What features from other games would you enjoy in FFXIV?

So a bunch of Excel bean-counters can turn that into an endgamer s#!tshow? No thanks.

You realize the same already applies as soon as you have more than one job of each type, if not for limit gauge gimmicks, and as soon as you have more than 2 each within the categories Ranged, Melee, Tanks, and Healers, right?

So a particular way of playing x class is discouraged in serious endgame content? That's a fair bit better than having an entire class pushed out of the cutting edge progression scene...

I want subclasses or specs that could even change job archetype. Like tanking dodge monk, DPS drk, healer pld and even healer machinist (I loved mercenary in swtor)

That would bring more playstyles and variety to the jobs.

This is something that could have been a possibility if they'd stayed with the class > jobstone system from 2.0 by forking each base class like they did with Arcanist. However they decided to move away from that system starting on heavensward.

I think it can be done by some other way when they get rid of this system completely.

A persisted pvp map, a real map , where three factions fight for control. Be they grand companies or some other factions.
Something like in Lord of the Rings online, not exactly like that , something along those lines.

GW2 Dyeing system

Yeah, I'd love it if they let us color individual parts of our armor pieces.

Also, make it so that once you've bound an armor piece or weapon to your character, you can use it as a glamour without actually having that item in your inventory. I'm sick of having all those armor sets in my retainer, just in case I someday feel like using it as a glamour.

And it'd be cool to have a duel system that let's you fight anyone anywhere, not just in the PvP map. You'd challenge people to a duel the same way you challenge them to Triple Triad.

character Options from Conan, Character sliders from Blade & Soul, Have option picking your under armor like tera has and have glamour unlock box like Guild Wars 2 has.

I do not believe FF14 needs any features from any games. There are improvements to be made, sure, but it does not warrant copying other games. That is honestly unprofessional to do deliberately.

Only, XIV literally did this as they were working on 2.0. They even admitted to visiting Blizzard and other places to check out how their games played and then took what they liked and put their own spin on it. Hence stuff like the F.A.T.E. system and etc. WoW, Rift, GW2, and I believe Tera all have similar systems. They're just content that's been improved upon or slightly changed.
