[2024.09.28] Live letter wishlist

[MAJRIS]

Share your ideas and wishes for the next live letter!

What would you personally like to see or hear being finally discussed in more depth than just the forum threads?

My personal wish is to give 5minutes to each of recent hot topics from feedback/forums, and going through them with proposed solutions in the roadmap. Topics for systems that are ever-present and are not expansion-only features:

gameplay - job identity for future beyond increasing max level cap? what about the healers or pvp metas?
visual side - status of ongoing graphical update, ongoing double-dye update, hroth&viera hats, quality check of store items and why at least the paid items aren't hroth&viera compatible by default.
story-writing - life expectancy of zones, changes how the WoL is and will be perceived in the next patches and expansions.
other systems - is adding 200 more storeroom slots and two more housing skins all we can expect for the next 2 years? Is eventual rework or update in the pipeline at all?

If you're not going to bother with things, just say "no". No more "maybe" or "in the future patch but we won't tell which one".


cheers and thanks for reading!

Two things I want to see...

An actual plan to fix healers.

And moving away from the 7.0 MSQ into better written story.

All I want is for them to bring back Noxious Gnash and make Viper interesting to play again.

This will decide if I stay or leave. They ruined my main job for the last time.

I am used to it but I no longer want to pay to watch the things I like getting ruined. First my character and the MSQ, and then my job. If they're not going to fix it I just don't care anymore.

- What about the "new encounter design"
- 7.1 release date (my static wont be much available during december, we want to schedule FRU prog)
- What about the loot increase
- Criterion rework
- FRU difficulty/opinion on how to counter AM and simulator
- Tomes issue

My wishlist for the live letter

- 7.1 to be good overall

Yes. that's it. Not really much of a detailed wish list, which I am sure will just get someone to give a "Why post then?!?!?!" type response. But I am just simply not going to expect anything really specific for the time being. I've grown a mindset due to watching Nintendo Directs all these years to essentially "never expect anything" when it comes to a "What's coming" type presentation, because you'll most likely just end up disappointed when what you want, or in FF14's case as well what you're concerns about current things, are not remotely mentioned, but at the same time become very surprised and actually happy when they are since you have something to look forward to. I use to enjoy what would be in the live letters but currently it's kind of just...pointless. I see lots of people constantly wishing for the same things or voice the same concerns every single Live Letter only to get nothing each time and it currently feels like we've hit Nintendo Direct levels of "hope" where some players only watch now simply to see if they actually do acknowledge something they care about and then complain until the next live letter or until the promised patch releases when they don't hear what they want and rinse and repeat for however many months/years.

My only real "Wish" is for 7.1 as a whole to be good as a whole. So I'm going to expect nothing from this Live Letter for the most part and let the actual 7.1 patch when it's released have Yoshi-P and the devs prove my pessimism wrong.

If I do have to actually wish for something though then I wish they will acknowledge the DDOS situation more because the amount of times it has happened since Dawntrail's launch is ridiculous at this point. Obviously they cannot totally control this issue, but still something more then another copy paste "technical issue sorry" post would be nice to hear from them.
