It'd be nice if my internet routing into Japan would stop losing packets and causing lag spikes every day from 6-7pm to 11-12pm. It's sad that I have to pay for a VPN to play the game smoothly in the evenings.![]()

It would be nice if I could pet my chocobo (and get a reaction).
They can be such a great help and deserve all the pets they get. It would be wonderful if we could do way more things with them.
It would be nice if there was a sort of Kickstarter system in the game.
Basically, things the devs are on the fence about are listed (eg. A new glamour, or making all racial gear usable for all races, fix hats for viera/hrothgar). These are things the devs are 100% not planning to do with regular subscription money.
The devs put down these projects with how much dev time/money it would take. Players can contribute real money towards it. If it hits the needed amount, devs do it (possibly hiring from other dev teams).
Contributors either get the new item in the mail since they pre-purchased it, or in the event it something non-tangible like a housing ward, they get some minor but nice item (wall plaque, medal necklace, participation trophy..something super minor)
It'd be nice if levequests were revamped to encourage party play like they used to before ARR, didn't cost a wasted allowance when your duty queue popped and they improved the implementation of the ishgardian ones in particular.
And
It'd be nice if Hrothgar didn't walk all hunched ooga-booga like.
Yeet, here's some- these games are fun:
It would be nice if- there was an in game calendar, might see some unity with other systems like FC, but also include in game events and perhaps through filter toggle other concepts (might have weather in the calendar, after visiting the weather station), quest reset, updates etc.
It would be nice if- there was some sort of homely for everyone system, either airships (down below) or something else (sanctuary might apply here). A new system where you get Wild Star, EQ2 in some ways, housing with your own space, while not killing wards would be great.
It would be nice if- there was more emphasis on role play of your job / situation, like items that have cool effects, goofy potions to use for fun, dragoons who don't take fall damage, etc. Avoid damaging end game balance, but to inject a sense of 'roleplay' into the game (mechanically)- like maybe white mage gets slow fall, cool crafter specific gizmos, not every enemy being aggressive (looking at you aggressive deer lol), enemies sometimes behaving a little bit differently in their off time like Snurbles who might cure you as you walk by or some enemy who is very fast movement, etc. One idea for some of this was a roleplay and cosmetic merit system, so you could upgrade your dragoon with 50% damage jump, then zero, higher jump in areas you've flying, Nidhogg theme'd armor, dark knight smokey aura effect from HW trailer, etc. Roleplay may inject into the enviroment too, camp fires might offer a buff after sitting in them for a certain amount of time, perhaps hidden areas or puzzles because why not, etc. Add a sense of mystery via more tangible aspects.
It would be nice if- related a bit to the previous if they go full Thal's spherical halls to the walls on summoner to give it the "FF" vibe. Not saying 1:1 scale, but those demi are the right ideas, and some of the other big ooh as spells. Summoning magic is consistently the most overly gaudy in your face magic, so I feel like that should be 'the job' if you want to make the most noise. Which is currently probably Black Mage or something akin to it. Holy spam, yee.. lol. Which includes ensuring a nice range of summons. This may or may not mean large changes, I could see this happen without them, and I could see it with them (large changes). Which isn't to say I think it's horrible right now, ARR I wasn't impressed but to credit the two demi are purty.
It would be nice if- there was a build your hamlet sort of concept for FC, group activity- perhaps a sort of Sanctuary like concept except more into the industrial thought (village). Adding purpose to reputation, and more of them, building up alliances and friendships. Adding Hamlet defense, and assault even. Dark Cloud (video game) vibes, placing down facilities, etc.
It would be nice if- hunts rewarded those who liked to spot them alive, but there was also a system for those who came later to enjoy them too and perhaps giving them a bit more of a Monster Hunter vibe. Such that you might go to their death location, interact with their essence and kindle their spirit for a fight there. Keeping insane instant death hunts to a minimum while allowing different groups to engage in them. (Not a fan of the train, maybe some are). Adding more rewards, and unique ones at that, to the concept now that more people can take part. Coming late not being aggressively punishing but lowering the strength of the essence reducing # of rolls (so if alive is 3 major rolls 1 minor, freshly dead would be 3 major no minor, and less at each interval, the strength of the enemy going down as well, and you can optionally pick lower strengths).
It would be nice if- there was a mega leve like system that gave a mad lib sort of large quest experience with a very high value reward (but limited per week). Reward might be choose-able, but say if you didn't play often it might be like "300 tomes". Always worth the time invest, but limited and a bit dynamic so someone might choose a different reward that benefits them most.
It would be nice if- movement felt more fluid and natural, like dashes being improved on feel or jumping puzzles not being an awkward hanging your toes off ledges that don't exist. Includes collision in general, as some objects are not properly collide-able (you'd think you can stand on them, but you can't).
It would be nice if- all items purchased on the mog shop were account bound rather than some.
It would be nice if- the glamour log could act as a item codex and include all equip-able items (and more, like locations, beasts, etc, if possible). Else an idea that is memory friendly but a bit more steps might be using essence from an area to unlock that section of a crystal library.
It would be nice if- we got a dark theme'd job, emphasis on theme and not specifically colors, (with personal bias to transformation concepts, like Dante from DMC, Yuri from Shadowhearts, Vincent from FF7 / Dirge).
It would be nice if- you could click quest keywords like items to get a hotlink to that item or recipe, like if you could click beast tribe crafting quest item to go straight to that recipe of the job you're currently related to.
It would be nice if- there was a airship content, inspired by classical FF, with far reaching upgrades
It would be nice if- you can use the dismount / put away weapon key to also summon your mount (like .5 second press hold or something)
It would be nice if- chocobos had a content update, hopefully including new jobs, chocobo paradise, chocobo hot and cold, etc
It would be nice if- Grand company teleport tickets could be listed in the teleport UI, and auto use / not use option set for aetheryte tickets
It would be nice if- In general but also for magitek to see some mount unification, like Legacy Chocobo is technically your chocobo with barding and tattoo, should be a toggle / barding, for magitek that'd be being able to color, upgrade and attach stuff in Cid's garage (like making your own FFXV car changes).
It would be nice if- Blue Mage had it's earlier spells designed as interestingly as their last two level cap patch spells (60-70), and gained some more fluid growth opportunities rather than needing to think about over leveling and unsyncing content to use a worse kit. Greatly encouraging mechanics that are good alone but also interweave in interesting ways, like a Diablo 3, Hades, or like type of game. Also would be interesting if other jobs had limited like features (like bard has music).
It would be nice if- seed bags could show their result item so you don't have to mouse over every seed bag to find the one you're looking for.
It would be nice if- housing wards had some more active content opportunities
It would be nice if- you could lock a select number of fields from the randomizer (say "I want this tattoo, voice, or hair but not sure about the rest")
It would be nice if- new ShB zone level system caused changes to the zone and encompassed new concepts as well as old content, expanding the concept further.
It would be nice if- squadrons, trusts, retainers, and companions had more organization between each other, either better uniformity, or moving them off into their own concepts further and aligning things that way to feel uniform (like if squadrons moved into this sort of outpost upgrade / leader of the GC system, meanwhile trust/ companion into another, etc). Just make them feel less like disjointed systems sort of attempting a similar concept.

It would be nice if We had challenging 4 man content.
It would be nice if We had more replayable content.
It would be nice if Housing was account based.
It would be nice if the battle content scaling was more consistent.
It would be nice if they didn't gimp the Dev team by making them develop a single player game.
It would be nice if we had the old Emnity system back.
It would be nice if they didn't ruin BRD.
It would be nice if they had a more hands on community team for each region outside Japan.
It would be nice if GNB and DNC had more crafted primal weapon glamours.
*hint hint nudge nudge*
It would be nice if we could get a tackle box.
It would be nice if we could friend our alts so they could be tenets to your house.
It would be nice if SE would ban botters (not just rmt).
It would be nice if the forums had a downvote option and not just a like option.
