Some cool features id like to see in XIV

[Venat]

New features of XI coming out id like to see XIV get them aswell.

Option to play as a Monster

This looks fun as hell. Why bother playing new classes when can just play as a monster. Later on include PvP with Monsters. Add 3-4 Equip system just for Monsters. Let players bring their monsters into Monster only Field areas to level up and earn equipment for their actual character and Monster Character. XI working on it right now but they about to release it next update. XIV could add there new spin on this system and completely improve apon this system without ps2 limitations they have going for it.

Range indicators for range attacks

(These are for Aoe targets and screenshots of XI. In ARR ours is a circle targeter.)
Idea is targeter would change color when enemy gets out or in range. This would help players find out max casting range of their spells and range attacks right away.

Close Range


In Range but in the middle


Outta Range

I like the ranged icon but not really the play as a monster.

Though it would be cool if they implement a Blue Mage that has sillouette of the monster of the attack they are doing.
