what Quality of life improvements do you want?

[Hirototo]

I'd like to see:
1) MCH lunchbox hidden
2) option to turn on/off PC chat bubbles
3) revamp of character creator and new faces for old races (Aymeric or similar face for Elezen!)
4) a new running animation for every race/gender, that could be switched with the basic current animation like pose can be changed /cpose (pls more rough running animation for elezen guys)
5) new harder mode for alliance raids (where you have single 24 party)

I really like these ideas! Genuinely curious though...for item 5, what changes do you think they could implement in 24 party vs. the 3x 8 that we have now that would shake things up? I always appreciate the ideas people come up with.

Thank you!
I thought 24 would be more handy than 3x8 mainly because of two things:
- tanks could shirk each other, making aggro management a bit easier
- healers' area heals could heal everyone instead of just their 8 party

And then there's also buffs(like Bard's buffs or DNC dance partner) could be managed across all 24.
But they'd have to come up with some good workaround for the LB, since there would be just one. So, maybe there would be LB lvl4 introduced, or maybe we could have tripple lvl3 LBs to use. Just tossing out ideas

hats

oh, higher tome cap.

and uh, maybe uncap alliance raids when the savage tiers are uncapped because lol

oh and the mount from the raid should... just... be... unlocked via achievement of clearing the tier. (you can't sell it anyway and most people ain't gettin shit their first kill, so jus' let everyone have the fun thing to show off their...y'know... achievement.)

swappable weapon idle animations because i like some of the womens' options and some of the mens' options

i'd prolly go back to fem au'ra if i could put the greatsword on my shoulder or use a drg idle pose that wasn't stupid ("imo" qualifier before someone tries to fistfight me over this).

Oh, and another thing comes to my mind. I think, if it was to be 24, it would make sense for them to shuffle up a bit the party requirements. Maybe something like:
- minimum of 2 tanks
- minimum of 4 healers
- the rest filled up by damage
- minimum of 16 total players in the party to be able to enter raid

I'm sure someone could plan this out better, but party make up for this particular activity would have to be a bit different, yeah.

I gave it some thought; but a notepad would be cool for in game.

I know /e will allow you to type in say chat and no one can see it but the player themselves; but the chat log will poof if too much text is shown or if the player is logged out. It would be nice to have a saved notepad for very minor reminders. (Not to write novels or anything like that. More like a check list) I know players on PC can easily just use an actual notepad; but it might be nice for those console players. I have a friend who jots notes down on paper all the time for the game because shes on PS5.

I know "Timers" on the game kind of give you a to-do list, along with the challenge log; but honestly I don't think every player is going to go out of their way to fulfill every single thing listed on there every week. The notepad would just help with focusing on those few things that the players are interested in. It also could not just be dailies as well; but reminders for events, prepwork for upcoming patches, and so on.

QoL idea (playing with the alleged theory that inventory slots are limited beyond expansion)

Job stones are in practice a waste of space, because there's nothing you can realistically do with them, you don't need to interact with them in any meaningful way as you can't even manually change jobs by moving them, so... why not remove Job Stones from being items and make them something like an interface feature toggle? A new menu category named "Job Stones" or something like that.

This would free up 25 slots, but then these could be converted into a "Materia Bag". When acquired, they would go directly in there and the bag could hold up to the capacity and any additional ones would go into your inventory.

(Edit: I wouldn't complain if it was a Dye bag instead)

-Remove disciple classes (and just make them jobs only).
-Give WAR back its cone >

- tanks could shirk each other, making aggro management a bit easier
- healers' area heals could heal everyone instead of just their 8 party

And then there's also buffs(like Bard's buffs or DNC dance partner) could be managed across all 24.

This would be so beneficial as a console player. You've got my vote!

I would really like it if there was a color variation to the Closed Position icons when there is more than one DNC in the party.
