you want changes? make a loud coordinated racket nicely i might add

[pikalovr]

you want hrothgar and vieras to be treated like a normal race?
you want housing to be better?
you want kaiten back or something else combat related?
are you tired of the glam system/want it to be better?
basically do you want the game to get better or changed?

BE NICE WHEN YOU DO THIS BTW WE DON'T NEED TO GET UGLY TO DO THIS AND IT ONLY HURTS OUR IMAGE

then you all need to come together and stop fighting amongst yourselves for no god damn reason, and make a coordinated loud effort let the devs and i can't stress this enough SE know that the community deserves to be heard from all points of the world, all skill levels (except the people who don't want to put bare minimum effort in cause ik somebody will bring that up), fashion fantasy players, RPers, etc... let them know we won't sit idly by while something thats angered almost every community (if you managed to piss off the JP players you did something very wrong) (JP EU NA etc..) like the kaiten removal (for good reason i might add). we want better communication between the dev team and the players, we shouldn't recieve radio silence after the massive outrage of kaiten removal, and immediately recieve an apology for overbuffing BLM in PvP when it happens that makes no god damn sense. and it would be nice and help them take a load off if they did poll players or something like that or only select groups that could represent certain parts of the game/communities

we need to come together and start a movement, get content creators in on it get a # started anything and everything. anyone who's willing to lend a hand would be appreciated. if we as a community want the game to be better and see changes made we as the community need to come together at least for this.

ik we're only a small group of people but that doesn't mean we can't expand try to get people from other nationalities to support us. this should be a worldwide movement since there's players all over the world who enjoy the game.

(i doubt anyone is willing to back this up or if they'll even read it. but hey there's my piece, and if you wanna get behind it and help be my guest. i have literally 0 idea how we'd do this but it's what needs to be done i suppose we could do something like #save TF2 but idk)

All true.

Also you will find people, likely on this forum who will argue against everything you think is beneficial.

true but even they can't admit FFXIV is a perfect game or else everyone would play it (no game is perfect and doesn't need to be looked at or improved on) and even they should join this movement

You know the devs are Japanese, right?

which is why you push for it to evolve into a worldwide movement. also jus cause they aren't english speakers (or i'd assume alot of languages) doesn't mean we should be getting ignored or any other nationality that they don't speak the language of. plus we can still send a message to SE who does have offices and teams over here.

thats like saying the devs only speak in hieroglyphics so might as well stop trying to improve the game or suggesting things fellas. we've breached the communication barrier before and in different ways and we can do it again

This! I absolutely agree with this! In the past people had told me that the devs won’t listen to my request in adding the Garlean glam. But when I’ve heard of the Q&A on February, I immediately asked them if they’re going to add the gear in the future, and Yoshida said he will! And that made me SO happy after patiently requesting it for so many years!

So never give up!

thats not even remotely a logical supposition to make based on previous patches, game improvements, and live letters. we aren't ignored, we just don't have a dedicated CM to play hold the hands of forum posters.

one word HEALERS

I am fluent in Japanese as well so I go to the Japanese forums, and really the tone is quite different with far fewer complaints and an ample amount of "self-policing" between users when redundant threads exist.
However, with the recent issue in Crystal Conflict and perceived over-powered condition of Black Mages, the forum erupted with multiple threads for the same issue with quickly escalating amount of pages... and many posts deleted by moderators.
That seems to have led to a fairly quick fix and letter from Yoshida-san.

I wonder if the quick fix was due to how it was the Japanese fans who erupted, and thus the whole "they listen more to Japanese fans" seems to warrant some merit.
I see far more critique in the English forums for sure (and many of these seem to be valid) but very few feedback (or moderator attention) from the development team.

and? saying that players aren't satisfied with the design of healers gameplay isn't as impactful a statement as you think it is. the kaiten changes that even you list are the result of feedback from the forums. they just weren't the changes that people wanted. and thems the breaks of game development.
and that not even pointing out that the largest MMO does the same thing with non english speaking players.
