Changes I want to see in 5.0: Opinion post!

[Sassiest]

With all the buzz about the next patch and expansion, I got to thinking about some things I would love to have in game. Here are my thoughts and I would love for others to join the discussion and add yours!

- In game calendar for planning group activities with your FC or LS

- Achievements for FC’s to work towards (mounts, maybe the availability of mounting in main cities or a way to gain a speed boost); provide more incentive to be in an FC besides just buffs (maybe FC currency (what’s one more going to hurt?) attained through group events I.e. have 5/8 FC players in a trial? Those players earn FC currency or exp bonus) that can be traddd to vendors or an individual FC NPC. Maybe even just allow us to use it for the airship. Or update the features on airships, unlock more raids, etc. but I feel my previous ideas would be more easily implemented....idk just ideas here, anyone else have any good ones for this?

- Cut some of the post expansion MSQ. I realize these were good filler for players waiting for the next expansion, but does the warrior of light really need to be doing random chores in game for every NPC? Just trim the fat

- Make the game a bit more accessible for installation; not sure how to do this but having two platforms through SE and Steam has turned a few new players off due to the confusion of which is which or if one is better than the other...is there a way to link with steam from the SE site?

- I know there is a macro for this, but maybe give us an in game way to make sound effects for things we need our raid teams to pay attention to. Like Deadly Boss Mods in wow, but this is just a fluff that I could live with out without personally. But I know others may like it.

- Let us have more tabs in the FC bank. And add the FC bank inventory to the list when searching for an item....also give us the ability to sort the bank.

- Undercutting: I know this is controversial and allowing players to change prices whenever they want is more in line with reality of the world, but I think putting a limit on when you can change the price of an item after posting it may solve the undercutting issue.

- Cut down or merge some of the abilities on classes like astrologian. Pretty self explanatory; there are only so many hot bars in the game

- Provide a glamour chest for housing (I hear this is already in work) and while we are on the subject, let us log out in out private rooms or housing. Also maybe give us a way to track which glamours we have in game out of all the ones in game...like a glamour log. Don’t want that to be the bulk of this post though. I could live without this one if any of the others were implemented.

Please note these are just my opinions and ideas. I would love to hear everyone else’s ideas for what they want to see in 5.0!

More tools and features for FCs would be super welcome. I really like the idea of an in game calendar for FC events, maybe even with a member sign up option! Increased FC ranks with more chest slots opened up as we progress, as well as the ability to stockpile more than 10 company actions. Maybe have a company action "schedule" of sorts, that automatically removes and applies FC buffs at specific times/days if you have them available.

While we're at it, be able to spend FC credits directly from the FC window, it's a chore having to go to a GC all the time for airship fuel and buffs.

Level sync on A and S rank hunt marks

Ability to share personal estates between alts of the same service account on the same server

Blacklist making sure you don't queue up with a person

[Aomine1992]

Hopefully first they change the games end game formula or a lot of this stuff will be obsolete without players to actually be playing. But nevertheless all good ideas.

Demon wall in Amdapor looks lonely. Give him his bee friends back.

Yes please!

This would probably be a good idea. Maybe turn some of the fat into sidequests instead?

Provide a glamour chest for housing (I hear this is already in work) and while we are on the subject, let us log out in out private rooms or housing. Also maybe give us a way to track which glamours we have in game out of all the ones in game...like a glamour log. Don’t want that to be the bulk of this post though. I could live without this one if any of the others were implemented.

I also hear this is in the works, but I'll be excited when it comes out.

Blacklist making sure you don't queue up with a person

I thought this was already a thing. If it's not, it needs to be. Sometimes you get that one person that you really never want to see again ever, even if it means waiting longer for a queue.

Adding my own:
- Allow us to utilize items in retainers when crafting as if they were in our own inventory.

Foot prints for high rank hunts (B, A, S)

• Make it so high rank marks leave foot prints around the map letting you know they are in the area. Each grade varying in different sizes from smallest to largest. It's super annoying flying around some of the maps for a long time looking for a mark that doesn't have a unique appearance.

Remove the damn glamour restrictions and more original gear/less recolors.

Updated character creation

• The character creation menu hasn't been updated since ARR. No new faces, eye styles, skin colors (other than the Au Ra) etc. There was a thread listed a few days ago saying how there is no option to hear battle voices which would be greatly appreciated if it were included.

More Space for Retainers/Better inventory management options.

• It's super difficult managing the retainer inventory especially as you prgress through the game collecting gear and items. It would be nice to have a sort feature that catagorizes all items according to job/class instead of just grouping items/gear by type.

An actual "Weapon Creation" system for Relic Weapon

• SE is already stepping in the right direction letting us assign our own stats but what if they went a step foward and let us create the look of the weapon as well. The hilt, the blade, little accessories/accents...even the glow color. I think it'd make more people inclined to actually work for it. (as long as the means to acquire it is fun as well. Please no more Eureka.)

[Ayer2015]

-Changes to gear progression for each 6-8 month ilv cap window (ie, left side increases in even numbered patches and right side in odd). the power progression feels really bad currently.
-Make materia more impactful and significantly more difficult to obtain.
-1.0 class removal & and updating of job actions. More than 24 skills is skill bloat.... streamline basic rotation actions and make situational actions more impactful. .....Redundancy is bad.

-a higher item limit for outdoor housing furnishings.

[Shougun]

Instanced airship "housing", with very high end very expensive goals for FCs to work towards while still catering to the casual solo player and casual FC (Garlean dreadnought vs deck + cabin).

We've been inside and seen many airships now, so in terms of how they may look that's sort of begun already.

I really want to see instanced, highly customize-able, housing - if I had to say one of the worst things about FF.. it'd be housing >.<.

Most other games that have it do it better (except visually imo lol, of course FF does visuals well).

[Maero]

• Better FC tools and changes to airship so that FC could actually ride in.
• Will never ever happen but changes to the loot and horrid RNG system
• Make Relics great again, some that we could progress without the need for aid of others basically. (So back to ARR or HW days)
I have other stuff but i am sure others will chime in
