What would you love to see in ARR?

I really like this idea! Then the developers could have a concrete list to work with instead of a bunch of threads that die, then resurface, then die... etc.

Umm... I'll just throw a few things out of the noggin. (Edited to expand a bit)


Player-owned flyable Airships with non-instanced housing and Airship docks located at each of the three major city-states. Let players take to the skies with their friends using player and guild airships. The airship system could introduce a new character, one of Cid's colleagues. The tutorial would also serve as a questline based on the character and his/her past with Cid.

There would be a customization system based on different ship types. Individual players would have access to smaller airship types, Linkshells would have access to medium-sized airship types (ones meant for small groups), and Free Companies, once leveled up sufficiently, could work together to buy a super-expensive Guild Airship, which could serve as both a means of mass transport and as a base of operations, a hang-out, etc.

The usage of a guild airship could be for any reason the guild wants. There would be settings for entry and exit, as well as an automatic route loop the airship can go with systems put in place to prevent airships from hitting each other in that automatic loop. This system could potentially let Guild Airships travel the skies of the three city-states before docking for an hour and leaving back to the skies. Then, these airships could be used as public transportation, and depending on the use, even serve as a hang-out for all players. Like the Golden Saucer in the sky.

Customization would include the usual chairs, couches, etc. But it would also include olde-fashioned pools, thrones, and mini-games that players can participate in whilst they travel the skies with the winds at their backs. Different ship types would give access to different customization items. Ex: Most single-player airships will be pretty small, only giving outside space and little room on the inside. Can't really fit a throne into that... while Guild Airships would have a gigantic inner area to customize at will.

Players can use these airships to explore floating islands and stuff.


New hairstyles released every few months. Gotta give that barber a use! Then, over the span of a few years, there could be a large, immense amount of player customization and individuality.

Gilgamesh... and with his own questline. I wanna know more about the Void. Don't really know how to go into detail regarding that.
