Missing Gameplay Infused Roleplay (& Comparing FFXIV Gameplay Roleplay to Other MMOs)

[Raraka]

Totally agree with the post. While reading it I instantly started thinking what they could do with XIV and... yeah, not everything has to be amazing, just needs to contribute to the feel of being certain class/job, so I would be more than happy to get new things to play with in XIV

Some of the ideas I brainstormed:

Racial examples:

Keepers of the Moon/Sun: Movement speed buff when its night/day time respectively. The /dance emote changes to a more intricate dance along the buff

Plainsfolk: Increased GP regen while not mounted
Dunesfolk: Chance to save Crystals and clusters while crafting in one of the main cities

Seawolf/Hellsguard: While on the Sea/Desert respectively, massively increase health regeneration. Seawolf get a Sea-shanty singing action, and Hellsguard can lay down to stargaze on the sands

Class examples:

Scholar - Tape and Pencil: With the help of your fairy/carbie you can extend a measuring tape between you two, to measure distances (visible by party members). In instances, you can draw on the floor while out of combat (and it gets erased when combat is engaged). Ideally this would be used to explain things in scholarly fashion, but I would accept goofy drawings too

Warrior - Beast Roar: De-aggro and make overworld enemies run away from you

Paladin - Out of combat raise/first aid : ^)

I would keep going but I think I have seen posts before where people listed similar concepts. As for the Toy box, I would go as far as to pay for it ;_; I genuinely love so much the effects you describe, my favorite ones were the Chef hat and the shrinking potion. Pls give

holy heck this is way too much for my tiny brain to read entirely atm but i skimmed and get somewhat of a gist in in parts at least, and i like it

i also looked at wtf warband is going to be and i'm so upset ffxiv doesn't let us have things like this. i've been asking for years for them to catch up to this QoL with collectables. our pets, titles, mounts, seasonal event rewards, achievements, REPUTATION i'm so exhausted my old main char has maxed ARR rep but i am playing a new char these days and i'm working on the newer tribes but please have mercy ughdsfs, aetheryte unlocks even, gLAMOUR DRESSER esp with mog station/seasonal event bs, NEEEEEEEEEEEDs to be account-wide i'm so

also other fun things yes

idk i feel our game is super dated and everything we want is "our coding doesn't allow it"
so can we nuke arr again so that it stops being limited by coding??
