your weekly points idk! Lol


- I'd love to see the Post Game damage reports from PVP added to the end of Dungeons and Trials! Even if it's a personal log that you access from your menu after your duty just to evaluate how well you are doing and help you come up with a plan to improve your performance. I don't need to see how others did imo.


- I'd like if they where to add Competitive Dungeons! Maybe have a dungeon where you que up with 8 people and in dungeon it's 4 vs 4. Have similar paths with equally difficulties maybe even make the other team visible. Put check points in for teams to earn a special buff or debuff for use on the other party stratigicly.

- would love if we had a instances FC housing zone.. make it have a FC requirement of Rank 12 and min 40 active players within the last week to qualify for your own FC zone. with a huge FC hall everyone could decorate or just FC leaders. Have everyone able to buy a housing plot within the FC zone (within limit). Make them without a yard and instead make a huge community playground we can decorate together and a large community garden for FC use etc.

I could go on with more... Maybe I'll edit later lol, but I wanna see what others have thought up! =)

[BroFists]

i would like to see the option to only group with male characters. i don't want to see lightning hair catgirls in my party

[linay]

I think being able to invite the people you just finished a dungeon with to queue together for another dungeon/roulette would be neat, bonus point if able to switch job before the next queue.

[LolitaBansheeMeru]

Just customization in jobs how it plays what abilitys we focus on and add boost to it like ffxi's merits system also Would really like some other weapon choices jobs are kind of booring being forced to use 1 weapon type. It was a extremely stupid idea to lock jobs on the weapon. On that note I want sub jobs back so we Could for example use summoner crystal on thaumage. Oh and really let us pick our role so many jobs could do the role if the game let it lol. Oh and one final thing add in other crystals like on rogue/ninja needs a crystal for pure theif (because honestly ninja is lame and for weeboos) and archer/bard needs a crystal for pure archery

- Smartcasting, both on the ground and on characters (models and party list both).

- Mythic+ style dungeons and/or savage-difficulty dungeons.

- Increased interplay between abilities in healer kits, particularly DPS abilities.

- Viera hats.

- More legible party frames that make it easier to see health at a glance, like thicker health bars that can change color at different percentages. Alliance-style minimal frames are already very close except for the crippling lack of debuffs displayed.

- Option to display and attach buffs and debuffs to all enemy nameplates, including ones that aren't actively targeted.

- Enemy nameplates that automatically stack and separate when they would instead overlap. This would bring much greater clarity to crowded fights.

More character customization that IS NOT tied to the Mog Station. More faces, more hairs, more eyes, lips, mouths, ect for all races. There are only so many ways to build a character right now. I'm not expecting something like BDO, but more customization so everyone doesn't look so similar would be nice.

[Cyreil]

A Bestiary.

Something that can record lore on the creatures we face. Similar to how the Triple Triad cards work. I think it could be a rework of the hunting log. A way to have more options to level and not be locked behind individual classes and jobs like the hunting log is.

[TheMightyMollusk]

Viera and Hrothgar completed (hair, headgear, missing genders, fix Hrothgar's issues with the aesthetician). Customization in general could use an overhaul, but those two are the big glaring issue right now.

Make job stones mandatory before the first fight with Titan and required for duty finder for anything over that level (34-35).

More glamour plates and space in the dresser.

Tying hair styles to glamour plates, so that changing plates will change hair.

An option to silence combat yelling from players. Looking at you, female Miqo'te voice 5.

I just mostly have some UI improvements:

• Let us mute the error sounds individually without muting all system sounds.
• Let us change in the UI where the centered blue text appears. It usually obscures other dialogs that center themselves and makes things hard to read (e.g. during collectible gathering most of the dialog is obscured)
• Let us reduce the nametag font size (i know you can increase it, but you can't shrink it)
• Give us a few more macro actions, for example, teleporting to a specific aetheryte
• Company chest needs some love: give us a 'deposit to Company Chest' dropdown option on items and a 'remove all from Company Chest' option.
• An option in settings to ignore FATEs that we'd have to sync to - meaning no music and no error messages / notices.
• This might be controversial, but blacklisting should completely hide the offending PC. When I'm out gathering, I always see the same gathering bots and I'd like to just forget they exist.
• This might be fairly minor, but the option to automatically use an aetheryte ticket if the cost of the teleport exceeds a user-defined amount (e.g. 500 gil)
• Give us the ability to enter some text as a personal note for people on our friends list. I keep a notebook to remember the people I meet and befriend but something in-game would be great.
• Let us overmeld by talking to Mutamix and giving him multiple copies of the same Materia and the gear. For example, for an overmeld with a 17% chance, a stack of 6 of the materia and it's a 100% chance for the overmeld to take.

I mostly just want to see the character customisation options expanded. By that I mean more facial hair options for male characters, more scars/tattoos for everybody and a fix to issues such as the lack of eyebrows on male highlanders.
