Suggestions (very long) O.o

[MistyMew]

This is super long O.o

Many are very tiny QoL things but every so often I feel the desire to restate my opinions in the faint hope SE themselves may take note.

1.Housing (my biggest pet peeve...sorry)

-First and foremost increase availability by huge margain to finally allow fc's and players to get their home!!! (long long overdue)

-Secondly : I can't emphasize enough: COPY RIFT 100% instanced dimension design, ffxivs entire housing design is so limiting, plop and drop style; it is so bland, basic, boring and uncreative for the players for such a modern game.

4/10 at best ;;

-Would I suggest a complete revamp? oh YES...total and complete!!!!

The long term pay off /satisfaction for players far outweighs the developer/designer time.
We need ability to BUILD...we should be able to create a haunted rickty old house if we choose, a palace of solid marble, a western tavern, a jumping maze, let ME build a swimming pool...a jukebox...an arcade game...a race track...a cave to hide my treasures, a wet bar lol.. idc but let ME build it!

Rift allows creating your own sky effects, floaty fairy dust effects, sandstorms, lightning effects, rain effects, a pletora of light effects, even daytime /nighttime controls that are permanant until changed by the owner.

It allows for addition of gorgeous waterfalls, mountains , trees of any size shape and color every item is scalable from pebble size tiny to unreal hugeeeee, full manipulation and control is possible.. a rock can become a mountain...literally!

-That's how much creativity and flexibility it has. Until one has created a few dimensions , players here honestly can't imagine what we are missing. It would add such a large creative aspect to housing...I crave for that in this game that is so beautiful but so so limiting.

In Rift, there is almost NO limit but your imagination, (and an item limit in the thousands) plus we have a zone to build in, they are huge.

Sadly in ffxiv we have a predetermined 100x100 yalm lot, to place a predetermined sized home, with a predetermined appearance, furnished with predetermined furniture to place in the predeterined rooms with an unblieveably small item count.
Just ugh...not to mention extreme cost for "mansions" and extreme lack of availability for so many.

We can't build, can't suspend objects mid air, nor partially bury items into floor or ceiling, walls etc ..just hitting walls of can't can't can't no matter which way we turn.

(Oh yes, we can rotate..my bad... how deep and invigorating can ya get...

I am so overwhelmed -.-

And they are never taken away on a player who takes even years as a break..you buy your dimension zone (cheaply too I may add...its yours forever)

I cant stress enough how much we are missing out on and how enjoyable and engaging housing COULD be, plz I beg you to make ffxiv as good as Rift, raise the bar, raise your standars with this.

I am so passionate about this because I do care about ffxiv more then Rift, I enjoy most of the game much more and sadly I KNOW what we are missing when it comes to housing.

Players as solo or all out huge FC would LOVE the change, anyone with even 1 creative bone in their body would spend months designing and building some of the most gorgeous areas to call their own as opposed to minutes to plop items down...(errr, rotate them) and walk away.

The base items already exist ingame, the textures, the brick paths, the cobblestone, the wood..the tiles everything is there just let US use it , let us create exactly what we desire.
Make housing fun > just a gil sink for a select to obtain special abilities or items, the core of housing the lot/zone/the house should be more of the lure then the "buffs" imo.

SE has IMMENSE talent ..a huge huge pool of talent to draw from , they do an awesome job artistically with many aspects of the game, if any team could achieve this perfection, they could!!!

I do give them credit for that!!! They could make housing sooooo good its crazy, I know they could but chose to go with a far lower standard , its so disappointing ;;
/beg

2 -Chocobo - can be summoned while signed for df
-minion pets called while chocobo is out
-ability to withdraw chocobo from a party from a city

3 - Ability to click and link items from "timer" menu directly into the mb while opened

4 - Fewer confirmations for the some interfaces ie/ taking airship, ummm yes im sure and definately I am sure..I said yes let me board!! (completely remove confirmation to enter ones own home or FC home- simple 1 click to open door etc...)

5 - Addition of high heel shoes and boots (not tons of them just a couple choices for vanity would be nice...

and NO not created with the rarest materials in the history of ffxiv,not from airship missions, not from months of scrip hand ins ...They are statless shoes for goodness sakes Oo..offer them vendor bought at GS or something (and my gut is telling me I need to clarify..no not for 1 million MGP).

6 - Ability to dye outfits either a soild color OR be able to dye both primary and secondary colors individually on all gear.
(dungeon gear included...should not need upgraded tome gear to dye it as well...it just for looks, loosen the titan grip on "fun" things)

7 - Huge increase in pure white and jet black dye aquisition from retainers

8 - Addition of many many more sets of vanity gear somewhere of varying styles from the "nun stuffy stuff" to fantasy style plz ^^, GS would be a good spot

9 - Please no more vanity crafted gear which can only be made some of the rarest and most expensive mats ingame. Vanity should be about fun, plz remember that. I find it quite sad that se feels the need to make the "fun" things the most expensive, the most difficult to obtain,and the rarest to ever exist things in game.

Considering these things simply make us look better, (glamour) or that just.... sit there(furniture) imo these should never ever be the most frustrating to obtain. Please stop restricting these things behind such monetary, or acquisition gates it is not fun ...
(I do apologize but it needed to be said)

10 - Always gonna ask for more hairstyles for all races/sexes (would really like one that is waist length)

11 - Option to use both eye makeup and blush

12 - General inventory increase to double now that seperate af sets are sadly again ingame for crafters..and other jobs

13 - Seperate glamour book to hold all vanity items

14 - Flyng- I can't suggest anything it is awesomeeee and done excellent!! (had to fit that in there lol)

15 - Daily hunt clan mark menus...design more like the relic books were to open and display all mobs/book at once in a grid type style. Scrolling through each page is not a huge deal but would simply be more efficient to glance at all 5 at once when opened

16 - add The Aetherochemical Research Facility to daily expert.

17 - Red scrips ;;; just wow ...I can't coment politely so I will just shh about them for now ( I sumbitted my opinion with an in-game suggestion anyway)

18 - More hotbars ...also add the ability to break them up into smaller bars that we can move about the ui at our discretion

19 - Seperate buffs and debuffs into 2 bars!!!

20 - Ability to break pt ui into individual players that we can move where we see fit.
-Ability to track or UNTRACK other pt members mp, tp one day, buffs or debuffs (should be completely controlled by player. (UI is not too bad tbh but very basic, still needs some tweaking and more player options imo.)

21 - Shared macro tab/server

22 - Getting a lot of different currencies....just saying.

23 - A new 24man raid addition asap, was one of the most poular compared to 8 man ...needs to happen soon plz!

24 - All content on df solo sign up day of release...always normal to story to savage...always

25 - HQ food should last 1 hr like in ffxi

26 - Submenu of meals at mb according to primary stat, ie/ deterination, GP, Crit etc.

27 - Ability to buy groups of items at one time from vendors like gc for example, or the tokens from Blue/red scrip vendor etc

SE you honestly need a fun factor consultant..... I volunteer ♥
lol
