    Have the devs ever implemented any of the gameplay/role ideas from here?

    I know they've implemented things like mount/minion requests and 99 tokens per bird/wolf, but I wondered if they've ever used any of the class/job/role ideas submitted here or elsewhere on the forums (even on JP forums), or if they pretty much have an idea of how they want a job to play and keep it in-house without any sort of community guidance or suggestions?

    I get that suggestions would be all over the map because everyone has their preferred ideas for how things would or should work, but how cool would it be if someone wrote up an idea on "How Red Mage should play" - and actually see something like it in-game? I also realize they can't outright acknowledge it too for legal reasons, but how neat would it be to see something like the black/white mana for red mage and think to yourself, "Hey, I suggested that way back when!"

    "We want Ishgard housing!" -- OK! ✅
    "We want Viera!" -- OK! ✅
    "We want Cloud's motorcycle!" -- OK! ✅
    "We want Blue Mage!"-- OK! ✅
    "We want the ability to earn past Feast rewards!" - HAHA no that's sacred.

    Only real thing they've implemented are the costume design stuff.


    You have to be on the JP side if you want them to listen to you, and even then it's a big gamble.

    All of the treads of 'this is how blue mage can work' and similar ones on the EU forums are just wasted time, which is a bit sad because some people do come up with some nice ideas and skills and all that.



    We (EU / US) are the dirt pile and only thing we're good for is sending our money.

    Letter from the Producer LIVE Part IX Q&A Summary (10/30/2013)
    Q: Will there be any maintenance fees or other costs for housing, besides the cost of the land and house?
    A: In older MMOs, such as Ultima Online, there was a house maintenance fee you had to pay weekly, but in FFXIV: ARR we decided against this system. Similarly, these older MMOs also had a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription, but this is a thing of the past and we won't have any system like that.

    Yes, they have. I can't speak for all but some examples:

    Desiring more AOE for quick dungeon runs, SCH got miasma 2 soon after the expac launch. WHM has some drastic changes to lillies (still garbage but hey, at least they tried). AST recently had its cast times reduced to reduce clipping and make the job's abilities flow better.

    SE has said that the DRK changes were pretty much bandaids and it would take an expac to change it on the fundamental level that most players want, but that pretty much confirms DRK is getting a 5.0 rework. BRD as a mage was pretty much completely reverted after overwhelming negative feedback, but that too took until 4.0.
