The game and my biggest complaint(issue with it)

[IckeDerTyp]

You can always use pots and food for any and all content if you wish! Also they're pretty important for crafter too, which really aren't the 2% content :3

But you're right of course, more things should have an inherent value to us players, not just the ones we make up in our minds!

Agreement. I hate food and potions in this game. I prefer those from the Elder Scrolls Online, where you get a buff or some heal while using it. It is always usefull.

Or think about Materia. Most of Materia is garbage. When 7.x comes out, even most of current worthwile materia will be garbage.

Back then dungeons were a lot harder. Especially in ARR.

I really wish we could get more midcore content, something not as hard as savage and something that is accessible everyday like dungeons in roulette. Something where healing actually matters. Even in Savage most healers don't need their full kit of panic buttons.

I use materia outside of savage and EX.

Sure, it don't MATTER, but it makes life just a little bit easier, and for anybody who has to heal for me.

Just because most people don't care, don't make it useless.

Go ahead, put materia in, you'll not get yelled at, and everything will be better off because of it.

I'm honestly surprised about Materia in this game.

I extract Materia all the time from my gear, as I'm sure everyone else does too, and I put low-level Materia on the Market Board every day, and it always sells well. I figured that the market would be completely saturated with it now, but I guess not.

So even though it doesn't have value for me, I guess it does for someone...

Honestly how I would fix material to make it matter in everything is create new types, make a poison material that if its in weapons give players a chance to poison based on tier, add defense like protect,shell etc materia and so on.

For gathers add a materia that adds +1 to gathered items based on tier like tier one gives +1 tier 2 +3 tier 4 +6 etc, for crafters add a probability materia of getting an excellent or good tier and add idk cp regen mats... Like we could make amazing systems with the materia and have fun with consumables.. but

for combat we could add in material that increases exp gained and spirtbinding as well

and for combat ones id make them super rare drops from bosses that way people have a reason to farm dungeons


for consumables/esuna Id A make them a lot more useful and B. make them useable on everything related a esuna should work on all negative effects on the party, same with "golden niddle" antipots etc .. that would fix so many things just doing that alone

id also add a mount in every dungeon that way its another reason to farm'


I would allow people to use this anti fire potions etc in everything same with pots in PVP id allow it this would give so much value to everything in the game, and honestly I believe would make everyone happy. Id also make every fish either useable in a craft/alchmey or id make a npc at fisher guild that will buy them off players for either gil or white scrips.


This would encourage players to prepare and always do their very best that they possibly can in everything and would make so much of the dead content more alive and enjoyable



As for culinary we could get something interactive where we make food for people at the guild, and earn culinary tokens which we can use to get more "rare" things, in fact we could do this with every guild add a repeatable thing with no limits to earn guild tokens/gil that we can spend on w/e
