Things wanted for next expansion?

I reckon the lack of abilities early game and the heavy gating probably cost FFXIV more players than the 2.5s GCD.

Really no need for half of our kit to be placed in the last 20 levels.

How bout a ship (sea) that would serve as housing, and travel/exploration. Help solve housing shortages. Would be cool for some adventures.

I'd like them to make the Hyur male undercut ponytail available for Miqo'te males.

I don't see what's wrong with faster combat and it's a common complaint from people who have played ffxiv and stopped playing it because of this fact(...)

Because there are countless fast-paced MMO's out there and extremely few slower paced. And FFXIV is a good one to be slower paced seeing as Final Fantasy series is known for ATB bars, among others. You know...a slow-paced turn-based style of game.

In other words...don't try to turn this into an entirely new game. If you want a fast-paced MMO in Final Fantasy universe, then ask for Final Fantasy XVI to be a fast-paced MMO game.

People to stop asking for faster paced combat.

Seriously, if you want faster paced combat you have the option of playing not only nearly every other MMO currently running, but also most other games in general.

I've asked for a single job with faster paced combat before. This shouldn't affect those who like slower combat since they can just play every other job currently available.

A new healer and a new tank.

This is what I'm hoping for assuming they aren't copy paste. Give the new tank a different base rotation than 1-2-3 and the healer some melee attacks and new healing mechanics.

I would also like combat while swimming and flying, and dungeons where you fight bosses in the air (in a vehicle if needed).

That's a different request to OP's, and I personally have problem with it. A much faster paced job could be a lot of fun, just don't go poking the rest of the game

BRD and MNK are pretty intense at LvL 70. As BRD, I rarely have the time to click everything I need to click within a single GCD, most of my decision making is what to click and what to wait until the next GCD for.


Lowering the GCD would mess with the game's engine and mechanics and would require some pretty hefty overhaul's in the way the game functions and balances overall. Since everything is designed based on a 2.5 GCD as it's launching point, I doubt we see a reduction in the GCD outside of a new game all together.

On topic: I want to get back to the endgame of 2.x where every Raid we cleared and every Primal we killed felt like saving the world. The weight of killing Bahamut before he came back and destroyed everything again was intense, and the threats the 2.x Primals posed to peace vs. war in the realm felt real. Give us some storytelling in the end-game that is more than, this dude wants to play games with us and we oblige, cause reasons.

A new healer and a new tank.

[NolLacnala]

A new healer and a new tank.

Provided they actually balance the current tanks first of course

DPS job balance is much worse than tank (or healer) balance. How about no more DPS until that's sorted...
