What do you like and dislike most in FFXIV?

[Bourne_Endeavor]

The music is amazing too
However, even though I have the music set to loop, there is a significantly long silence between the ends and beginnings of the world music. Please make it loop seamlessly forever... or shorten the silence. Also no night time world music :*( Gathering at night gets pretty boring.

If you listen to it on Youtube and have Chrome, you can grab this extension that lets you set specific time stamps for when to restart a song.

For god's sake, please up the drop rate on the hidden clusters in the mining/botany ixal dailies. I usually well out-gather the normal items required and am stuck mining shards until a cluster finally re-appears. If I want shards, I send my retainers out for them! It also really extends the daily longer than it needs to be. I have other things I want to do, and with limited time, I pretty much only do dailies these days.

You don't need to gather shards. A new node spawns the moment you check another one. So just run up, click to begin gathering and if you don't see the unique Ixal mat, click out and run to another one that spawned.

Dislikes:
4. The maps aren't dangerous. When I was going to Sohm Al I though that I would have to be carefull and have some strategy but no, I didn't.

I so agree with this. There isn't really much of a sense of danger while adventuring.

The bot/gil seller spam is by far my biggest dislike for the game especially since there is no right click report button also the people messaging are level 1. Maybe limit messaging until higher levels because having to turn on /busy causes problems with invites, ready check, and friends trying to whisper.

I love doing things with friends and the story, i hate having to do the story again to play with alts and the jobs game play satisfaction.

Like:
- Fashion Fantasy. Really, it's a selling point.
- Clarity of progression. I like it when it's obvious whether an item is better or not.
- The world. It's a nice universe and pwetty to boot.
- Token systems.
- Content diversity. I don't like gathering or the gold saucer, but I'm glad it's an option.

Dislike:
- RNG in all its forms. Long-standing hate, not just in this game but everywhere.
- Invisible walls. If I want to jump down into certain death in the abyss, I should be able to.
- Inventory bloat. From glamour prisms to turn-in items - it can be cut down.
- Dungeon gates. Speedruns are fun, y'know?
- Too blatant hallway design of dungeons. Yes, it's going to be played as a hallway, but it shouldn't "feel" like one. Castrum Meridianum IMO is great.

Some of my best experiences in FFXIV are when groups are bad in Weeping City - I have to really think and plan carefully about my CD and MP usage, and pretty much never have time to DPS in the later parts of the boss fights because I'm too busy saving lives.

That's why I run these contents several times on day one, to get that feelin ;-;

[Yoshiyuki]

Like -
Astrologian's support abilities and aesthetics
Ease of leveling all jobs on one character
Music
Environments
Story
Glamour/mounts/minions variety
Fun English localization
The devs really care about the game/community
I enjoy being a mentor despite the system's flaws

Dislike -
No dedicated support role
Savage raids + Alexander in general
Combat jobs are homogenized for the sake of balance
Scripted battles and linear dungeon design
Tired currency and weekly lockouts
Red/blue scrips turned crafting/gathering endgame into tomes for DoL/DoH
Can't optimally gear more than one job/role at a time
Game feels like a glorified chat room because of DF
No reason to go out in the world except for FATEs
FATEs
Not enough midcore content/raids
Cash shop with exclusive items on top of a monthly sub
No Spanish client (yet?)

[Niqote]

Like:
The many Primals fights.
The abundance of Equipment styles.
The Music.
Random NPC storyline progression.
Dungeons linked to storyline such as Sohm Al.
The sound of Dragonspeak.

Dislike:
The lack of Character customization.
The Housing ward/plots system grouping fc and private.
The Housing system has no upgrade-able features.
Cash shop is too expensive
