Things wanted for next expansion?

[Tsumdere]

Whew a doozy.

1. Better character customization AND Viera.
2. Removal of all gear restrictions except AF gear.
3. Ishgard housing.
4. Docile open world mobs. I am tired of literally everything wanting to kill you 100% of the time. Make some of them peaceful. Make some of them aggressive only in certain weathers.
5. Rancher DoL. Catch open world mobs and bring them back to a (probably) instanced area where you can raise them and get mob drops like leathers from them.
6. Remove certain cross-class skills from cross-class system and replace them with things that are actually highly more optional (Rampart/Esuna/Swiftcast/etc).
7. Hunt syncing.
8. Beastiary.

Something new to spend grand company seals on. I've got something like 2000 ventures because I had to do something with it.

Maybe unlock some of those higher ranks, too.

• Upgrade of the bad coding and servers
• More content at launch
• A new healer and tank, no dps until perhaps 6.0
The battle system, well i highly doubt they will do anything to significant if at all

I want a cute furry race ala Ivalice Moogles or Hummingways. But I know we're just going to get another human with animal ears with the Viera...

I'd have thought Ivalice moogles would be a good candidate for a beast-like playable race. Not only are they cute and similar in anatomy and proportion to the existing race, it'd be fitting for a game based on Final Fantasy fanservice to have the series staple as a race. They've since been deconfirmed so that's been thrown out of the window.

Unless we get something like Hummingways or Burmecians out of the blue I'm just resigned to the fact that the devs are just going to stick random animal ears on a human and call it a new race.

Make the open world actually feeling dangerous with thing a to discover. Can I please have a world log where if I go to a certain place I can read about it's more, please?

Make more enemies other than bosses have the ability to cast debuffs and other status ailments. And don't make them cast them in a predictable manner where I can literally turn my brain off and still stun them with just muscle memory alone.

Events with a variety of unlockable rewards other than furniture. Hairstyles, face paint, glamour gear, unique dyes, minions, etc. I can't stand just getting furniture for events only. I like them still, but they just feel a bit lack luster and hollow since it'd be the only things we get...

Actual new playable events in Gold Saucer.

Underwater treasure hunting.

I can't understand why so many people want a new tank or healer when they can barely handle the 3 they have.
It was so bad they didn't make any just to focus on balance, and they STILL couldn't get it right.

Not to mention how lacking in identity they are. AST is a WHM with cards and no Cure III while DRK is a weird cross between WAR and PLD but doesn't excel in any way. I'm just going to be mad if a new healer comes in and it's a WHM but with some other gimmick again.

What you don't understand is gameplay style and how it appeals on people.
I didn't like WAR and PLD very much but I'm playing DRK simply because I like it better than the rest.
AST also feels better than WHM and SCH for me.
You should be mad on adding more DPS when we have already that many.
I mean what else can they add except another DRG like SAM with something pointy and sharp or another BRD who can't sing and ends up being just boring like MCH?
The answer is style. They will keep adding jobs and this time Tanks and Helaers should have their additions.

They can't handle the 9 DPS they have either, yet I don't see the "no tank/healer pls!" saying they don't want new DPS before they are balanced.

It was so bad they didn't make any just to focus on balance, and they STILL couldn't get it right.

I'm sorry, but that was an excuse. If they really focused on balance then they absolutely suck. For someone that can make the new jobs and play them for months in advance before release, they didn't notice basic balance issues that players found within days of them being released. They probably just decided to rework some classes and tested whether they worked, ignoring the balance tests whatsoever.

We're asking about NEW tanks and healers. It is Square Enix's fault for the current ones to lack any real identity in their gameplay. That's because instead of thinking of new ways, they copy half the skills then fill in the blanks. As a result they are much more similar to each other than DPS into which they put more thought and effort.


That being said, players want a new tank and healer because three of each is just not a lot. Especially when they are largely so similar in skills possesses. Even if only half of them will be "new", it's still a breath of fresh air for the tanks and healers. And there is ZERO reason not to do that, especially when they don't seem to mind filling in the DPS roster despite its severe balance issues.

Would love to see a new gunslinger job, one that uses 2 handguns just like Dante uses. 4 or 5 new skills for every job. Dark knight complete rework overall. Also a huge improvement on character creation with tons of new options, meaning new hairstyles, new faces, new body type and maybe new races for people to choose. Also way more end game content.
