The future

For SE to actually kill off characters and not bait us out. Thancred shouldve died a long time ago, Yshtola shouldve been dead since HW.
This one is my personal opinion but i want more evil choices. Like if someone asks for my help let me say no im busy. Matter of fact let me join garlmald please. They actually have cool armor pieces that shouldve been in the game since arr.

This. I would like for there to be actual stakes and consequences.

Would also be nice if the player could participate in some morally dubious stuff, though I have no hope of SE doing that.

I wouldn't mind it if they didn't bait the deaths so much then don't commit.

You...consider it an "evil" choise to not help some random asking for help? Wow, the bar couldn't possibly be lower than that.

If we'd go with the "evil" choices, I'd rather that my character has their own ambitions and end goal that may or may not cause some extreme collateral damage, all for their benefit, instead of just the usual a-hole hero who saves the world, just like the average hero. The average hero was only less of an a-hole about it.

What's the point of being "evil" if the worst you can do is kill some random nobody in the middle of nowhere for a little extra cash? Boring.

Now, obviously this kind of thing will never happen in a game with choices (FFXIV is not a game with choices), since they'd rather focus on the option that most choose, which is to say, the average hero. Best you can get is to (re)play Overlord 2.

Well, not all of it.
Basically, everything before Meteion made her report was awesome, probably the best SE has ever done.
The final 15% or so dealing with what REALLY caused the Final Days felt rushed, full of plot holes and bizarre decisions.

Meteion spoiler:

Bringing in bird lady ruined it for me because it told me the whole rest of the story right there. It's the classic bring in new character that stands out big time and is actually the big bad that caused everything, along with the footsoldier that nobody not even the big bad, gives a crap about.

They could've made it a little more suspenseful or added a red herring.
