[Vent] What you guys think should change on ARR?

[Bright-Flower]

The lore reason was always flimsy. Not every Highlander NPC is even from Ala Mhigo, nor do they care for it - and the women don't make use of the same practice, so there's a major double standard.

Also, Ala Mhigo is kinda sorta free now too, giving reason for many who DID do it to stop.

I wonder if it's really more just they had trouble designing good eyebrows for them and said 'screw it throw in a flimsy lore reason for it that will be forced upon the entire population of male highlanders, but not the female ones they still need to be pretty.'

Well the big one would be shortening the after story MSQ.

While it was important back in the day when they were trying to prop up ARR so it didn't become a 1.0 incident. They probably added a bit much to the ending content after the original MSQ. Now the game is successful enough they don't need that kind of buffer and there's been 3 expansions.

MSQ-wise, streamlining some of the quests (especially 2.1 to 2.3/4). Try to show more of what Minfilia actually does when we are not around, so that she does not appear so useless.
Make Castrum Meridianum and Praetorium solo instances.
Add an aetherite in Vesper Bay, not Horizon. (And YES I know you can get to Vesper Bay from Limsa.)
Beast tribes did take a lot of time now that I think about it.

Delete Tataru and swap her with Moenbryda.

What should be changed in ARR content? ALOT, theres so much stuff that needs improvements:

1 Rework the outdated town maps and ARR maps to be all alot bigger in size n 3D like all maps from HW on making it possible to use mounts in them and fly in those maps

2: Rework and redesign the summoner and scholar to become finally two complete independent jobs with own different classes and summoners using warhorns instead of books, only scholars use books then

3: add more faces, tribe options ect to the character editor, for example a micote tribe that is looking much wilder n ferocious than the others, less human, more cat with fur on arms, legs, feet and much more claw like hands with long sharp nails, alot more tail options n ear options

Just 3 examples, could come up with aloz more, but typing with smartphone is exhaustive xD

With SCH and SMN no longer having the connection that is ACN, what sort of changes to adapt the two do you suggest? ACN would have to be changed from a DPS to a Healer in order to stay lined up with SCH while a new starter class would have to be added for SMN so players aren't instantly getting thrust into a Job the second they start the game.

That's not necessary. It would be a simple matter to have ACN upgrade into SMN only, and have SCH be a separate job that is unlockable at ACN30 but not an ACN. It would be mechanically no different from leveling any class to 50 and unlocking DRK30 MCH30 AST30.

Yeah, SCH would be easy to split off into its own thing, and just give anyone that has arcanist levels above 30 when the change hits get those level in SCH too so nobody has to relevel, and it would work. And hey maybe they can take that chance to give SMN a worthwhile physick. (Why not, we have clemency and vercure in the game.) Or replace it with something else.

The SMN/SCH fit always felt al ittle odd to me. Gameplay wise, SMN feels more natural of course because it stays as dps and doesn't have the sudden shift toward healing. Story wise though, the Nymian Marines and the focus on strategy etc always felt like a more natural extension of the arcanist storyline than SMN did.

I was sort of going off of their line of thought that SMN and SCH would have separate weapons.

That's still solved by making SCH a classless job, though.

I would LOVE to have new maps, made to get the needed for swimming and flying, and making the maps more enjoyable and useful
