Wishlist for 8.0

[Raikai]

Would be nice if ff14 Picto have art deco motifs and aesthetic instead of cartoonish ones like we currently have.... Personally speaking of course.

8.0 pls give us ability to summon vaguely Nevron shaped creature.
(I mean, like SMN, PCT should be the closest job to creation magic anyway)

In an ideal world, a job like Pictomancer would have a dedicated menu, like BRD's Performance, called "Art Styles" or something like that, where you could collect and customize the Motifs' appearances.

Maybe one would swap them to Far Eastern black ink style? Or more art deco, Ishgardian maybe?

I'm picturing what a Far Eastern Madeen could be, something fierce like a edo-style illustration instead of a cartoon.

Could even be some sort of collectible unlocks.

That would be cool indeed. Imagine if we have optional side quest on each region to unlock those art styles. For examples, eorzea unlocks the default art style. Ishgard is art nouveau, Far eastern is East Asia style, ala mhigo for middle east, Crystarium/Amaurot for art deco, and so on.

(Obviously there will be generalization, but better than nothing imo)

The only downside is the art team has to produce multiple Motifs in different art styles, but I believe they can do it.

That would be amazing! I always look at the Byakko Ex weapons and think that would be a really cool style for PCT.

Stuff like that is where some of our sub money should be going! o/

- I wish for alt friendlyness! I would love to have (or buy) even more slots per server. I am not a fan of playing multiple classes with one char, so many classes remain untouched...
Give us an account bank so alts can exchange stuff without the help of other players or the guild bank.
At least make it possible for alts to friendlist/email each other.

This game is mostly great and we have tons of races and classes but the game limits us to actually use them. Please change this.

- I'd like to have a crafting mat bank. Even better if everything you gather jumps right there. Even far better if this is shared between all alts. The market would benefit of such a system as well.

Fix Healers.

-Remove glamour restrictions, let people glamour the way they want. There are many NPCs who wear armor mixed and matched from different jobs so the Warrior of Light should be able to as well!

In order to clear up any potential misunderstandings if these get translated to Japanese. By "Artifact Job Gear" the commenters in this thread mean only the gear that is given to you at the end of every job quest. All other gear must remain unrestricted, Including all other combat gear. Artifact job gear is the only gear that I would be okay with being remained restricted. This is my #1 complaint about the game atm. The contradiction that the NPCs can dress in ways that the WOL cannot is driving me crazy.

Second, the Square Enix financial department needs to grant more funding to FFXIV and redirect resources and manpower back to the game in general. This game shouldn't have to run into cost issues when it's providing most of Square Enix's profits.

Aside from that
-Increased focus on zone design, and interior areas that can be entered in the open world.
-Renewed focus on MSQ
-Job rework / fix healers
-More voice acted scenes
-More solo duties
-Give Riol some love why don'tcha?
-Just character customization stuff.
-The ability to customize the appearance of abilities, kind of like how you can do with egis would be cool! Don't know if it's possible but it seems many here including myself would like that.
-Increased communication and interaction with community managers and Yoshi P.

Also, instead of retiring things if they're negatively received, such as with what happened with field explorations when Bozja was criticized back in Shadowbringers, or removing from the story characters that were negatively received in msq. Use the criticism to make them better! Don't just throw them away! Because for as many detractors as there are of these things, there are also many fans. You've already shown yourself capable of this, like as raids have been improved since Binding Coils, and Alphinaud, who was generally hated back in ARR, was improved and underwent excellent character development based on his criticism and now he's a fan favorite.

a glam collection / storage / catalogue / wardrobe. which enables us to collect it all without having too little inventory space. its frustrating and unsatisfying as it is now.
make it shared between characters.


at least one glam plate for each job (including crafter and gatherer) + a few extra for special occasions.

Can't emphasize enough how much I agree with this, I would actually collect if they did this. Gods I wish it were the case so badly.

Please revive the old PvP gears/mounts for us that miss out.

[ShadowyZero]

-no glamour or gender restrictions for obtainable equipment its time to stop pretending whats appropriate or lore friendly an just let people wear whatever they please as long as they have the piece of equipment.

-overhaul the open world make it more alive, more vast, more immersive an give us alot more to explore an do.

-make questing fun, spice it up with some minigames, add more variancy, let us have more epic battles like the zenos fight, or the naadam battle.

-instance based homes for solo players no more wards, no more districts, just let everyone own a plot which can have any size of house they want as long as they have the gil required to build it or purchase materials from the market board etc. make it a living biome which the player can control the environment to change weather effects

-stop repeating content start adding new gameplay into the game criterion/varient dungeons are a step in the right direction, as is crystal conflict(albeit its not my slice of bread or cup of tea personally) keep trying new ideas its worth the risk an provides a fresh perspective an new gameplay element for people to do.
