[DEV] Will SE do another overall survey of the whole player base?

[Gesser]

Love it. Most games of wrong who don't survey their active player-base.

Questions I'd like to see:

1) would you like to see 16-man content introduced? (yes!)

2) would you like to see harder 24-man content introduced? (yes!)

3) would you like to see: a) card game, b) blitzball, or c) classic turn-based jrpg minion dueling? (yes, yes, yes!)

A survey surely would give SE good and more representative hints imo. A forum is nice but only a minority is represented here. Most average players do not care about Game forums or have time for them so although the input provided from the fans in this forum is kinda important, it is just one side of the medal.

I completely support you Kai, we need frequent players surveys if Yoshida wants to get an insight into what the players want.

[KaiKatzchen]

I'm happy that so many like this idea so far!

Adding onto my previous post, I'm sure everyone and their mother wants to see new guilds (DoW, DoM, DoH, DoL) added but...

• What kind of guild would you like the most to see implemented?

[Nyxia-Salix]

A survey would be really nice, because they should be getting our input from somewhere other than just here. I don't even get on these forums, I don't have a need to since I play PS3, so an in game survey would be really helpful.

I hope it works.

As much as I'd like to see a survey to check on our opinions on this and that, I believe that many things are already set in stone up to the first expansion pack. The liver letter tomorrow morning will cover the new roadmap as well as SE's plans for microtransaction (ugh) so so let's wait and see how that go before we factor in another survey.

Nothing is ever set in stone, everything is set in sand because often decisions need to be changed. eg: the MINORITY forum whingers who got the 360 Veteran rewards changed. Only a short sighted business sets their decisions in stone the rest set them in sand because they know outside forces can and usually will impact on said decisions. I would however like to see a survey about all our questions but I wonder how effective it would be because by limiting the responses they allow us for each question they can manipulate the results to suit themselves.

I agree, and I would think if they would change something as silly as a Veteran's reward, they would want an HONEST opinion of what people think of this game and what they would like to see. Or even what they are not liking, etc... I honestly feel like the big issues are totally overlooked or ignored, while stuff that really doesn't effect the game in a major way is delt with and fixed almost instantly.

And as myself and many have pointed out, the majority of the game that actually comes to the forum is much smaller that the percentage that plays the game. They can't base all of their decisions for this game off this small percentage. I would also like to know:

Would players like crafting to have more of an endgame presence?
Will Musketeer be coming out on or before the next expansion release?

and while this isn't a real 'poll question' I would like to know:

Will SE ever put out a stat reset scroll for chocobo's for those who accidentally put stats in multi-classes before realizing they could only specialize in one? (I have multiple friends stuck due to this and there being NO way to reset it! Yet it seems that they have time humor people who think that getting something for free isn't enough and they deserve more free stuff. >.< )

My suggestion would be to make the survey in game, possibly a NPC in Mor Dhona who asks questions and you can submit a response. That way the results could be tallied by player account and allow PS3 and PS4 players to access it in game.

I for one would love to see the difficult content remain difficult (stop nerfing dungeons because people cry they are too hard), an increased presence for crafting in the endgame, and some ultra long-term goals (Zodiac weapons might have this) that would possibly take a year or more to complete.

As far as cash shops go, I would be mixed on that. Selling a Fantasia potion for $0.99 would be fine in my opinion. That could even be super handy if they come out with new playable races in the future. But anything that costs money should not alter the mechanics of the game. I feel it should only be for vanity purposes.
