    FINAL FANTASY XIV Suggestive Changes

    Instead of posting a huge wall of text and possibly running into the issue of needing to make multiple posts, I put together a list of suggestions and concerns into one giant PDF file. This PDF attempts to shine light on most of the issues the game has been having and a lot of the issues that players are seeking to have addressed.

    Take into consideration that not everyone will agree on some or many of these changes. I also didn't take the liberty of prioritizing these changes, I felt that as a player I have every right suggesting changes, but have no right nor actual say in how and when changes occur.

    That is a bit of a read, and i like how you've thought about a lot of the issues.

    The main issue i have with this game is the armory system... it needs to go. It literally sucks all the fun out of the game for me. I like having a class, and seeing what i can do within that class.

    They need to either go to having classes with some sort of subclassing or go all out and just have skill trees where you build your own character out of classes. The current system is horrid.

    Suggestive Changes
    Well, I chuckled anyway.

    EDIT: This is really well done, just looking through it now. It's very unique and shows a lot of effort's been put in, hope they notice it!

    EDIT2: Just to say, whilst presented well, putting things like "How is multishot even fair compared to every other class? Seriously." Just smacks of bias and doesn't provide the clarity they're looking for in solutions. Not that it's incorrect, it just makes the presentation seem less professional.

    That's too bad. The armory system is the only unique gem FFXIV really has versus all other MMOs.

    I like the armory system and being able to mix and match my skills and abilities.

    Well, if I wanted to be professional, then I would remove every editorial comment put into it.
    It's only in a PDF format because of the length of it all and although I don't want to come off yapping my mouth left and right in it, I also don't want to censor my frustration with some things.

    How about a login feature that kicks you in the crotch anytime you go to play, that would be something that no other MMO has either.

    Just because its unique doesn't mean its good. But this is my opinion, and they can choose to keep the armory system and i'll just not play.

    But how is making a gladiator (master of weapons) only able to use a "one handed blade" allowing you to customize your character? What if this system was in 11? A paladin goes to rest and switches over to a dark staff... and suddenly he is a mage... that makes a lot of sense to me.

    I'm using a keyboard now, so i guess i work in IT... but if i get up to make a sandwich and pick up a butter knife i'm suddenly a gladiator rawr!!!

    Weapons don't make a class... the abilities of a class make a class... and now we have weapons which decide your profession... with any abilities you want. That makes perfect sense.

    Although putting Gladiator into the role it's in now is a bit disappointing, they have already mentioned the classes are going to change in one way or another.
