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

[Casti_EL]

For me it would be (some already been said):

1. Male Miqote hands (as the OP said) - far too rigid looking, relaxing these just a small amount would be much more pleasing to look at whilst retaining that "claw" look.
2. Whilst we're on the subject can the male Miqo straighten his neck a bit (not sure if anyone else gets bothered by it but they always look like they have a crick in their neck or a humped back to me).
3. Option to hide tails on Miqo, Aura and Hoth or at least fix clipping issues with them - very off-putting when running in some gear and the tail just cuts through it.
4. Re-design Summoner Egi's so they don't resemble gummy-shapes and give us more to play with. (Former FFXI Summoner main - I loved how the avatars worked/looked in that)
5. Restore pet-targeting for Summoner - I miss using Titan to tank an enemy whilst I blast away (and some class-quests were designed around this making them more complicated now).
6. Increase Trusts to other expansions (granted may take a while as they'd need to sort out programming for each dungeon but would be nice to replace squadrons with them).
7. Increase number of trust characters available - doesn't need to be Scions, could be other characters from around Eorzea or randoms like in Squadrons.
8. More character customisations.

[*] GENDERLOCKS. Please please please do away with genderlocks. Bury them forever. It's 2020 no one wants your antiquated gender norms.

I'm fine with some genderlocks as long as it's an even playing field, so females don't get more attention than males (or vis versa but that rarely happens). Whether it being 2020 or not is irrelevant, "no one wants" is a lie.

The problem with genderlocks is that it's inherently an uneven playing field no matter what you do with it. With the current system, if a person playing a male character wants, say, a pair of boots from a female-locked glamour set, tough. The whole "separate but equal" thing is flawed because of its subjectivity; what some players view as fair, others won't. We know SE is capable of making typically feminine sets available to both genders (i.e. the bunny outfit from the Gold Saucer, the Mheg outfit on the cash shop, 2b's outfit from Copied Factory) so there isn't an excuse not to remove gender locks at the very LEAST on all content moving forward. My comment on it being 2020 is that we're in a more accepting age than ever and there's no excuse to hide behind antiquated gender norms as an excuse to say "well players like it this way" when the vast majority do not. If it's a matter of making money, they can still MAKE the feminine and masculine sets to sell on the cash shop, just don't genderlock them. I guarantee they'll still make plenty of money that way, if not more, for players wanting outfits currently locked to the opposite gender.

Your whole statement reads as: "I'm fine with it so everyone else has no reason not to be fine with it." And that's just super toxic, my dude.

I want the the Unending Journey to be more complete. There are dozens of missing cutscenes from the MSQ and sidequests. Seasonal event scenes should be saved. There are also dozens of scenes that are not connected to quests that don't end up in there, like the Firmament scenes, and those triggered by achievements.

Agreed. I know they're mitigating some of this with New Game+ being stretched back all the way to ARR (slowly), but seasonal and limited event quests don't make it to Unending Journey and that makes me sad. They need to add Eternal Bonding ceremony scenes to UE too, for those of us who got married in game.

Are you sure you want to use this mandatory quest item on this mandatory quest interactive item? This needs to go.

Can't do Action X because Window Y is open.

Quick synth simply needs to be faster.

Shards/Crystals/Clusters need to go. They are nothing but a market for bots.

Culinarian needs to not require 6 ingredients for tons of crafts. It is murder on inventory.

Same with Fisher. Too many baits / fish to fish. Their offhand should have been "Bait" that was replaced every few levels and worked on things lower than it.

Speaking of fisher offhand.... why give us one and then not update it? I'm still stuck with my level 61 spearfishing gig and it's murder on the ilvl.

This, or give us more inventory space. Or give us a separate inventory specifically for crafting materials. So many options that SE doesn't use.

Can't do Action X because Window Y is open.

God yes this please do away with this SE.

I'll raise you one: don't ever ask a confirmation question if it turns out I can't even do the original requested action in my condition.

Why does the lala walk animation look like they're models walking down a runway covered in waist deep marshmallow fluff? When we run its obvious that we have regular humanoid bone structure, but the walk is some kind of demented stomp/waddle combo.

Let us pick our duty complete stance or make the lala's less goofy. Nothing like seeing that "balance on one foot sun salutation" after narrowly defeating a boss who was going to poison the earth/kill our friend/undo reality or whatever.

Give the option to repair an item at market rate at the glamour dresser/armoire instead of making me close out and find that item in my inventory and then repair it with a G7 (overkill) or go off to a mender outside of the inn. I get it, you want to avoid people using the dresser to avoid the infinitesimal cost that is repairing armor in this game. How about "This item cannot go into the dresser until it has at least 100% durability. Repair for XXX gil?"

Aetheryte tickets for centurio seals. nothing like doing my weekly lvl 50 B ranks to have access to aetheryte tickets. Very easy sure, but random extra step.

It was nice to be able to Nascent flash by ourselves, but that upgrade broke the ability to macro Nascent Flash to specific targets, like focus or even a persons name.

Hey It's me again with more suggestions:

1) When dead, option to teleport to the nearest Aetherythe too;

2) Populate the Residential district streets with NPCs wandering around - to give them a less barren aspect;

3) Ever since SB, SMN's Physick became separated from SCH's one. Why it kept scaling with MND? Can we have it scale with INT so it will be useful for once?

4) YoHRa gear look like fashion clothes, not armor... The whole armor class silhouette is really absent in that case... can we get replicas of the sets when the raids are done with? A good thing to spend the coins on.

5) Can we give unique names to our Minions please?

6) Can we choose our name's color on the profie editor? This way the chat log would have more visual differences between who posts what. Sometimes on spammy text situations is quite hard to follow up.

7) On that note, can we adjust the minimum scroll height for auto-scroll to stop? It's annoying that I have to scroll a LOT for that to happen, and sometimes in busy situations is really hard to do so.

8) Can we get optional chat bubbles? They are good for roleplayers, but they are also good in dungeon/raid situations when it's too busy and you don't notice someone asking for something important. With a chat bubble it would appear in the middle of your screen and chances to miss are smaller;

Fun fact I learned today; you do actually teleport to the nearest Aetheryte if you die in mid-air. I was flying back to Formidable from Stilltide and got nuked from orbit by a stack-up marker. SO THAT'S A THING THAT EXISTS and just needs to be further implemented lol. But then I guess it would make the whole home point moot.
