If you had the power to add one feature no questions asked, what would it be?

More and bigger beards, for all races/

Oh, and also gonna throw this one in here:
Split the Red Mage's arm into two pieces (main hand and off hand) so that we can glamour them separately.

As I've said before, I'd love it if RDM, MCH, and AST had their weapons split into halves. RDM would have the blade and focus so you could glamour them separately, MCH would have the gun and lunchbox (which, let's be honest, about 90% of the game would immediately glamour away the instant they added an "Emperor's New Aetherotransformer" you could get ahold of).

AST, meanwhile... I know most people think the obvious suggestion would be the card sleeve that hangs at the AST's side, but I actually think it would be way more fun to be able to glamour the cards. Replace them with Triple Triad cards, or rectangles of pure fire or light, etc.

Scratch that I'd bring back full cross-classing. Balance can sod off.

Balance notwithstanding, I'd really love more content like Bozja. And by that, I mean "content where the usual expectations do not apply"; Lost Actions and essences made for some really interesting play.

I doubt we're ever going to get back cross-classing, because this game is already becoming a nightmare to balance (and we've demonstrated, as a playerbase, that we need padded walls or we'll develop a party meta and kick 'underperforming' jobs from PF -- witness the fate of certain DPS jobs early this raid tier).

But Bozja demonstrates they're willing to let us wander off the beaten path, as long as we do it somewhere over there, a safe distance away from raid balance implications.

Remove the Stuffed Alpha and the Stuffed Bom Boko from the retainer loot table

My choice would probably be more options in character customization. More sliders to adjust the size and position of key features (eyes, eyebrows, mouth, nose), more faces, more facial hair for everyone, a booty slider, more tattoos and individual racial features as well as more shared options, an option for NO bears scales on male Au'ra like Varshahn, ear shape and size options on Miqos and Hrothgar, etc. And then I have a separate request to edit what I consider flawed options that already exist, namely Hrothgar hair highlights being attached to all fur highlights and Au'ra horns shapes being completely locked to one face each. The Au'ra predicament in particular stops me from ever even trying out the race because on both genders I dislike the horns attached to the faces I prefer.

I hope to see at least half of this implemented by 8.0. Prayer circle.

Choose your class' patch version with scaled damage. That's right. You wanna play 8 minute long rotation SMN for the same damage as peepee poopoo 3 button presser SMN? You got it. Now everyone gets to have fun.

One single pane of glass to all retainers, i.e. access to all retainer inventory, ventures, market listings, gil storage, all on one UI window.

No questions asked, dreaming allowed?

Proper instanced housing. No, not the cupboard under the stairs Harry Potter shit we currently have.

1. every character above a certain level and MSQ progression is eligeble for housing. That includes alts.
2. you choose a location first which is not limited to the main cities but can also include areas like Crystarium, Ruby Sea, Dravanian Forest etc.- the locations don't have a limit on how many players can choose them and if every single player on a server wants their housing in Ruby Sea, that's possible. It's also possible to change location although maybe with some restrictions.
3. you start with a smaller house and plot and upgrade it through a housing instance specific questline all the way up to a mansion (if you want)
4. through the questline you can also customize the garden size (e.g. combining a small house with a large garden), garden layout (making it longer, attaching it to the back/ front/ side of the house etc), the layout inside (e.g. where stairs are, pillars, windows, door placement etc). You may now simply delete pillars and windows completely. You're welcome.
5. the housing menu lets you float items as well as turning/ flipping them around all axes. If you want to flip that table upside down and make the house look as if someone just robbed it, go ahead. Or use the underside of that indoor waterfall to create oddly shapes stone stairs. Items can now be floated into the ground so only part of them peeks through the floor as well
6. when placing an item you can tick a "item disappears through walls and floors" box which allows you float items through the ceiling if you want to use the underside in the basement without the top peeking through the main floor
7. the item limit is greatly increased, probably low 4 digits
8. stable, mailbox etc. are now features you can turn on/ off any time without them taking up a slot
9. you can put minions anywhere in your instance and either set a limited area where they roam or leave it completely up to them and have a Shoebill giving you a hard stare from across the instance
10. the housing menu has a "placeholder item" feature which allows you to place an item without owning it and see it with the full texture but it appears plain white/ grey to any visitors so people have a reason to buy/ craft furniture but can still experiment freely with full designs without crimetooling or crafting/ buying a bunch of stuff that didn't look good after all. Once you acquired an item you can choose to replace a placeholder item that you already placed, saving you the hassle of moving it in the exact spot again
11. the housing menu has a "save layout" feature which allows you to switch between a few designs you finished as long as you have all items in your housing storage (which is also expanded). When chosing one a list of items is shown and anything that's not in the storage is marked red so you know what to put in for a quick switch

And before someone says that it's too unrealistic, no game could possibly do all that... all these features are in other games. Some even have the majority of them all at once.

Some amazing suggestions in this thread so far, which I'd definitely like to see.

Personally I'd also love for the naming of certain spells to return to classic FF style (fire-fira-firaga instead of numbers) and for esunaga to be added to the game, maybe on like a big cooldown or something.

Add some kind of system that actually helps promote RP. So like, an RP LFG menu where you can post "looking for X sort of RP" or "My character is at X doing Y, come RP with me", in addition to having a tab for the venue ads.

But... Spell 1, 2, and 3 IS the classic, original style, I thought?
