Please Make this the Best MMO

Please avoid punishing players for playing lower level content

• As it stands playing a lvl 20ish dungeon as max level, for example, is punishing, highly unrewarding, because the abilities are removed. There has to be a better way to handle this that doesn't involve punishing the max level player.

It doesn't punish the high level character- the roulette is specifically meant to retain the challenge of that content if you were at that level with gear that you could have obtained during that xpac- it'll still be easier than it was at launch due to both nerfs and of course the fact that you're basically in the highest level gear at that level... but it's as close as they can get. That's the point of the roulettes and syncing down, to not give people advantages. You also get aptly rewarded for it.

If you want to do a level 20 dungeon at max level with your abilities, you can still do it unsynced- so the very thing you're asking for is already in the game. It's the best of both worlds since it gives players that want content that's always relevant and somewhat of a comparable challenge still have that, and players like you who don't want to be punished for being high level and lose all your abilities and power can also still do unsynced.

Indeed. In a scenario with all abilities with sync down , If a warrior tank at 80 synced down to 15-50 dungeons could run rampant pulling everything and self healing with NF and and 80 WHM could assize, holy everything along with the tank, leaving say the two lowbies in dps doing nothing and being left behind.

It would change the way new player experience the game. All dungeons for MSQ would be zerg fests as 60+ doing roulette's would all just go for it aoeing , self healing , insta this , insta that , all defenses up etc.

Then you would get scenarios where a fresh tank player is left stood around confused as the high lvl healer , and dps who are there to do their dailies would go do the dungeon in a rush , or worse we would see rises in new players, at level for the content , being kicked because they will slow these impatient high lvls down.

Please fix the unresponsive movement

• Now I play FFXIV ARR on both a powerful PC with an incredibly good internet connection and the PS5 Pro,

I didn't knew that Sony already released a PS5 Pro?

For this to be the best MMO it needs several things.

A Spanish/Russian/Portuguese localizations and more Datacenters to be a truly global game, for starters.

It already is the best mmorpg, but that's probably because it's competitors aren't that good currently. I'd definitely like to see more general improvements to the game, and less focus on 'casual' content.

I personally find it a shame that I used to not even remember where zones connect after teleporting for so long, so I stopped doing that and bow I walk way more (while completing hunts and achievements I'd never found otherwise. Stuff like that.

It's a pity if you have this giant virtual world and you reduce it to teleportation roads. Why even have a 'world' then? But that's just me. ^^

Because anima was a hypertrash limitation on teleports and walking everywhere when you just wanted to deliver a letter to and from an npc sounded better on paper than it did in practice.

Not only are cheap teleports a vast improvement, black screens to transition between zones are a godsend.

Being a FF7 fan I had to buy the bike mount. It looks great! And to my amazement it flies. What in the world were the devs thinking, why can this bike fly? At the very least give it some wings or something. I mean come on... it's as if FFXIV ARR is trying very hard to break my immersion constantly.

Umm, because the bike didn't fly in FF7. They always honor/respect all the lore of things that come before. When you want to fly, you do like they did in FF7, use another form of transportation like a chocobo or an airship. If you want world immersion and to have something for FF7 memories, then go ahead and immerse yourself in it...
