If we get ten more years of final fantasy xiv expansions...

10 years!?

Nah bruh....just make XVII.

Put Matsui in charge of the job system though.

Someone doesn't pay attention to XIV's news media it seems—we're entering the next ten year plan and Yoshida said he has another ten years he has planned after that.
These things were stated during the Future of FFXIV Live Stream from February 2022, they aren't making another MMO anytime soon and just plan continued expansion support for XIV.

They even went so far as calling the 7.0 graphics update the first graphics update, implying they plan to have another in the future.

They might go to 99 for the lul's in next expansion, but I see them just doing a level squish after that and bringing everyone back down to 50. It kinda needs to happen anyways with the potency creep we've been having.

[KageTokage]

Given how many "empty" levels there are with no new skills or passives attached to them, I could see them reasonably squishing things down a lot going into the future.

I really hope we go far beyond level 100, I've said this in another thread but I've always found super high numbers attatched to my character incredibly sexy

I can't stand it. Fortunately in this game you only need one character, but in WoW leveling alts became a chore and SWTOR is getting there as well to the point I pretty much only take alts through the original 3 chapters and basically abandon them at level 50.

I hope one way or another, they will finally find a way to improve housing and glamor system to be more enjoyable. These two have so much potentials, but are gated behind by design choices and spaghetti coding.

That and character customization. This game is so incredibly limited in that aspect. 1 in 4 people look the exact same.
Most people i know have met their clones in the game, be it other players or characters.

I think you're confusing this game with FFXI where players were literally limited to hairstyle, facial model, height/body mass/skin tone and hair colour (there was no hair or skin colour pallete choice, only six hairstyles with a single alternative colour, choice of hairstyle was locked to facial model, each race and gender had it's own unique hairstyles not available to any other race etc etc).

Sure FFXIV might not have extremely detailed customization but it's still lightyears ahead of FFXI, so if anyone meets "their clone" in another player's character, that's not a limitation of the game's character creation, that's simply lazy players lacking imagination and creativity (too many Link cosplayers for one). And SE can't fix that I'm afraid.

I honestly can almost never distinguish players by looks alone unless they're using a very distinctive glam set-up and/or an unconventional skin tone/hair color combo.

Even just looking at people's avatars on the forums there's a very obvious preference for the "natural" tones in the latter regard.

For shame. Worried that your players are filling up a leveling bar too fast? Just add a new bar with a different level~!
They already have the system in place ala Bozja ranks and Eureka levels. It would not be hard at all!
