[DEVS] Wishlist for 2016

[trigun43207]

I say tattoos that can be glamour to the accessories slots depending on where you want them... make it a company reward, veteran reward, sale it in the mog station whatever.

Increased Grand Company Rank
It's about time, I'd say.

An improvement to spiritbonding
Right now there is no reason to spiritbond. There is not a single materia you can get via spiritbonding that you can't get much easier in other ways. Either dramatically decrease spiritbond time, make some materia only available via spiritbonding or - and this is my preference - let us choose which materia we get when a spiritbond is complete.

Do something about elemental materia
Seriously. Either make it useful or get rid of it entirely.

Create more interesting weapons
Ones that compliment skills, or add effects, stuff like that. Remember poisoning an enemy with your weapon? That should still be a thing, really.

Give people more incentive to do more things
Triple Triad Tournament is a fix and chocobo racing is an insane timesink for pretty much zero reward. Why not make these things considerably more worth doing? Personally I feel the MGP payout for chocobo racing needs to be made notably higher than what it is right now, and I think once that happens, we'll see a lot more people who are willing to actually participate.

Housing
Housing. I mean, it's a joke, let's face it, how limited the housing is. Housing should be at a fixed price and always available. The fact people buy to sell is ridiculous and this needs to stop, it's not their fault though - it's SE's. Thankfully they know this and are working on it, and I hope we see dramatic improvements in 2016.

Actual Airship Content
I mean like... making use of an airship outside of ventures or unlocking an area. Actually being on the airship. That kind of thing. That'd be neat.

Another city.
It annoys me a little that we only got one new city in the expansion. It shouldn't, really, because it was a great expansion, I've enjoyed it immensely. But Ishgard is a city I've been hearing about being unlocked someday since launch, so it felt like we should have got something a little more. I'd love to see a new city.

More happy adventure music
And with multiple changes in melody. I love how FFXII zones had a long piece that changed as it went. I tire of the XIV music after a while because it doesn't seem to vary itself. I do appreciate it overall, but I think the game could use something similar to the music we hear in Rabanastre or East Dalmasca Desert. That kind of exciting, uplifting music that changes as it goes. Gets the spirit going when the music isn't too repetitive. And as a person who lives in Scotland: No more bagpipes please! >_>; They aren't suited to regular listening.

Explore the differences between the races
Seriously, how are there five races in this game and yet there is so little noteworthy detail about each of them? I never realised how much I appreciated the racism of my poor galka in FFXI until I felt the lack of identity in the lore found in FFXIV. There should be a lot more stuff relating to the background of each race, so we can feel truly immersed. Oh, and have some NPCs joke about our relative height or something. Little things like this really do help people feel like the game is paying attention to them.

More race-specific dances
I love these. I love seeing all the different dances that each race can do, it interests me to no end. I'd love if we got /dance2 and /dance3 someday! Keep the universal dances too, obviously, but please add more race-specific dances that suit the race/gender's culture.

Bring Back Tanking
DPStanking is good, but it shouldn't be the only way. I'm excited for 3.2 as I'm hoping it'll encourage people to take VIT and Parry seriously again. Here's hoping you'll make both of these genuinely useful, and also that we'll see more interesting and viable tanking styles in the long run other than what we have now. I want to feel like a real tank again.

More things for FCs to work towards
FC crafting was amazing for our FC, we had dozens of people wanting to help create our airships. Bring us more long term goals for FCs, both small and large alike.

Minions that buff DoL/DoH
I think this would be neat!

Allow free party-teleport to housing areas.
I agree with tobyz989 on this one!

[Hakuro89]

I like the pose idea. The male pose for drk looks a lot cooler.

[PuppytimusLeoroccanz]

Fishing tackle tool box to store all your fishing tackles (or at least the lures if we can't squeeze in all the baits!)

[Violyre]

More Hildebrant! I know we got the one guy from that questline in the new one for the cathedral, but come on!

I'd love to see the addition of an option for advanced chat log filters. Allow tells from friends/LS/FC or people you pre-approve (which I guess could also be considered friend list) only.

Wishlist for 2016: 4.0 with horizontal progression

[Iagainsti]

Can I please, either make me craft it or spend mgp on it, get a Moogle Claw game for the FC house so I can time sink myself there instead of the GS while waiting for my raid party to get their sh**t together.

A log book for the FC House where we can post max 200 char posts time stamped for other members to see. The topic box is just not enough.

[Matrinka]

I'd love to see more of Edda's story. Tam Tara HM has one of the best stories in the game.

[Bourne_Endeavor]

1. Option to dye only partial sections of clothing/armour
2. A savage equivalent for some of the primes to appease the hardcore raiders, yet not necessitate too much development time.
3. Better raid utility for Monk (Boost to Mantra perhaps? Make One Ilm Punch and/or Haymaker actually useful)
4. Let me buy the Southern Sea Swinsuit. I want it. ;;

[Iagainsti]
