Playable beasts, PVP, Beast form, instruments

Hello, I was thinking could we maybe get something like what we had in FFXI? Where players could become beasts or monsters and fight other beasts and or other players. I thought it was fun and something really different. Players could have a toggle option for when they enter a zone to allow attacks or ignore them all together. And like FFXI, we start from the bottom and work our way up to stronger beasts. Maybe have some sort of exp, loot (furs, skin, bone) from whatever beast you happen to be if you get defeated, and have beast exp & some small amount of loot if you defeat the human player? Some will not like this idea, but some might. It would be something new and something more to play through. Along with that, wish we could get some sort of instrument or musical item we could play, learn new songs and such. Again just something to do and something new for everyone to try out. Plus a "sleep" anywhere emote would be nice.

Oooooh, also I mean if SE is worried about people misusing the "sleep anywhere" emote, those jokers can find something we have now and make it "dirty". Why spoil it for the rest of us? Plus, new race? Yes please, Viera!!!! And maybe a second beast race for people wanting a tough, scary looking race. I'm also 100% sure that we could use more character options for what we have now, and that alot of others wants more options as well. Tattoos, more hair, scars, weight, muscle and butt-sliders. I hope we get most of our wish list here. Just keep telling SE that we would love to see these things. They'll listen. Senpai notice us!

They already dabbled with looking into Viera as a possible race. Just go to google images and type 'ffxiv viera concept art'.

Also you're suggesting like 10+ things here, with them not all that thought out...? You have a better chance of something getting really noticed if it isn't just crammed in with a bunch of other ideas.

Well I guess its a bit much, but all the character option stuff, tattoos, scars, ect is all under, "more options", so shouldn't be counted individually. Races, instruments, more character options, playable fiends, and emotes. I think thats five topics, not 10+. I thought they was thought out in a simple manner.

Focusing on the Playable Beasts thing...

Monstrosity was something I wish had been added to FFXI earlier in the game's lifespan, when I had more free time to invest in it. It really was pretty fun, transforming into a monster and going out into the field to beat up other monsters, level up, earn the right to transform into more powerful monsters, and so on and so forth. By the time it was added, though, I was already feeling a lot of strain trying to keep up with all the things to do in-game.

If they were to add something similar to this game with an accelerated leveling system (similar to the one in Palace of the Dead), it might make for a fun sidegame activity.
