Things this game should have had 6 months ago.

Gasp, shudder to think a company would sell a game for $80 that is actually functional. I mean, gimme a break - there was no excuse for the game to be released in the state it was in.

Add to the list:

-Food effects visible and in the tool tips (thank god this is coming)
-Stats that actually do something
-Interesting gear vs. the same 3 outfits reskinned over and over
-nms for all levels (I have always loved that in XI you can start nm hunting [SOLO] at like lvl 15)
-shops/guilds/quests in all the hamlets

If only in those now 9+ months they would have done something other then make shit bigger, but basic common functions are too hard it seems "inb4codingisdifferentanddifficult" comment.

Normally I would agree with the beating a dead horse comments that have been made. We're getting close to the 1 year mark and while I'm encouraged by the changes that they have introduced in 1.18. I'm still a bit anxious based on what we've seen implemented so far.

They've been touting the introduction of companies for months and months now and all we got was 3 or 4 quests. The settlements look really cool but right now are just a new bit of landscape to look at as we run to an aetherite. We've been able to see chocobos and airships in the game since day 1 but it's been 9 months and we're still hoofing it from place to place. The only thing the OP got wrong in my opinion was the title of the post. It should have read things that should have been in the game since day 1. /endrant

Over 10 months actually.
