What would you do if you had control over FFXIV?

[HeyMcFly]

I would update the housing system, expand on the items for housing- increase interior item limits, design entire housing themes- like a housing pack (similar to BDO & ESO EX: player could have a forest hut with matching items)
Along with that, I'd update the placement of items to make them easier & more accessible.

I'd update the character creator- I'd also look at other MMO's & games with character creators & old Final Fantasy games as well as other SE titles-- I'd update the old races to be more on par with male & female Viera as far as beauty options go, change the elezens horrid run animation- add new faces/ hairstyles & features like more make-up options & more face-paint slots so more than one paint can be worn at once
Give Au Ra players more horn choices that they can swap between faces so their face isn't locked to horn type (something that has been requested since Au Ra's release)
I'd update all faces & give them better textures, more markings that aren't face locked for Miqo'te & fangs for both clans (for more personalization)
Enhance eye colours & hair colours, add a more dye colours
I'd add long hair & beards

I'd also rework some of the animations to the battle jobs. I'd want to make the weapon stance animations more realistic & less awkward.
-Black mage stance would be more upright, rather than them squatting halfway towards the ground
-Machinist no longer would do flips & spins when they shoot- it makes ZERO sense as to why they do & I hate the class because of it
-Bard/ Archer would have more impactful animations- like someone actually shooting a bow & arrow.
-Ninja run animation would be toggled between rogue or Ninja for people who hate Ninja run
-Paladin battle stance would be more realistic, with sword & shield closer to them & their legs less spread
-Warrior stance would be changed so they're not animated awkwardly with legs spread, heaving with their axe like they're lifting weights.
-Dark Knight would not place their sword into the ground or hold it over their shoulder. (goodbye shoulder)

One thing I'd add 1st before all is Sheathes for weapons.
I absolutely hate how the swords, guns & daggers are exposed.
