You are given a job... [Serious discussion]

[MicahZerrshia]

I would add an ultimate weapons. One that you can start when you are really low level or would require you to go back and do content (normal-hard-savage) synced. Like get drops from fates in starter zones, low level dungeons and the like, even potd, hoh, hunts, primals, anything battle related (no crafting/gathering items). And have this weapon always be equal to BiS if you want to put the time in. Allowing us the extract a special materia from our soul stones to complete certain steps would also make those items just feel more important.

Just something that took time, something that was more rare but not a requirement, something that just didn't become a glamour item after an expansion came to a conclusion.

This would give many of us something to work on during slow times. This would also make that item more relevant and give us more of a sense of accomplishment. Goals, especially long term goals, are something this game is severely lacking. And installing something of this sort would be just a nice time sync for those of us who do not want to unsub between patches but have little else to work on.

This could also be applied to gear. Give us a job specific gear set that begins at say level 50, ilvl 90 and let us work on building it up to be equal to BiS gear.

I've Move the Marketboard in Ishgard to beside the Aetheryte Teleporter, make it able to transfer servers, and place a Guild Storage Box inbetween the Atheryte and the MB.

I would add a kind of bumper cars style mini game to the gold saucer, or maybe even go full on Mario Kart. Do I think the engine could handle that? Probably not, but the resulting madness could be extremely entertaining. Outside of just "doing stuff" in that mode, could be an MGP sink, a few people I talked to in the past are sitting at MGP cap, and you don't have to make it a huge MGP sink, want a special kind of weapon to use in the mode? Pay 1k MGP at the start of the match, and have a maybe a 5 weapon load out max. Each weapon gets 1 charge.

And for inspiration, I'd go for the original SNES mario cart, some weapons are better than others, but if each weapon can only be purchased 1 time and you get a max of maybe 3 to 5 weapons, well there you go. For modes, you could have a race mode, and the objective could be "winning" the race, but you know you'd just focus on pushing your friends off into space . I would. Then have the classic death match style as well. This game would have to be a bit better programmed than the chocobo races tho, imo chocobo races are too stiff and jerky and "robotic" feeling to feel well, and the controls are horrible in my opinion, and that might be a server or engine limitation. Ok that's what I'd add.

I would add more and enhanced character options. Taller au ra females, muscle definition etc

lore recorder in the collection. Bestiary, field notes like bozja, artifacts...

pillarless interior option for housing

a marketboard to mor dhona and the ability to carry more than one zodiac book at a time for a weapon

difficult 4 man dungeons. To balance the healer responsibility, dps will be given a phoenix down each and the tanks limited aguem vitae as duty actions. No more than 2 raises per player.

Solo trials/extremes/savages/ultimates to get gear, they are designed to test your skill with a job and in return you get bis and exclusive all class glams. A new bard mode based upon the WOL/WOD's trials during the story where they had no back up.
idk I kind of picture it as normal being telling it to the idyllshire kids, extreme being how it actually went, savage is what everyone makes out what you did and ultimate is the wandering minstrel's fault.

I'd add a garlean gauntlet raid whose tactics change depending on how the party fights. Think the 5 judges battle from FF12 remaster.

I'd add a vendor that freely distributes current savage gear, changing its stock whenever current savage gear changes, just to see what happens.

like a gil vendor? Would that not shatter the game? oO

My completely serious prediction: Several weeks of players burning down the forums accompanied by threats to rage unsub, as well as a handful of people who actually do unsub. The next tier comes out and most people find it really doesn't matter much (assuming SE actually adjusts the difficulty to account for the fact that everyone has full 500 gear to start). Over time it does hurt participation rates for savage and player retention a bit, but the majority of the people who already do savage continue to do savage and the long term impact on the game is fairly minor, although perhaps not utterly negligible. Eventually some of the people who rage quit over this may come back too and find out it's not as bad as they thought.

Oh, there would also be sub loss among more casual players who can now go to a vendor to instantly get a full set of more or less BiS gear instead of spending a few weeks grinding for it, but as long as you give them other content to do repeatedly, they'd be fine. A lot of them would be fine even if you didn't give them other content to do.

Those several weeks will be hilarious though.

I will give the possibility to play any jobs iterations from previous expansions in all contents expected savage raids and ultimate fights from actual expansion.

You would like to play your Ninja (Realm Reborn), Dark Knight (Heavensward) or Astrologian (Stormblood) in Shadowbringers ?
Yes, you could !!!

This will sound very stupid and needlessly unnecessary but an option to revert jobs to previous expansion iterations when doing synced content.
This will reflect the state of the jobs in the last patch of the expansion (x.5), and the state of the job will depend on what level is the synced content in.

1-50 = Revert to ARR state
50-60 = Revert to Heavensward state
60-70 = Revert to Stormblood State.

I just want this just because I miss old MCH. No other reason really.

GIVE ME IT, GIVE IT NOW ;n;

seriously, I'm jealous, that is an amazing idea and it would really make a lot of people happy I reckon. Even if it was only for older duties.

I have suggested it before on the healer forums but daft old me forgot to make it apply to other jobs. Old mch, 3.0 drk, 2.0 monk...

I really like the *idea* of Mahjong, but I simply can't figure out the rules from what's provided in game. And don't care enough to do outside research; or to try to memorize the list of 20-or-so non-English terms for the moves. And most of NA seems to be in the same boat.

I'd love to add a simple 4-player game along those lines; maybe Poker or Blackjack.

Or if that's going to run up against anti-gambling laws or be deemed too similar to Triple Triad - maybe a more complex 2-person game like Chess or Go.
