Hello Square Enix Team,

I would like to propose a feature idea for future consideration, one that supports new players, improves training accessibility, and modernizes non-MSQ NPC interactions without affecting core storytelling or voice acting.

AI-Assisted Job Mentor System (Training Hall Integration)

As FFXIV continues to grow, new players face increasing challenges with job fundamentals, mitigation timing, and role responsibilities. While the Novice Network and Mentor system are helpful, they can be inconsistent depending on availability, experience, and community behavior.

A dedicated AI Job Mentor System, accessible through a training hall or expanded Hall of the Novice, could offer:
• Personalized feedback based on a player’s performance
• Guidance on basic rotations, cooldown usage, AoE vs single-target decisions
• Role-specific coaching for tanks, healers, and DPS
• Optional training modules ranging from beginner to advanced
• Judgment-free learning at each player’s own pace

This system would not affect live duty performance unless the player chooses to engage with it. It simply provides an optional, consistent resource for onboarding and long-term skill development.

Optional AI Voice Lines for Non-MSQ Dialogue

To enhance immersion without altering major story content or replacing voice actors, limited AI-generated voice lines could be used exclusively for:
• Side quests and role quests
• Basic NPC dialogue
• Training hall feedback
• Duty Support and Trust companions’ non-cinematic lines

This approach preserves the MSQ’s artistic integrity while allowing the world to feel more alive in smaller interactions. Voice actors would still voice all major story scenes; AI would only supplement minor or repetitive lines that currently go unvoiced.

Closing Thoughts

These features would greatly benefit new players, improve the learning curve, and enrich the game’s everyday interactions while respecting FFXIV’s narrative standards. Thank you for your continued work and for considering ideas that support the community’s long-term
