Obviously, every player has their own opinions about what should be added, changed, or removed from the game - I am by far no exception [I've made plenty of posts about things I'd love to see implemented]. Again, obviously, I realize that the developers cannot reasonably cater to each and every player.
However, at the same time that doesn't mean that it's not worth the effort to take another look at and tweak the Hunt.
Expand upon the Requirements needed for certain Achievements:
While it's true that S-Ranks reward players with currencies like Tomestones, Centurio Seals, Sacks of Nuts, and Cracked Clusters - but players can get these from a myriad of other sources. Personally, the greatest draw are the Achievement Mounts (& Titles).
It's only been fairly recently that I came to the realization that ALL A-Ranks and ALL S-Ranks count towards the Centurio Tiger mount achievement. (I know, I'm a little slow on the uptake at times) However, when it comes to the subsequent Hunt Achievement Mounts, only one expansions worth of A-ranks and S-ranks count towards their corresponding achievements.
[Only Norvrandt Ranks count towards the Triceratops mount achievement.]
[Only Endwalker Ranks count towards the Victor mount achievement.]
[Only Dawntrail Ranks count towards the Ullr mount achievement.]
- Expand the requirements for the subsequent Hunt Achievements to include "or Current Expansion".
[Allow Dawntrail (as it is the most current) A-Ranks and S-Rank to count towards the all previous Hunt Achievements.]
- Expand the requirements for the subsequent A-Rank Hunt Achievements to include "the minions of SS-Ranks".
[Allow Forgiven Gossips to count towards the Norvrandt A-Rank achievements.]
[Allow Ker Shrouds to count towards the Endwalker A-Rank achievements.]
[Allow Crystal Incarnations to count towards the Dawntrail A-Rank achievements.]
- Expand the requirements for the subsequent S-Rank Hunt Achievements to include "or certain Rare Boss FATES".
[Allow Formidable & Archaeotania to count towards the Norvrandt S-Rank achievements.]
[Allow Daivadipa & Chi to count towards the Endwalker S-Rank achievements.]
[Allow Ttokrrone & Mica the Magical Mu to count towards the Dawntrail S-Rank achievements.]
- Increase the difficulty for older Ranks, make them more of a challenge. Honestly, they die too fast - I don't even know all of the mechanics for some of the <90 Ranks because they're never up long enough. Many players suggest turning the S-Ranks especially into FATES, or at least something akin. What if S-Ranks had an ability that as soon as a player lands a hit on them, they get a debuff that syncs players stats down to the Ranks level (similar to a FATE, but you'd still be LV100 and have access to all your abilities - you'd just be doing them at LV70 stats).
