What do you like and dislike most in FFXIV?

[Laerune]

Like:

- Classes, we have alot of them and we can play them all on one character.
- Music, when it comes to soundtrack, this game is the best. FFXIV is the only mmorpg where I have bought a soundtrack.
- Graphics, but there are alot of texture issues, that they realy need to sort out.
- Story is fun, probably one of the best storylines in a mmorpg (SWTOR and TESO are only one that are better)
- NPC remember the WoL, which makes the world feel alive.

Dislike:

- Game is too instanced, we should get more open-world dungeons and less stuff via the Duty Finder.
- The playable races look too similiar, the females are cute and anime schoolgirlish and the males are taller and strong, only two races look unique compared to the rest, which is a shame.
- Game is stuck in a status quo.
- PvP is a mess, the queue itself is around 40-80 minutes, which is ridiculous, when you find out that a match only takes 10-15 minutes.
- Game is suffering from memory issue, which makes it so we can not get a inventory upgrade or alot of plots of houses, which inturn makes it so people can not get a house.
- Recent added features like: Deep Dungeon, Lord of Vermillion and Diadem, became boring very fast and feels like a waste of development time.

What I want:

- Remove the PvP GC requirement and make it so PvP is more about players vs players and not players vs nodes.
- More focus on the open-world and less focus on instanced stuff.
- Unique looking races, think of beastmen type, android, zombies etc, anything but another cute female hyur + X or Y and a tall muscler male.
- Be more open with your community, just look at the EU promotion thread, aside from 1 reply at the start about something nobody was asking about, there has been no response from SE. The rest of the EU and AUS are still waiting for their events and it has been almost two whole months. Enough with the silent treatment.
- Discuss more with your players (with players, I mean all of them and not the Japanese ones only), ask the players what they want to see being added to the game and when you have ideas for new content, share them with us, so we can provide some feedback.
- Feedback, Feedback and more Feedback. The ingame polls from the BETA should return and be added every few months after a major patch. The players complained alot about stuff like ATMA RNG stuff, yet they already brought it back twice since we have complained about. Mandatory ingame polls, will makes give you feedback and inturn, SE will have information to work with. So SE, ask for those feedbacks, because we have them and are more then willling to give it you.
