Small things that might make FF14 better

XII is my second favorite FF game, after VII, and the last excellent one, but don't ask me why, I don't even know myself.

I feel similar. While I hated XII at first because of it's story, which is what I loved the FF series for. On my second play through I delved deep into the Mark system and focused more on the side quests and those were brilliant. Who can ever forget suddenly finding themselves cornered by Gilgamesh and facing off against his Swords of Legend. Or running circles trying to keep up with the fabled White Chocobo. Or accidentally falling into an Esper's lair while hunting something else entirely.

XII had the best side quest system ever in the entire FF series by leaps and bounds. And they did it without loading it up with cinematics and voice acting. Leading me to feel it'd be perfect for an MMO.

Honestly I always felt if they just took FF XII and activated an "MMO Switch" That alone would be more fun then most MMO's I've played.

I'd like certain places to open at night like a pub!...

Must of the emotes we have look almost identical on most races.

This started to bug me when I found out that Hyur and Miqote /pray look identical even though their hume/mithra counterparts had very different /heal animations.

-miqo'te tail movement please. I almost regret rolling Miqo'te just for this reason.
-taverns for getting leves... Hello SE your freaking opening CGI had a Hume, miqo'te, and elvaan in a tavern getting leves.
-npcs that react to your emotes (think fable) would be awesome. Have the chocobo rental guy thinking your mental cuz you keep /psych'ing lol

To give more life to the Cities have Npcs do some daily routines or something, follow a path that they do everyday, most people won't relies they are following a path.

Have Npc children running around playing in the city.

Npcs going to load boats with supplies/trade goods.

Npcs taking Items to the market.

All this stuff was really cool and built a lot of excitement for me when I saw the Intro to Limsa Lominsa, the world felt alive, what I got wasn't alive.

Sorry for bad quality screenshots, they were taken from a youtube video.

Sounds exactly like Elder Scrolls games such as Skyrim. To which I heard Yoshi-P is a fan of. I would love to see SE adopt more dynamic nature for town NPC's.

I would like the ambient sound in cities to sound as though it populated. Kind of like when you walk into a crowded room and everyone is talking, but you cant make any words. Baldur's Gate had that same sort of ambient sound.

Make it more noticeable during the day and quieter at night.

More world interaction, more benches to sit on, tables in leve quest area to sit on.
Basically more lively world, seeing random merchants on chocbos roaming the world, caravans moving across the cities. Random fights between NPCs of the army against beasts, etc

Servers for specific regions. It gets very tiring to have hardly anyone online at prime time due to the little EU players we do have being spread across all the servers, if we had a specific server or two it'll be much easier to gather people.
