Top 10 Changes You Want To See

[Fiosha_Maureiba]

Also not in the order of priority:

#1) Being able to get back into the game quicker after undesired disconnect, program crash, or computer crash.

#2) Increased weapon availability such as 1H axes, maces, 2H swords, katanas, crossbows, etc. Would also like to see longer swords like the Iron Falchion at lower optimal ranks.

#3) More types of armor and clothing design. Possibly allowing for apparel to be equipped that governs our appearance, but does not affect stats (I.e. we found a really cool low rank armor set, but want to have the defense benefits of a less aesthetically pleasing higher rank armor set).

#4) Less obsfucation of game mechanics (I.e. food effects, effectiveness of Dex and Pie (pie is yummy), effectiveness of debuffs and buffs, etc.)

#5) Introduce cactuars later than rank 20 leves. Or introduce a less painful attack such as 100 Needles. Tried to duo a group of three and somehow all three of them got off 1000 Needles. Survival not guaranteed.

#6) Given the size of the maps/zones, perhaps new tunes in areas of other camps.

#7) Mouse friendlier interface, even though I'm using a gamepad, I would still like certain intuities to be implemented (right clicking a vendor to get to the buy/sell screen, right clicking an item to sell, right clicking on a name in the chat interface allowing us to party invite/linkshell invite/blacklist/tell, plus other uses of mouse driven interface.)

#8) Mail and delivery system. Support the ability to make transactions through mail as well.

#9) Why does my face affect my breast size? If this unintended, please update. If intentional, please separate.

#10) Can hyur females toggle whether their arms flail from side to side when running? I didn't feel like a Disciple of War who could be taken seriously when running like that.

Can't believe (Yes I can) I used my lasty two wants on that instead of content. Something must be wrong with me. (Runs away withOUT flailing arms, cause I'm a miqo'te nyow!)

i mentioned it already but it would be nice if at least one race had nice big boobies like the females in Blade and Soul.

[Glade]

1.) make attributes actually do something other than vit and mnd
2.)OPTION TO TURN OFF AMBIANCE SOUND
3.)make Food more popular by adding a greater variety in what they do
4.)airships
5.)mail system or at least in between your own characters
6.)Job specific gear/artifact armor
7.)more armor/weapon/clothing variety
8.)more than 4 trade boxes
9.) A /search player feature and seeking party icons. /search comment. or something along the lines of that, current system stinks.
10.)better linkshell lists ect.

Such specific changes ...

First they need to fix the basics of the game.

1) Balance the classes, make it more fun to play a certain class and make them more unique.
2) Add group based leveling.
3) New leves.
4) New story based quests. Not the current sidequests, those are really NPC given leves. Only difference is that you do not get EXP/SP and that you talk to a NPC instead of a crystal.
5) A better group searching function. Bring back the FFXI system if all other fails.
6) Simple command lines like /sea /shutdown
7) More story based missions (like the missions in FFXI or the main storyline quests in FFXIV).
8) Adjustable keys. I want to be able to use the damn arrow keys too .... no key should be locked!
9) When I mute sound, I want it to be mute .... including ambient sound.
10) The rest ....

So many things wrong that they need to fix before they even start thinking about adding more content. Content is easy to add, let them first fix the basics.

Do not get me wrong. I enjoy FFXIV and I will keep playing it, even when I have to pay. However, the only reason I can keep playing is because I trust Square Enix to be able to fix this game and make it a better game. Lots to do .....

Well, Most or all have been mentioned, but I'm still gonna post mine for The Sake of Boredom :P

-Top 10 List-

1)
-More Content, Fun content for low and mid leveled player and "Much More" fun
content for High leveled player.
- More NMs, NM Gear should actually Make sense and worth getting, unlike
Templar Haubergeon. More Events that an LS or maybe Company can do,etc.

2)
-Change in the battle system, Not being able to do actions while on passive mode
or changing gear while on active mode is irritating, Improvement on Battle
Regimen, etc.

3)
-More Party-based battle tactics and strategy, and Job Individuality/uniqueness,
FFXI like.

4)
-More ways, monsters, and places to level/rank. Why? Because I hate leveling in the
same place for a long time as It bores me. Deletion of Fatigue/Surplus System. Leves
should be interesting and

5)
-More Gear that is actually Class specific and cool looking :P

6)
-Public Transports, and Personal Transport like Chocobos, Airships, or maybe Linkshell Specified.

7)
-Residential Wards/Mog House, Mail System Linkshell HQ.

8)
-Community Features + Dismantling "Finished Items", Level Sync, Interesting
Dungeons/Instanced, Bonus/Attribute Points System Improvement.

9)
-More Music for these humongous Area. The music changes slightly everytime you
change Area Region, like Southern Thanalan, Western Thanalan, etc.

10)
-New Jobs, with new weapons of course, like Gunblade, Guns, Dual Guns, Dual
Blade/dagger, 2 Handed Katana/Longsword, something like what Y'shtola did sounds
cool :P


That's basically What I want for now, and what I can think as it is late today, I'll leave things today and edit tomorrow If I find it weird :P

[Nabiri]

Betting mine will be a little backwards compared to most people, but these are things I'd enjoy as a roleplayer.

1. Male Miqo'te as a playable race.
2. Housing.
3. More unique/Final Fantasy-like jobs with Artifact armor type gear.
4. A mail/delivery box system.
5. Chocobos + Airshps.
6. The ability to change cities. (Move to another.)
7. Things added to regions to make them look more unique. (glowing rocks, cabins, ruins.)
8. Giant NMs. Especially one that looks like a T-rex. lol.. (Kind of like those in FF-12)
9. More unique events. (Bells are fine for now, while the game's developing. I won't complain about that. We get free stuff. But in the future it would be nice to do mini quests or games to win items. :3)
10. Knowledge on what FFXIV foods do, and more recipes!

[MaxWinter]

because everyone said chocobos , i say moogles they need some love too : )

[Acydcross]

I'm eager to have party system of FFXI again. But I don't want this to be FFXI-2 (it's safe to say that all mmorpg nowdays do not have a party system like FFXI). Anyways, my list is mostly about party system:



1) Improved search for party (Kinda like seeking party flag from FFXI maybe some changes.)

2) Increased stats effect from Bonus Point Allotment (For example: not when I put 1 on STR I get +0.21435355 to damage.)

3) Class uniqueness/Job (I want a real tank, a real healer, a real nuker, a real backstabber, a real buffer.)

4) More reward options from Guild class (like more traits, active skills, gears, potions/foods, or whatever! Just give us more customizations!)

5) Fix or remove the Battle regiment (Make it to a not confusing way to use.)

6) More gears/equipments options (For more customizations!)

7) Main storyline quests that need a party to finish (So we can use the search party system.)

8) Add house system (Where you can recieve mails, do gardening and grow vegetables/fruits (not crystals!), storage (retainers need to rest too!), hatch an egg (chocobo/pet), a lot more!)

9) More features of Linkshell (Like welcome messages, linkshell's skills, etc.)

10) Mounts (Give us a variety of mounts! Not just colored chocobos!)

[Laughlyn]

1. Proper content, not just 2-3 tweaks / patch.
2. More players
3. More players..
4. More players...
5. More Active players....
6. More...gah...whats the freakin point...
7. ...
8. ..
9. .
10. i need a new offline game >.>

[SilvertearRen]

My number one gripe right now? Fatigue. I spent a whole day trying to grind to LNC 40, from the very beginning of Rank 39. Guess what? YELLOW FATIGUE a mere 10k SP before I could get Rank 40. It's really infuriating.

This needs to be fixed. This is a bad example of Tanaka's legacy, and it needs to be terminated, immediately. Get rid of Fatigue. The base SP rewards for grinding up to 50 is enough of a treadmill to start with. Players have complained about fatigue since Alpha, and it still hasn't been removed.

Fatigue does NOTHING but discourage me from playing the game, making me want to LOG OUT. This is the OPPOSITE of what Square Enix wants with their products, I'm sure.

The way the Fatigue is designed, it's like it's saying implicitly to me, "Hello. Your allotted time for this class has expired. Please play something else, because we want to force you to conform to our expectations."

Edit: Also! I *know* that Square Enix plans on raising the level cap for the game, or adding new jobs. So if a level cap raise is in the works, that means fatigue will be even MORE painful and irritating to deal with...we don't want that.
