Make FFXIV More Alt-Friendly... Please??????

[Toutatis]

Redoing MSQ is fine with me and there is the possibility to buy a story skip anyway. I am currently redoing MSQ and all side content in order slowly on an alt just for the fun of it. The unending journey would not be compatible with that.

For the story skip which I bought on an alt, I would nevertheless prefer if it came with completed basic utility quests such as chocobo inventory and battle, retainers, aesthetician and glamours. It would also be nice to have the possibility of unlocking raids and extremes by just talking to an npc after buying the skip. Unlocking all that group side content takes a lot of time. It’s kind of annoying to have only CT unlocked when you buy a story skip that puts you at the beginning of EW. Some achievements could also be shared (like mine/harvest x zillion times).

Being able to share a house with alts and use mail would be great. There is no reason not to as it is already possible to share an fc house and send items and gils via an fc chest. It could also reduce the demand on housing.

they wont implementing skip msq for alt char because they want you to buy skip msq in mogstation store

[Atelier-Bagur]

eh if you already have one character do the msq I think they should allow you to skip it if you decide on making an alt. Although its very obvious they wouldnt do that since they sell msq skip books at mogstation. However I would at least get them to make more alt friendly features such as being able to mail to your alts

I don't mind doing the msq again on an alt, because it's honestly the reason I create alts in the first place, wanting to experience the story fresh with a new character. But certain things would be nice to have account wide. Like full access to the calamity salvager and event items you unlocked, achievement rewards, shared housing.

Basically anything I have to grind excessively for, I do not wanna do again. Or getting event items that are impossible to get again and can only be obtained through the mogstation.

I have a few alts I'm slogging through MSQ. I didn't care for MSQ on my main, and I still don't care for it now, but with my main being all 90s, it gives me something to do.

I refuse to buy skips because they are too expensive for what they are and for how many alts I have, as well as the fact that you'd still have to play through EW even after you bought one.

The QoL thing I want in regards to alts is the ability to transfer your character and HUD settings to them. I know you're able to do it on PC in an unintended way, but there's no way to do it on PS. Let us import our HUD settings on our alts through an in-game feature, dammit.

I only see alts only for:

- Playing in a different region that DC travel can't reach with your main.
- If you are a raider and need to funnel more time gated gear to your static by using a alt.
- Replaying the MSQ because New game+ just doesn't feel the same.
- If someone really doesn't want to talk to their friends but wants to play the game.

I have a alt on Materia to help a friend with queue times and story progression, and a alt to replay the story. I only log on when they need help, or if I want to spend time with the story.

Just keep in mind, (No one wants to hear this.) SE has services like character transfers, fantasias, name changers, and even story skip services to cater to these needs. Only difference is that it costs real life money for these. If you don't wanna spend extra money; you have to do the work yourself. I don't think its logical for a business to axe their services because of demands like these.

I would love if they implement the system WoW has. I love this game, but very alt unfriendly. I don't want to unlock all the jobs on 1 character.
