Some suggestions, mostly quality of life, obvious things

When the thief class comes out it should not have the job of a ninja, Ninja's are highly trained speed/stealth killers not some petty thief.

The ninja's class/job branch should be something like this, ninja is the base class then at lvl 30 plus a lvl 15 archer it then has the job of an assassin.

The thief class/job branch should be something like this, base class should be ether treasure hunter or bandit then at lvl 30 plus a lvl 15 ninja it then has the job of a thief.

A few things that i think would help improve the game and make more people in joy it more are, When as a Scholar be able to target a party member and hit obey making the pet use only its first skill. Having to always target an enemy mob to hit obey on the fairy is annoying not to mention that it still uses its abilities with out being told to. Another thing that would be helpful is to have a level sync outside of fates. By having one out side of fates you can have other party members that have higher job's sync down to your level while partying with them.

I really, really want to be able to mail things to my alts.

* Instead of telling us that one player does not meet the requirements for a duty finder dungeon, can you tell us which player and maybe even why?

* Maybe it's in that unfathomable target "filter" section which I really haven't got my head round, but nevertheless could we please have a SIMPLE target of target option that we can tick in options, so that as a healer we can heal the tank and dps the mob he has as his target.

* A right click on a name in chat and "report and blacklist" option.

* Please let us talk to NPCs whilst mounted.

* I would REALLY like a 3rd retainer, (which could be only one per account) that is accessible by alts, so that the alts can take crafting items and store them. Failing that I would like to be able to send stuff to my alts.

* Can we have full item comparison, rather than having to open the character sheet and compare.

* Can we have ALL green and pink items able to be handed in for seals, I hate destroying stuff, it seems such a waste.

*For healers' sakes, can debuffs always be put at the front of a players line of buffs, and have a red border or some such to make them stand out. Some of the debuffs are so pale and insignificant, that searching through 7 peoples' bars, whilst trying to move out of stuff and heal at the same time, becomes a nightmare for us "not so nimble older players".

* Would like a command for my fairy to /follow a specific player, so that if I want her healing the tank she will go stand near him rather than having to place her each time. This is low on my priority of quality of life stuff, but it's just an idea.

* Can you make Stoneskin a group wide buff like Protect, rather than having impatient people standing around whilst the healer puts it on individually.

* When you join a party, could you make the default speech "party" rather than having to manually change it.

PS3 player here. Not very sure if it works for PC controller players but after choosing the category, press square and the menu will pop.

This is actually very confusing. In all other menus (character, crafting), triangle is used to apply changes and square for subcommand menus. Except for the market search. For me it would be more intuitive to see "start search" as "apply filter (triangle)" and not as a subcommand.

*For healers' sakes, can debuffs always be put at the front of a players line of buffs

I am actually surprised they didn't think of that. I get the display limit, but buffs are less important than debuffs and the chance of having a debuff on a party member is lower than the buff.

Different colored chocobos would be nice for more variations, with special quests from the Grand Companies to obtain them

Asked this before but got no reply.

For ease of sorting/organizing will an open ALL bags option ever happen?

Please create a new disciple of the hand and or have the relic quest blacksmith npc (forgot his name) upgrade all item levels of unique gear up to item lvl 80 or 90 with the same stat benefits that they come with but higher, because there are many unique gear pieces i would like to wear on my lvl 50 classes/jobs.

Hello,

I’d like to share another daily dose of UI comments from Hiroshi Minagawa.

I was in a dungeon and I think I was matched with a beginner, but the member was only on his battle log and couldn’t see what we were saying in chat. I wanted to get his attention but it was kind of tough with only emotes and such.

One way of addressing this would be to make “say” a standard that is included in the battle tab. However, this kind of distorts the policy for the application of each tab, so we are considering the below to deal with this. (This will be addressed after patch 2.2.)

• We are looking into the below additions when you receive a new message in a tab that is not currently displayed:
  1. To make it easier to know you received a new message, make the hidden chat log tab flash. It will become much easier to realize someone sent a message.
  2. A setting so when there is a new chat message in a hidden tab, that tab is automatically switched to.
     This directly addresses the issues. However, there is the negative that it only functions when the setting is turned on.

*The schedule for the above has not actually been formed yet and it has not been checked by the programmer, so there is a possibility that the specifications change.

I’d like to be able to execute the macros I have assigned to the cross hotbar with the keyboard as well while using the gamepad for the PC version.

For the regular horizontal and vertical hotbars it’s possible to assign the keys you like to control them via the keybind settings; however, for the cross hotbar it is not currently possible to assign keyboard controls. When it comes to the PC version, we’d like you to assign actions you’d like to use with the keyboard to the regular hotbars and use them.

If we do not display the text in the upper-left of action icons for what shortcut has been set, it’s possible to increase the settings to support cross hotbar key binds. If there are a lot of requests for executing these actions via keyboard without displaying the text for the shortcut, we will look into addressing this.

I’d like really a sort by condition feature for the repair UI.

Once the lead programmer has a spare moment we will address this.

I’d like special equipment slots for cosmetic type gear.

I believe that the vanity slots that we are planning for patch 2.2 will come close to addressing this request. We do not have any plans to make it so you can completely separate the setting of cosmetic gear and gear with stats.
*The difficulty is, as this would increase the amount of information transferred for each character, we'd see additional stress on the server.

Please add a setting so the cursor position is not remembered.

I believe this is about the behavior occurring for sub-commands. I apologize, but this is actually a bug and we’ll be addressing this in patch 2.1. Additionally, if it seems like there is a need to have cursor positions remembered, we will look into adding a setting to the configuration for after patch 2.2.

There was also a quick follow-up about the comment made on vanity slots.

The vanity slot feature is something that lets you change the look of the gear with stats right?

This is correct. This will be a feature where you can wear one type of equipment and have it displayed as another.

The previous request asked to have separate equipment slots for cosmetic gear in addition to regular equipment slots. We will not be implementing a system exactly as originally requested, but a system that does fulfill the goal of displaying alternate equipment to what is worn.
Also, as previously mentioned there will be some restrictions as to what you combinations can be worn and displayed.

*Once the specific details for the vanity system have been finalized we will make an announcement. There is also the possibility that the official name changes.
