Small QoL Improvements

Please let us queue while we have our chocobo out, it is really annoying not being able to have my chocobo fighting with me while I wait for duty finder to pop.

I really don't see why we can't get a warning to dismiss the companion when the queue pop just like we get when we are in a different spec instead of being completely unable to queue for anything at all... >.<

How does what you say make the current setting more logical than the suggestion? It doesn't make a difference.

For example, in many open world situations, like hunting or fate, when you on the map "otw" and party killing trash or "early pull" ,
logically you cannot ride on your chocobo or change job or teleport bcoz your aggro list has party members' enemies.

Of course you could ride your chocobo or change jobs or teleport, etc. Those are based on whether you yourself have aggro. If it's only a party member and not yourself that has aggro, then they're the one who can't do those things (just as they can't now). This suggestion is purely about what information is displayed on your screen. The display of information has nothing to do with what your character can or cannot do.

It does bring up one point, though. The display would need to make it clear whether you have aggro or not. Perhaps mobs aggroing party members but not you would be shown in a distinct greyed out font or have an empty white icon in place of the green/yellow/orange/red aggro icons. But I do still think they should be displayed and targetable.

It is clear now and I would support this suggestion as well. ^^;

I'd just love not to be locked with every damn action. Talking to an NPC? Locked. Use a mount skill on daily mob? Locked. It's annoying.

Vendor specifications in map. Ok, this might have been requested already, still. We got the mini aetheryte names to map markers and that's rather grand. But could the vendor map ticks, instead of the "vendor" have the specification line each vendor has, like "tool trader" "kobolt vendor" "independent armorer", what have you, that second line under their person names.

Add "Undo/Redo" (Cntrl-Z) editing feature to supplement Cut/Copy & Paste. Undo is pretty ubiquitous these days, regardless what software you are using. Seems very awkward that it's not included.

Please add "Show only detrimental effects you inflict" option to Focus Target. :O

This really annoys me. Not sure if it's been suggested before but screenshot naming is really bad in FFXIV.

Currently screenshots go like this: "ffxiv_[Day][Month][Year]_[Hour][Minute][Second]"

What it should be: "ffxiv_[Year][Month][Day]_[Hour][Minute][Second]"

I don't know how it is with Japanese computers, but on English computers when files are sorted by name they go from left to right and numbers grouped together are counted as one. So lets compare dates and times. 3rd Jan 2015, 1st April 2015, 18th June 2015, 13th November 2016. Currently it will be sorted like below (Note the numbers go from smallest to biggest).

01042015 (April 1st 2015)
03012015 (3rd Jan 2015)
13112016 (13th Nov 2016)
18062015 (18th June 2015)

With my way it will be sorted

20150103 (3rd Jan 2015)
20150401 (1st April 2015)
20150618 (18th Jun 2015)
20161113 (13th Nov 2016)

If the sorting is different on Japanese computers, for English clients of FFXIV the screenshot naming should change to suit English computers.

Do note that my computer may be weird so if anyone else has the name sorting fine as it currently is please say so.

Another thing that I would love to see is being able to see quests on all zones and not just the zone that I'm currently in.

When leveling other classes sometimes you don't remember anymore what quests you left behind that you could actually go back and finish on this new class unless you actually travel everywhere trying to check if there is any available quests.

Being able to filter quests by level range on the recommendation screen and having the recommendation screen actually search on all zones for available quests would be just as good as well.
