Or just stick a repair NPC at the dungeon's entrance, like how GW2 did it

Very good point, thanks for bringing that up.

Disenchanted by the ease with which people recently cast out the Scions, you are swayed by the Garlean way of order and switch to their faction for a while.

Appreciated and recognized for what you are, you think you can work within this faction to bring an organised society free of Primal and Ascian threats.

How long it takes to go wrong however, is up to you.

Branching paths in the story would definitively help make the game feel more interactive. It might also help with the pvp elements in the game as well. That idea kind of reminds me a little bit of a couple of areas in a f2p game called Raiders. Pretty much you would be questing in a certain area and would have to pick sides on a certain issue or whatever and that would determine the pvp factors in certain parts of that particular map (of course you could change if you desired), although the quests were pretty much the exact same in what you had to do, it still made it feel like you had a little sense of choice. Its definitely something SE could look into exploring though. I know the 3 GC thing was pretty much to respect XI and how it did it but honestly XI just embraced PvE (which I was fine with) so maybe its just time to clean it up a little bit, or make pvp'ing more about choices similar to branching arcs like you mentioned and not about representing a branch forever.

thos are actualy called the padajal forgive the miss spelling of that they are humans with horns and a latent ability to communicate with natural forces but sadly there's only about 3 or 4 of them left that we know about in the lore of the game kann-e-senna is one of them there all white mages

Thanks for clarifying that for me. That might be an idea for a future expansion or something since you said that we know of. Or at least it would be an idea of what a new race could look like, just with more horns or something.

[QUOTE=Referring to an oni race, I could be mistaken but I do believe their is a race with horns in the game or at the very least there are 2 npcs for sure I know of that have small horns, which are the conjurer main quest npc (forgot his name) and the one that was added near the PotD entrance npc in Quarrymill. I'm not sure if the horns they have are like 'real' but I did notice them (even though they kind of just look like elezens with horns) but it would be nice to have an oni race none-the-less. Maybe more horns on their body and such.[/QUOTE]

Man, I wish this game brought back the old-school open world feel where the zones were dangerous, have secret or indoor areas and what's there to do is mostly open world content or rather something that involves being there. It'll make the world feel more alive but they'd have to make such big adjustments for it though so they'll definitely not bother with it. Oh well..

Anyway, I'd like to see airship explorations to become something you get in because of an objective instead of being there freestyle (but maybe an option for that, sure). There would be some sort of quest board where you accept quests and have to do the objective before time runs out, it could be gathering (or hunting) specific items or hunting down a really powerful monster (that's already in the area, not something that randomly spawns) and get rewards (tokens?) for completion and you can exchange those for neat stuff. Meanwhile you're in the area, you're free to gather or get mats from monsters, too. I think this way you can't be with other parties in the same zone so there's no competition.

I do like that SE added Palace of the Dead only in the fact that low levels can run them too. But I am thinking the future of MMOs are more in the direction of the sandbox style MMO. However just saying sandbox evokes open world pvp and a miserable time for players what is essentially a PVE game. But it doesn't have to be like that. Basically people are mistaken that it only means pvp and ganking. That style only state that you can pretty much do what you want. There are all kinds of ideas that could be explored to make this game quite exhilarating and allow many to experience something beyond the usual dungeon and gear grind. For FFXIV I see more of a hybrid. A lot of options could be implemented that would give a player many options to follow that gives them so much more exciting things to do, plus the MSQ and plus all of the different dungeons we have now.

Also as Dinnertime mentioned about Airships etc. Right now they are nothing but cutscenes. I was so much looking forward to actually flying a one for real. And I don't mean the airship mounts. There is so much more content that could be added in that area specially with the sandbox style MMO. Swimming and over the sea, or under it content. This game has so many possibilities to get it out of the current rut it is in. And all of this would be from level 1 on. I would like this game to give more content to lower level players so the feeling that we so badly need to run to level 50 is such a strong and needed thing in this rush rush everywhere world we live in.

An option for players to request repairs from other players, much like a request meld thing. Useful in cases of emergencies if gears break in dungeon and/or helping other players repair gear.

Tree of Savior's developer team implemented a cool idea into their game, where a certain class (Squire) can repair people's equipment beyond its maximum numbers. So if your gear averaged 50/50, an armorsmith or weaponsmith, who's at master level, could repair your gear to 65/50 or 90/50. It'd work wonders for people who constantly have to spend a lot of money for full repairs.

I think, if SE plans to add more Deep Dungeons, they could implement one that gives you a "madness" meter that slowly fills over the course of time. The more full your madness meter gets, the more likely your character starts to hallucinate. You'd actually see crazy stuff on your screen, and eventually would become unable to discern reality from fiction.

EDIT: Maybe a madness-inducing Deep Dungeon could be called something like "Realm of Mirrors", where you get to meet Ferdiad again. Because I don't think he dies when you kill him at the end of whatever Duty he's in.
