Things I miss from FFXI

I know, I know. FFXIV ISN'T FFXI. I get that. But XI had some amazing things in it that I was really hoping to see carry over into XIV. I won't bother mentioning the subjob system, that boat has sailed. But can we get something that at least resembles the Skillchain system in-game? There was nothing more satisfying than chaining attacks together with other players to initiate a pretty (And deadly) elemental effect on your enemies. The timing and coordination necessary brought a really interesting depth to what was otherwise very boring combat. Some people don't like spamming the same three or four moves endlessly, and giving us the option to participate in a skillchain would be a welcome change of pace. Just... think about it?

Mount animations

Am I the only one who's noticed how awkward mounts jump? I realized what's wrong. They use the same animation for jumping whether they're moving or not. This is a pretty small and petty request, but could we get some animations for mount jumping that are more movement compatible?
