It's time to speak up!

[Onidemon]

I see a lot of threads about things people want fixed and changes they are expecting. I've seen a lot of great ideas and good suggestions from other players and i remembered Yoshi-p saying in an interview that him and the development will be discussing the most popular threads.

So i decided to create this thread and put together the best suggestions i have seen in other posts and make some kind of poll/suggestion thread.

All you need to do is vote for which feature you wish to see in the game in each category i have listed. You can also suggest other features that are not listed and if people agree with you and vote for your idea it also be added to this tread.

I'll come and edit this post and votes based on your replies.

The most voted option for each question will have a * next to it.

In a month there will be no more voting possible, the least voted features will be removed and we will have an overview of what the majority of the FFXIV players wish to see in the game's future and hopefully the development team will read it.

WOW is not the only game to have had mounts. And yes other FF games only had chocobos but this is a mmo and other players might feel that they need different kind of mounts to stand out from the crowd.

[Maverynthia]

Hey Square Enix, just make this game a clone of WoW, but only you know.. Final Fantasy.. yeah, don't make it different in any other way. *cough cough*

NO.

[Onidemon]

Hey Square Enix, just make this game a clone of WoW, but only you know.. Final Fantasy.. yeah, don't make it different in any other way. *cough cough*

NO.

Hey Square Enix, try to make a mmo while staying away from concepts that 1000 other mmo already explored and then be left with a handful of broken system nobody will enjoy but then you will be completely original just for the sake of being original... oh wait you already did that with FFXIV....
