How would you improve ARR

[Shirana]

Just my opinions. Don't get all jumpy they aren't what the community wants. Just things I would like to see.

1) More Instanced dungeons. Don't care if it's 15-49 or lvl 50. I like dungeons and it's the main source of entertainment for me. Done them a million times over and still not bored with them, even brayflox HM after all the myth spamming for my animus.

2) Hunts as treasure maps. I dislike open world content. Especially ones like the hunt. I'm not going to bother joining knowing my chances of getting there, especially with a slower computer, are slim. It's just a waste of my time as it is now. Though to be honest even if it were maps already I would probably get bored of it pretty quickly anyways. It's just insanely repetitious like FATEs. At least in dungeons things can go wrong, people do other strategies, or maybe the tank is not so good so it gets kinda hectic, ect...

3) Make gear equal to coil outside of coil. Just to fix the attitude problem people apparently have with non-coil goers for not being "the best" in the game. Well it probably wouldn't fix the attitude but it would be a nice slap in the face. Based off only like 3 dungeons where I met people with HA gear on but they were complete a-hats to everyone.

4) Someway to not harass new players for watching cutscenes. No idea how, just sort of on the wishlist lol

5) Dye more than one part or section of an armor.

6) More raids like CT/ST. Those are also great fun and hecticness. Had great amounts of fun on the first day when everyone was new and we slowly figured it out, winning with like 5ish mins left on the clock x3

7) Higher chances for armor instead of mats or something. Been over 3 months...and I still haven't gotten the entire Hussar set from the HM Brayflox/Halatali/Amdapor because it's apparently such a rarity lol Though it is quite funny at times. Like when you beat the final boss and they start talking about their secret or whatever and you open the chest to see Coke lol

8) Removed weekly lockout on any and all Coil. I don't really do coil much, but i read some of the complaints on this. Does seem bogus you can't go back and at least do it for fun...

9) More primals. Those are fun too. Except Titan. Never >.>

10) More fights like the one in Stone Vigil HM would be great. I sucked horrible on it as healer (but that's just because I suck at keeping myself alive as healer anyways apparently) but it was pretty awesome. Makes me nostalgic for Star Ocean 3, probably one of the only games I ever really enjoyed xD Bosses had actual physics to them (legs could crush you as they walk for example), and you read their movements to understand their attacks. It was pretty sweet.

I might add more later, just typed this up in a hurry while getting ready for work.

FIX THE HUNTS. That is all.

Personally I want a tiny checkbox (or a NPC that gives the options) in the options that triggers "Theme park mode".

Theme park mode:
- Balloon icon next to name to show the mode is on.
- NPCs available that will trade you any gear in the game for free.
- Balloon icons on gear given by NPCs. These are unwearable if theme park mode is off.
- Unable to lot on drops.
- All locked quests are still locked until previous content is cleared.

So who is theme park mode for?
- People who want to have an easier time to clear certain dungeons/etc. by wearing higher ilvl gear.
- People who want to join friends on a high ilvl activity but has not yet grinded all the gear.
- People who want to join PvP without first working up gear to not get smashed.
- People who like vanity and dressing up, but do not enjoy grinding first.
- Or simply people with little free time to play.

And who is this mode not intended for?
- People who like to earn things through grind and show off.
- People who want to take it slowly and let things come naturally.
- People who don't want to play unless it drops something they want.
- People who want to skip content. (Because it is not designed to skip the unlocking of new content)

Apply to Square Enix as a developer, provide my resume in the industry, and hopefully snag an interview.

I would then probably have to go through a few rounds of interviews against other programmers, but eventually, if I plead my case well enough, I land the job. I would then proceed to change whatever the Producer and QA told me to change, because I'm a programmer.

That's how I would improve the game in Real Life.

I worry that could be very frustrating.

Well they would be the ones providing the money to put bread on the table, so be it. I wonder what their 401k plan is...

Sequen Evening Gown.

Think of the sparkle. Think of the GLAMOUR. A glitzy red-carpet-ready dress would change Eorzea.

[Nosiahk]

Add FFXI NM/HNM system. Toss hunts away. Fk it! Bring on the competition baby!

[ZReport]

Add guns and blue magic.

I doubt any of this will ever happen, but:

• Open world mini dungeons/caves/whatever.
• A return to strong natural aesthetic. Flashy stuff only on occasion to make it more prominent and refined.
• Quests deviating from the typical goals.
• Belts, because after a year of seeing what they've come up with, it wasn't worth the tradeoff.
