Minor Gripes You'd Like To See Changed or Fixed: A Thread

[Nightingaile]

Honestly, grinds my gears so much that our drawn weapon idle poses are gender-locked. I see absolutely no reason why they can't allow both female and male options on our characters regardless of their gender.

Example: I love Dark Knight. I love the gigantic greatswords. I HATE that I never get to see the tip because when it's drawn, I am forced into the idle pose where I stick it into the ground. The male Idle pose is excellent.

I know theyre getting *better* about this with equipment and allowing stuff to be worn by both genders, but it just feels like a weird Japanese cultural hold-over where females *must* have different poses. Maybe that's not the case, but it irks me nonetheless.

I feel the same, but opposite in regard to the DRK pose. I love the female idle pose for DRK, it's wicked cool and I'd love to be able to see it on my male miqo.

They honestly just need to do away with genderlocks entirely, imo. It's probably the biggest "minor" gripe I have. I agree that it's a relic from Japanese culture where the female and male characters HAVE to have these distinct differences but like... there's a huge spectrum in between to be explored and I think FFXIV and mmo content in general can only benefit from removing the barriers and allowing players to just go hog wild in character creation. Granted, there was a discussion on another forum post about adding in gender-neutral pronouns and as much as I'd love to see it, I can readily admit that poses far more a significant challenge (voice acting dialogue not the least of which) than just removing gender locks. They're taking baby steps on the right path, I just hope that it continues to get better, and get better faster.

Very well said. Here's hoping!

Maybe I'll make my own forum post about it sometime

Only gripe I can really think of is Glam dresser slots. 400 was not nearly enough and I had it immediately filled to it's max capacity the day it was increased. At the very least give us additional free retainers especially if you are going to continue to do events similar to the Yokai one, I had to store all 17 weapons in one of my retainers which is taking up space I'd rather save for crafting materials.

Yokai Event weapons are one of the few things you CAN store in the armoire.... which is another beast entirely. But yeah, go free up 17 retainer slots and put those babies in the armoire!!!

I now want the glamour UI to have the option to only list items in the inventory or armory chest for the right side as well as the left side/base. Would make finding the relevant pieces easier.

Alarms could use a bit more work. It would feel more smooth if it opens the map to a specific alarm you're tracking when you click it. More character space would be nice too when naming the alerts. But I think linking a zone's map to an alarm would be a bigger QOL adjustment.

What do you mean? The only relevant thing I can think of is the map links which can be posted to chat. But I'm not aware of any way to name them.

The Alarm window that allows you to track timed nodes when gathering. When you set it up and click one, it only allows you to Edit, Delete, or Delete All. I'm saying it would be nice if it also opens the map to a zone for whichever Alarm you pick.

At the moment I have to check the Alarm window first, open my gathering log, then find the timed node I'm tracking. What I'm asking for basically eliminates the need to open the gathering log once you have your alarms set up.

I can't figure out how to add images here, but you can open up the alarm window by typing /alarm in-game.
