Really looking forward to the graphics update.

I just want access to all the helmets and hats that everyone else can wear. That's it.

Hear hear! Funnily enough, that lighting update should go the longest way towards fixing the big issues in the overworld, but everything helps. For example, the improvements to the face meshes will make shadowing and lighting on them less jarring as well.

We might get to see a Varis that doesn't look like ps2 jank and a non-pixel Exarch in our lifetimes. How harrowing. (/sarc)

That’s a big thing for me to when you get certain indoor scenes and the lighting causes some real questionable self shadowing/brightness on the face of someone and their skin looks like a barbie doll haha. Seeing the example image already makes it a million times better with the actual skin shader. Lighting, shadows and anti aliasing are the biggest issues outside of obvious things like textures.

Really looking forward to the graphics update.

Likewise, though am concerned that my aging PC might find it hard work, if it can even handle it at all!

And have started saving for a new PC with that in mind!

Even if they do look great I'm sure you'll find something to whine about.

Ask Hrothgar players how good Square is at updating existing assets

I want to go to the city state of Lea Monde. Unlike its variant in Vagrant Story, XIV's version is said to still be bustling with activity.

I would like to see the western continent, home of the Mamool Ja and Blue Magic. Further, I would be interested in seeing if there are any analogs to North America or South America, like parts of Othard and Eorzea have been reminiscent of Asia and Europe.

I want to go to more shards. We've been to the First and the Thirteenth, but we still have many other worlds we could check out- worlds not yet threatened by calamities, where the entirety of the land's flora and fauna could have evolved differently than the Source.

I want to see Battleleves return as a method of storytelling and item acquisition. Leveling maybe as well, but I think that they have more potential than what we have seen since ARR and Heavensward, and having them only be available to crafters is boring.

I want the "Return to Vana'diel" Final Fantasy XI content they teased. Give me my Brigandine as a raid reward already, and add more onto Iroha's story. Canonically she's still running around Eorzea somewhere.

Oh and I want them to bring back Matsuno to properly finish Noah van Gabranth's story. We have plenty that can still be told, especially regarding Dalmasca and its Resistance Leaders.
