You are given a job... [Serious discussion]

[Recon1o6]

I would add more and enhanced character options. Taller au ra females, muscle definition etc

lore recorder in the collection. Bestiary, field notes like bozja, artifacts...

pillarless interior option for housing

a marketboard to mor dhona and the ability to carry more than one zodiac book at a time for a weapon

difficult 4 man dungeons. To balance the healer responsibility, dps will be given a phoenix down each and the tanks limited aguem vitae as duty actions. No more than 2 raises per player.

Solo trials/extremes/savages/ultimates to get gear, they are designed to test your skill with a job and in return you get bis and exclusive all class glams. A new bard mode based upon the WOL/WOD's trials during the story where they had no back up.
idk I kind of picture it as normal being telling it to the idyllshire kids, extreme being how it actually went, savage is what everyone makes out what you did and ultimate is the wandering minstrel's fault.

I'd add a garlean gauntlet raid whose tactics change depending on how the party fights. Think the 5 judges battle from FF12 remaster.

I'd add a vendor that freely distributes current savage gear, changing its stock whenever current savage gear changes, just to see what happens.

I'd bring 1.0 butts back.

like a gil vendor? Would that not shatter the game? oO

I will give the possibility to play any jobs iterations from previous expansions in all contents expected savage raids and ultimate fights from actual expansion.

You would like to play your Ninja (Realm Reborn), Dark Knight (Heavensward) or Astrologian (Stormblood) in Shadowbringers ?
Yes, you could !!!

My completely serious prediction: Several weeks of players burning down the forums accompanied by threats to rage unsub, as well as a handful of people who actually do unsub. The next tier comes out and most people find it really doesn't matter much (assuming SE actually adjusts the difficulty to account for the fact that everyone has full 500 gear to start). Over time it does hurt participation rates for savage and player retention a bit, but the majority of the people who already do savage continue to do savage and the long term impact on the game is fairly minor, although perhaps not utterly negligible. Eventually some of the people who rage quit over this may come back too and find out it's not as bad as they thought.

Oh, there would also be sub loss among more casual players who can now go to a vendor to instantly get a full set of more or less BiS gear instead of spending a few weeks grinding for it, but as long as you give them other content to do repeatedly, they'd be fine. A lot of them would be fine even if you didn't give them other content to do.

Those several weeks will be hilarious though.

I really like the *idea* of Mahjong, but I simply can't figure out the rules from what's provided in game. And don't care enough to do outside research; or to try to memorize the list of 20-or-so non-English terms for the moves. And most of NA seems to be in the same boat.

I'd love to add a simple 4-player game along those lines; maybe Poker or Blackjack.

Or if that's going to run up against anti-gambling laws or be deemed too similar to Triple Triad - maybe a more complex 2-person game like Chess or Go.

While most people instantly think "change something about the game." No. A lot of us have our own grievances, as does every one.

But if you were approached, not to change, but to add. A permanent fixture in the game, a snippet of story or dialogue, a building or land mark, an NPC or action. A raid or dungeon - hell even a housing district.

It could be as grand as new alliance raid or as simple as a piece of dialogue spewn about by a random npc.

What ever it is you want to add, but you CANNOT change anything. Not even to make it better (or arguably worse)

Imagine if square gave you access to all that there is and said "Go forth and add something" with no limitations, other then "It cannot be an expansion."

What would you create? How do you think the community would react to your creation? And most of all: Why did you create it?

I would create a way where you could reset a job. For example, maybe you were leveling a black mage and got it to level 25 and took two years off from it (hi crafting classes). I would reset the job, yes I would have to relevel, the down side but I could then relearn the mechanics - I learn by doing, not by watching.

This would not fundamentally change jobs. It would strip you of all stats and levels for for that job, right back to level one and maybe teleport you to, or tell you to go, your (base) jobs "teacher".

I think the community would have mixed feelings on this. Why do this when you can watch YouTube. I find the tutorials for a new class, what ever it is, more helpful then random bob on the internet who wants to talk high level rotations.

As for why? Already said it, twice.

You're turn. Please do try and keep it serious.

No: "Male this race", or "Permanent that job" or "Change housing" Try and be artistic. Put some thought into it.

I would add higher quality apartments with windows with landscapes like the Kugane inn and more space. Specifically the higher quality apartments would have a different layout to the houses to distinguish them. Just a simple window or balcony showing the housing district would go a long way in making them feel less instanced and more part of the world.

Hmmm... Most of the ideas that I have are simply improvements of what we currently have, like the Glam system, etc... but if I would add something completely new it would be a "Performance" version for Dancers.

Yes, we already have a ton of /dance emotes, but this would actually be a system of "live" dance, where you push certain buttons to create flow in between a set of movements. We could have, instead of bard instruments, dance styles, like ballet, or tap dancing, or flamenco... obviously with custom names, since most are drawn from real world cultures.

[SavishSalacious]

Amazing ideas. I really like how some of you if not most of you got really creative in things you would add
