    Revamping of Old Content

    I think we can all agree (Despite any balancing issues) that the Revamp for PvP is a major success for FFXIV and we can finally stop memeing about how bad PvP was or if it even exists at all. Hopefully it gets continued support with new gamemodes, rewards and etc

    Maybe a rebalance or rework of the Frontline gamemodes (looking at you Seal Rock)

    However we still have some other content that's either just okay or just abandoned by both the community and the development team, which are Chocobo Racing and Lords of Verminion. The content hasn't seen any development in a very long time and I think it's time to take a look back at this content and see how to make it more fun and active again

    Chocobo Racing could do with a lot of new rewards, maps and maybe just a rework of the racing part of the system itself (it's very clunky)

    Lords of Verminion could do with new gamemodes, easier to use controls for people who play on Controller (PC or Console) and of course new rewards as well

    I know there's a planned new feature for the Gold Saucer but it would be nice to see these two bits of content get a revamp or at least a breath of new life like PvP did

    Lords of Verminion was, in my opinion, an abomination the moment it was released. It needs a serious overhaul. It should have been something akin to Pokemon battling. Again, in my opinion.

    I'd be quite happy if they simply deleted Verminion and copied WoW's Pet Battles. Sometimes innovation is good ...sometimes it's better to simply go with something that works.

    I mean, WoW has some on their cash shop too. Doesn't exactly tip the balance with so many being available in game. FF XIV easily has way more than WoW ever has and ever will on their cash shop but I don't see it making a huge difference.

    Yeah I'd hope it won't make much of a difference and I'd have faith in the Dev Team being able to strike the right balance if they committed themselves to this. Plus doing this also puts some breath of fresh life into other content where you can minions from as well

    Easiest thing would have the cash shop minions just be copy-paste identical to normal in-game ones.

    Like make a set of 5 generic ones, like the Mandoragoras, then just have the cash shop ones copy/paste any one of those.

    Or really any other cheap NPC-shop minion stats.

    They could integrate verminion into Island Sanctuary. Except you have an MvM arena with your (and a friend's) minions.

    Actually thinking about Pokémon/WoW Battle Pets what they could do is something with that Final Fantasy Flare.

    You create a Party of 4 Minions, each Minion would have X amount of Movesets (be it Attack, Support, Defensive, Healer roles) like in classic Final Fantasy games and you have them fight another players Party or an NPC's party (or Boss Fights in the style of classic Final Fantasy games)

    The problem with lord of vermilion is concerning the pacing, its too tedious, we make strategy and tactic but the pacing is so slow and too randomized, they should make it more fast paced and turn based, make it like game of chesse, where you put something 5 front and 5 behind, the front need to be tanky or melee fighter minion while the backrow is range dps, support and healer or something and the battle end in 1 or 2 min, minion will have aura, buff, skill etc, i will play that game for hundred of hours, just like i spent my time wasted on triple triad for almost 300-400 hours, make it a spammable quick mini game, look at crystal pvp, its a spammable quick pvp
