    Old beast tribes leave much to be desired, especially ARR. Compare the ixali to namazu... Ixali is such a massive PITA in comparison, asking you to have specific buffs, equip specific gear, go to different maps and they just mix in gathering at random when it should really be based on current class. Namazu just asks you to go there and do the thing. Even when they add flight to ARR, while it will help with some, the sylphs have a few quests that are going to be an epic drag. Maybe they could get a level scale added to them and a bit of clean up in general.

    Don't touch the writing since IMO ARR has a few of the more compelling beast tribes stories. Really enjoyed the ixali and sahagin in particular.

    It's called PvP now. You can queue up for it. The rewards I want are glamour items. I don't think it should be a gateway for Best Weapons in PvE.

    They also tried something like that for PvE with "islands in the sky" (aka Diadem), but everyone post-ARR appears to have taken a dislike to it.

    Might have been a pain if you did it 5 years ago, I suppose. It's simple enough these days. If all you want are the mounts, spend time in MSQ Roulette to earn tomes to purchase them.

    While the XP was low, it was an easy way to level up and learn to use that level 45-55 job you haven't been leveling "because".

    Yeah, I started those back when it was just "ARR", but finished them when I decided to start leveling all of the other jobs to max level about two years ago.

    I wonder if they meant pain in relation to reward/time spent. I had done them on second character and all ARR beast tribes are out of sync. It wasn't an issue when cap was 50 and you couldn't get higher. I also literally did them on jobs as soon as they could and wasn't really getting xp else where and it still seemed out of sync. The fates are not nearly as obnoxious in ARR. Which helps,b ut they should just delete them all.


    ARR beast tribe quest lines are really good. If they don't want to to rescale rewards which is fine. You could argue they don't want people doing that content instead of X content. They could just change it so the rep you get moves you to next rank every day. This hurts no one and actually would improve the quest experience as they would see it play out closer to each other.


    I just wanted to add that I like this thread. I don't agree with everything on this list. But have seen better stuff mentioned in a few posts here then is some LL.

    Skirmish is nothing like PvP. I cannot queue up for it. The rewards I want are not glamour items. PvP obviously shouldn't be a gateway for the best, or even good, PvE weapons, but then again Skirmish had nothing in common with PvP so I don't know why that's even an argument.

    I don't know about revamping and meaning to allocate resources on that rather than creating something new and better, but there are some things that are in a weird state today:
    Leves from 1-50, the Chocobo companion, treasure maps (even if it's a different coat of paint, it's the same system and it's getting more and more boring, except for the shifting altars), FATEs, dungeon format, housing , retainers' missions, squadron...
