What would you do if you had control over FFXIV?

[Vipes]

I would:

- Revamp this site to be more user friendly. For example, the daily post limit would be removed.
- Enforce direct engagement from our community representatives so they are not limiting themselves largely to Twitter.
- Every playable race would see customisation updates, most notably a muscle definition slider. Male characters would see more options for facial hair, particularly the sort used by the Warrior of Light in promotional footage.
- The terms of service/code of conduct would be tweaked to account for the fact that there is a vocal portion of players in this community seeking to weaponise it against people they form petty grudges over.
- In line with the above, a proper appeal and forgiveness system would be implemented for players who have made minor breaches rather than major ones.
- Ranked PvP would be removed in its current form and shift to a model that encourages horizontal progression. Titles, mounts, minions and cool glamour would be available for reaching certain milestones.
- Player housing would be made available to everybody.
- The ability to change the interior of each house would be added, allowing for pillars to be removed if desired.
- Garlean and Sharlayan themed housing would be added in due time.
- Pureblood Garleans would be added as a playable race.
- Necromancer would be added as a playable job.
- Varis zos Galvus and Regula van Hydrus would be brought back via the Resonance and installed as the leaders of Garlemald, each playing a major part in taking down Zenos.
- The game's textures would be improved and revamped across the board over time.
- Place more focus on adding classically handsome options for male characters where hairstyles and glamour are both concerned.

Add in playable Ivalice Moogles and I’d vote for you.

We could always trade the spiteful midgets for them. I'd be game.

I recall reading somewhere that Yoshida said throwing more money at the problem won't do any good. They are trying to hire more people but can't get anyone. It's not a lack of funds, it's a lack of devs.

I'm not entirely sure I buy it tbh. Yes, perhaps for the specialised niche that is MMO combat design in raids, that is true, but that isn't what the hold up is on many projects people keep asking about (e.g. the conversion of the low res to high res textures - something they are apparently slowly starting work on now.) I suspect it may have something to do with how willing they are to parcel out certain work to contingent labour, really. They do engage with third parties for some work, like voice acting, to my knowledge, but their hand is forced there.

I would LOVE a graphics overhaul, especially for textures.

I don't need this game looking super shiny but some of the textures are really, really bad.

We dropped PS3 a long time ago, can we at least get a texture pack we can toggle on or off based preference? It's time.

By the sounds of it I think they are beginning to work on that. I posted some links on hints of it here.

This will be at the top of my list, Theo.

Actually a good list overall-- only item I would add is to return the SMN skill Psyche back to BLM-- or least some form of self healing. I'm legitimately exhausted from teaching healers how to do their job, and I'm fed up at being at their mercy to get some simple heals. Heck, back in 1.0, I believe BLM actually had access to the cure spells-- good times.

I'm not sure what you're talking about on Psyche, as it's not a name I recognize. What I will say with BLM is I agree they should have a skill that lets them drain MP or something. Portion of damage comes back to you in the form of health. Even if it's on something crappy like Scathe, at least it would give it a purpose on being used, lol. But giving them a raw self heal somehow feels like it would be breaking lore.

Physick is what he means. Blm used to have it back when cross role actions were a thing.

Yep-- this-- thanks Kizuya.

You hit the nail on the head with all of these so all ima say is please vote this man in for president

[Awha]

Would make a moogles playable.
Add mythic+ style small form content.
Give more class more ogcd skills.
Also delete cats.

[Katie_Kitty]

I would basically take ACT and fflogs and add them to the game proper.

[MPK]

Only work on new savage/ultimate raids. No other content will ever be added.
