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

[Valic]

There's some really well written lore people of the community have done that I would want to find a way to include. My own stuff and other xaela tribe lore that people have made for example, I'd love to add their names to the random last name generator to make those tribes blossom naturally. I know some moonkeeper players too with such a passion that would probably have the same desire(s).



Other than that.... "Shared" emotes. Things like ballroom dancing, fist fighting, anything that involves more than one player doing an action together like some of the open world NPC's do.

Scavenger Hunts! I love Scavenger Hunts. And riddle dungeons, somewhat like Quarn but more setup like the treasure dungeons.
Can you imagine playing that one "that door is lying but I'm telling the truth" famous riddle in a dungeon to progress or get kicked out? That would be awesome!

OOOH or Escape Room Dungeons. Ones you have to figure things out to escape, or fail when the time runs out. =D

I would add a new PvP mode but instead of just regular combat it'd be like an Among Us style social deception game.

Chocobo Breeding in a Chocobo Ranch, inspired by how it is done in FFVII

And before anyone says it, yes I know the game would have to change a lot of background things for this to work but this thread is about dreaming up a fantasy, not about saying exactly how the devs would achieve it.

Catch wild chocobos in different regions and breed them. Who you breed them with and what food they eat will determine the sort of chocobo you get.

It would be purely cosmetic. In combat your bred chocobos would have the exact same stats as your grand company chocobo. You would of course also be able to use them as mounts.

To catch chocobos you would need to track them down and when you have they would spawn similarly to how story mobs spawn in quests. The locations of the chocobo would be randomised on the map so no flying to the destination without tracking them first.

To catch them you would do a mini game involving baiting them with food and putting a harness on them. When you catch a chocobo it is automatically sent to your ranch.

The breeding would take place in a personal instanced chocobo ranch with some cosmetic options such as the colour and style of the buildings, the races of the npcs, the style of terrain, types of plants and some minor layout options like a selection of predetermined locations you can place the buildings in. There would be enough cosmetic options that the likelihood that your ranch would be exactly the same as someone else's would be small.

You would access the ranch similarly to how you access apartments. You can choose to leave them open for anyone to visit, just your friends and fc mates, just your friends, or only you. Only the owner of the ranch can interact with the breeding system.

Results of breeding would be:

**you can combine any physicial traits through breeding**

• stocky or lithe bodies or anything in-between
• varying heights
• smaller or bigger beaks
• pointier or more blunt beaks
• smaller or bigger talons on their feet
• smaller or bigger wings
• different shapes of eyes
• different types of plumage (there is actually a lot of variance in this throughout the FF games)
• their tails would have a variety of shapes
• have their feathers multiple colours instead of just one
• mount visual effects such as a trail of fire, ice, lightning, rainbows, stars, sparkles, etc, when you run or fly with them

Reaching breeding milestones would unlock:

• more ranch slots to hold more chocobos
• more cosmetic options for your ranch
• a selection of bardings that you can dye
• titles for breeding certain amounts of chocobos
• minions of the baby forms of your chocobos
• dyeable chocobo breeder glam gear
• furniture you can place in housing

This will never happen, but I can dream :'D

This will sound silly, but I'd really love to have a roller coaster in the Gold Saucer, or an aqua park! I understand that no one would use such things because there's no real point in them (unless the aqua park comes with some sort of jumping mini games that give any reward), but I really enjoy that kind of thing ;w;

If I may add something that people would use for sure... then I'd like some interior windows or bancony that actually show the world outside. I don't mean to show what's actually outside but a landscape of their own, so that they can be placed anywhere.


PS: I'm glad to see a serious thread for once. Lately, browsing the official forums has become a bit uninteresting.

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.

[Sauteed]

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.

[Fredco191]

I’m a simple man. I’d probably just make additions to the character creator.

Increased height slider, "Body type" option, new faces, more facial features, etc.

[MsQi]

I would add a bestiary, a shopping guide and a shopping list.

When you defeat any monster it gets added to your bestiary, when you get a drop that info gets added as well. When you look and any shop vender your shopping guide notes where they are and what they sell.

The shopping list interfaces with those as well as the gathering, fishing and crafting logs. You can add things manually or you can add all the raw mats for something to it. You can add the mats to craft 15 of one thing and 20 of another, etc, and it would tally it all up and tell you where you can gather, purchase, or what you need to kill.

2B Butts:

Yes.
