What would you do if you had control over FFXIV?

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.
