Some suggestions, mostly quality of life, obvious things

this thread is hilarious

Some more ideas/suggestions.

1. 8 man and 24 man FATES. Rift had stuff like that, where you would get an item, and then open up a Rift made for certain groups. It was fun. I imagine this would have to be a hidden FATE, as you wouldn't want everyone zerging it. These would be harder than your normal ones though, so if people did try that, without a coordinated group, they would die.

2. Soft cap on tomes. Not a big deal to me, but apply diminishing returns after your cap of 300. People can still farm more if they want, but it will get harder for them the more they get.

A file check option. I'd much rather be able to have the game scan its files and let me know if there is something that is corrupted than have to uninstall and reinstall the game over one file. Currently I'm dealing with a corrupted something in the game files related to playing in windowed mode that makes it flicker. A file check would long since have rectified this issue than me having to manually change game settings every time I log in or contemplate the long download times of reinstalling the full game. Please please please add a file check option.

Please make a new FATE events just for disciples of the hand and disciples of the land.

I agree with this. Runescape has a good preview of what this could be like for gathering in the Comet and Evil Tree events. For fishing, a giant fish could spawn and it would take multiple fishers to pull it up. This would most likely clutter the map as there are already a ton of FATE's, so an option to filter FATEs by class: fieldcraft, battlecraft, etc could be added. In fact, take a look at Runescape for many different ways FATE's or world events for crafts could be added. Sculpting a statue. Creating armor for NPCs and then a battle or boss FATE spawns where those NPCs run out in their new armor and fight.

It's been suggested before... and I agree that you shouldn't be able to be mounted while talking to NPCs (mammoths in WoW)... but for the love of god auto dismount please!

They had something like that already in 1.0, called Hamlet Defense.

From what people say though they were horribly boring however But it is an interesting possibility.

Please give different sitting commands for different seats. I want to sit on top of the bed, not on the edge of the bed. I want to sit on the floor, near the table, or on top on the table, not on the chair. Why do all chairs and beds seem to have a gravity field in this game? I get it it's because then it'd be complicated to sit on them if they required a specific position, but this can be fixed by using different commands!

/sit: you sit on the floor, or on any surface, the same way the character sits on the ground.
/bedsit, /bsit: you sit on the edge of the bed, like we do now when we use /sit near a bed
/chairsit, /csit: you sit on the chair/crate, like we do now when we use /sit near chairs or crates.

Also, if in a second time you could work on giving each race a /crouch and /sit stance as two separate things, that'd be lovely. I'd like to sit on the ground as a male Miqo'te or female Hyur but at the same time I'd like to keep that crouched stance they currently have called /sit. At the same time, I'd like my other characters of different races to get a crouched stance.

And I mean STANCE, as in, an emote that doesn't wear off until it's used again, like /sit. Not a temporary thing like /kneel. I don't get why they didn't make facial emotes like stance either. It'd make everyone happier if they weren't just temporary.

A reason to level chocobo companion. I see no real reason to level my companion besides achievements and a gimped party member. Increase mount speed by 5% or less per companion level.

Give the arcanist class and summoner and scholar jobs the ability to summon two different pets, Like for the summoner job one primal-egi and one carbuncle, for the scholar job one fairy and one carbuncle, then for the arcanist class both carbuncles.

Give the scholar the ability/option to summon the carbuncles.

Please let the tank classes/jobs and the dragoon job to dual wield weapons.

Please give the black mage the spell black hole which is a 11y radius aoe that lasts for 30 sec and a recast of 2-3 min.

Not important, only for the eye I guess...

With the upcoming (FC) houses and the cosy furniture and long meeting tables in mind, I'd like to see more/different sitting animations. Maybe leaning back and crossing arms etc...

Allow us to sell our grand company gear back to the npc we get them from for a small amount of gil or seals.


Increase individual item capacity to 255 instead of 99.
