Final Fantasy XIV Hot Takes

Island Sanctuary should include the Chocobo Stable, Marketboard, and Glamour Dresser.

The Stable and Dresser I could see but I think they’d use the same reasoning for market boards as they did with Mor Dhona way back when.

Lots of people requested them to add a market board there since there was a lot of crafting quests and things in the area. But S.Es response at the time was, ‘we don’t want to create a situation where non-city-states are flooded by players because they have market boards’. It’s the same reason there aren’t market boards in Idyllshire, Eulmore or Radz-at-Han.

No doubt they’d pull out the ‘server limitations’ thing too lol. Personally I think market boards should be available in certain non-state areas. At the very least they should put some in the endgame / time stone exchange cities lol

They dont care about leaving every other zone being dead, so why care about the cities? Cause players start there and it would leave a bad impression?

Low-key drives me crazy that they put a market board in exclusionary Sharlayan over Radz -- canonically famous for its trade, complete with a dramatic arc about its trade lol.

I assume it was to keep Sharlayan alive, since so much of the endgame is centered in Radz otherwise. But I end up just using Ul'dah's or the one near my FC house anyway, so can't say that worked on me.
