Rewards are Punishment. Yes.

Absolutely agree, there are a good number of features in many other games FFXIV could use.

I can't quicksynth housing items. Why? Who knows!
I can't automatically hit a "complete all crafts" required button for a craft that's 10 or more levels below the cap, which are trivial to max quality anyway (1 button for quality, then progress for the rest). Gachas do this well, you just hit a button and it does the micromanaging for you.,
I can't desynth a bunch of junk items that I want to with one press, instead being forced to click each item individually. Why can't I just hit a button that's like "desynth all not in armoury chest"? Again, gachas do this well, one button.
I can't hit a toggle for the **nag-boxes**, the "are you sure?" "frfr?" "no cap?" ones. Yes game, I want the collectable fish. I want to dye these 200 housing items.

The list of complaints goes on and on, a lot of quality of life improvements just dont exist in this game, when they have in others for, in some cases, at least a decade.

There's something deeply wrong with the way the game is programmed and they refuse to fix it. Refactoring something like this shouldn't have been ignored for 10 years. It's beyond unacceptable.

i am pretty sure storing an actual item+ dye is a lot worse than a simple checkbox of the armor pieces you accquired already.

Worse still, every item likely needs to hold 9-15 values, even if not all aspects are actually used: Original ID; Required Level, Primary Stat, Secondary 1, Secondary 2, Secondary 3 (because old pink gear), Secondary 4 (again, because of old pink gear from Diadem) [hopefully all bundled with the original ID]; Materia 1, Materia 2, Materia 3 (because ornamental gear), Materia 4 (same), Materia 5 (same), Appearance/Glamour, Dye 1, Dye 2.

Of those, 4 make sense: Original ID (with bundled base stats), Appearance, Dye 1, Dye 2. There's no need for Materia to be attached to gear rather than to one's job since doing so, in effect, just devalues customization simply to ensure more menu-grind and gil-sink. We'd use less data, make the game less irritating, and offer more customization if we just handled Materia outside of gear-slots. Such a revamp would allow us to consume a hell of a lot less inventory space, too, if replacing the individual item drops with granular currency. Ideally, the same could be done for glamours, allowing us a different glamour per job

So, in replacing the items with an achievement we would have to add as many more bits as we have items per character, yes, but we could then also remove the 800 inventory spaces of glamour dressers, which are far more than a bit each.

Moreover, if we wanted, we could transition item-based materia into currency, reducing it into one bite each per type instead of up to, what, 13 item IDs and associated inventory slots and counters per type.

Finally, if we wanted to move materia and glamours to be job-based instead, independent of the actual gear pieces, we could reduce the number of tags per gear-piece by 53 to 89% (depending on whether stats are just bundled in with the original item ID, in which case each piece of gear could hold as little as only that).

Think expanding the 'outfit' system to include non-cosmetic gear would go a long way to 'band-aid' fixing the issue.

This. Just being able to group up all the same-model jewelry from a dungeon would free up so many slots in my dresser!
Sometimes, some dungeon sets are so nice you want every single piece. Or sometimes you just want two pieces, but at that point might as well collect everything so it only takes one slot in the dresser. I'd love this.

They just need to remove the Job & Level requirements from gear in the Glamour Dresser

While that'd be nice, I don't expect that to happen any time soon, specially considering YoshiP's stance on it the last time he was asked about it. Hopefully he has changed his mind since then, but at least extending the outfit functionality to everything else would be a great start.


I don't necessarily mind the level restrictions. It's not like it's hard to level up, so if it's less work for them to keep that in there, I don't care.

It's so awful to use though. I don't want to spend 3 hours left clicking ever again. I'd rather play another game.

my inventory is so full

Occult Crescent disappointed. See y'all in 8.0
