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

[Brynne]

NPC Romance & Marriage system.

This, basically a bonding system where you could do little quests for NPCs and get to know them better.

in the same line, I just wish they revamped tokens / upgrading gear with tokens as a whole... so messy...
Get two coins, change the 2 coins for a token with a NPC. Go to another NPC to upgrade but you can't have that gear equipped so switch job before your talk to the NPC, then select the gear and the token....
Why so cumbersome?

Because the upgrade tokens can be obtained outright in savage; you can use alliance raid coins to get a Moonshine Twine, or you can have a Moonshine Twine drop and win the roll in the current savage raid tier.

The practical upshot of this is that they only need to provide one upgrade "entry" in the vendor (unaugmented armor + token = augmented armor), rather than multiple. The coins aren't meant to be the upgrade path itself, it's meant to be "give me a different way to obtain the item needed for this upgrade path."

I recognize from the point of view of the end-user it's not really fundamentally different -- nor does the distinction there make it less annoying -- but there is a difference from a design perspective. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I absolutely 239% agree that tokens you can exchange for things ought to consistently have where to trade them in listed in the tooltip, though. Generally you can figure it out, but there are edge cases and it would still really be nice to not need to do so.

Get rid of the Spaghetti Code by creating the game anew and make the whole world one big map

[Ath192]

A Teleport free travel server. Make the world alive again.

[PikoAliapoh]

A button to toggle facepaint and lip color on/off just like we can toggle our headgear on/off.

I might wear warpaint from time to time on adventures. I shouldn't have to go to the aesthetician bell and go through a whole process to toggle it on/off.

I'm not suggesting we get to change our current paint or color for free -- still go to the bell for that.

Just a simple button to hide/unhide it like we can with our hats.

[Kolaina]

Id like to track achievements in my quest list. Just throw up my progress on my hud so I can track it easier.

Unless there is a way and someone can tell me how

[Lieri]

Fix duty recorder so it can be used for every raid. It's 2023. Even mobile games have built it recorders. Such feature will help raiders (new and old) tremendously especially console players. Yes you can record gameplay using softwares but it should be built in, replayable and sped up/slowed down.

And people wonder why there arent so many raiders in this game... for a game that relies so much on pattern for mechanics, the ability to replay a wipe is a must.

People have already thoroughly covered the idea of a functional, searchable, comprehensive glamour log + dye log that unlocks pieces permanently as you acquire them, as well as the idea of upgradeable housing (buy a small, upgrade to a med in the same plot, then later a large, etc.), so I will go back to the dead horse I love to beat...

I would put everything that functions as a currency (its only purpose is to trade it for something else) INTO THE CURRENCY TAB/WALLET, from the moment such items are implemented in the game. I shouldn't have to throw away tokens, totems, doodads, etc. that I've legitimately earned in order to make inventory space, just because "well, you can always run it again though." I shouldn't have to run something again to get another copy of a currency I already legitimately earned.

My entire chocobo saddlebag is full of 8-man raid tokens, and there's literally no reason that should have to be the case just for me to hang onto things that my gameplay has legitimately earned me.

My entire chocobo saddlebag is full of 8-man raid tokens

I'll tack on to that a bit, and suggest that dated tokens should all be consolidated(i.e. get rid of all the manifestos/whatsits/used gobcondoms/etc from Alexander and replace them with a single Alex currency) the same way tomestones eventually get melted down into poetics.

[Meckaku]

There's quite a few things I'd like to implement, some probably stated by others.

But I will go with a mount with a Glamour Dresser attached so if you get a new piece of gear while questing/leveling a new (to character) job, you don't have to teleport to a city with an Aetheryte Crystal to reapply the glamour or put together a new outfit.
