Hi to all!
I thought about some things that Square Enix has released in the official web site (finalfantasyxiv.com not lodestone) but never released in the game.
These things I believe would improve the atmosphere of the game.
Now i will make a list of these things and also i add some ideas that I had:
- The official website speaks of the Codex, a kind of bestiary that is a faithful guide for adventurers of Eorzea.
In the game I have never seen a dialogue that talks about this codex, there isn't also a bestiary where you can see the monsters encountered and killed.
I think it's nice to have a list of monsters encountered, maybe add an achievement for the bestiary and unlock pages to the mob's description like rewards for repeatedly killing the same mob (like in Final Fantasy XII).
-The official website talks about a very important adventurer who drew for the first time the complete map of Eorzea.
in this game I didn't hear anything about this story (or only rarely), it might be interesting to know more about this adventurer and do missions that unlock the maps to buy (and so approach to Final Fantasy XI).
-The site also talks of many past ages in Eorzea, the game does not clearly explain these ages.
- Eorzea should be uncharted territory where anything could surprise you.
Currently it seems not only static but also a dead land but in the end with the 2.0 patch will change, I think.
- With the advent of patch 2.0 could change the system of guildleves.
I like to think guildleves in large numbers (almost like a trading card game) where the free companies, may possess different leves that give access to different places and dungeons inaccessible without them.
The rarest leves (only a few companies possess) have as a reward drop to 100%, these leves are also exchangeable between leaders of companies. (Nice order them for rarity: common, uncommon, rare, very rare, ultra rare)
- Add a trading card game like tetra master (FF8 & FF9)
- Add a wanted system, which is different from faction leves (I don't like faction leves).
The system of Final Fantasy XII would be perfect:
look at the bulletin board, you accept the task, go to the client, kill the wanted (including the cutscenes), you get the reward and unlock stronger monsters in the bulletin board.
- instead to answer one of poll questions, rather than enter races similar to those of Korean mmorpg, I recommend adding classes like banga or seeq, which would be nice to see how players and NPCs in the cities of Eorzea.
Discuss please. ^^
