    Queue feature - Suggestion

    Okay, so we're all stuck sitting in queue for a while now. I am currently looking forward to 2,5 hours in which I can real life and do stuff. But some of us don't have that luxury, and for them, watching the queue go down is an agonizingly slow process.
    So, I stumbled upon this little gem on youtube:

    The top comment of which suggests, that we could have different characters during prolonged queue times pop up on our screen and perform various dances. I personally find this idea amusing, and see no real reason not to implement it, just take a character model, overlay it over the queue and have it perform one of the already existing dance-animations, then cycle through the animations and models at random, maybe with a few quirks inbetween, where after a while it will just be all ingame characters dancing next to each other, just cycling through the animations.

    Since the queue only starts after you have selected a character, you could also program in a quick check-for-search, to see what story quests have been completed, and only show characters that this character has encountered yet to avoid spoilers.

    I love this. You could even have rewards in game to unlock new "dancers" such as a chocobo, spriggan, mogs or trust partners. That or slapping around a training dummy for 3 hours!
    Great idea!

    Because watching characters dance around for 2.5 hours is somehow more engaging than staring at the little window? I don't know about you, but I minimize the game and mute it so I don't keep hearing the menu pop up, and just go watch videos or something. Way more entertaining than watching a chocobo 'dance', and doesn't require an already overworked team to do even more work.

    Just a suggestion for some fun stuff. Square outdid themselves with the expansion, and I'm sure everyone appreciates the work they already do.
    Hope your day goes well!
