Some suggestions, mostly quality of life, obvious things

Have something where for stats like parry, block, ect it shows the percentage it is at. Ie parry 15%

Lazy and non-immersive.

It's not lazy and non-immersive, its annoying..At least have an option to make it automated then if some people want to be "immersed" by having to click shit a few extra times..

That's like saying, it's annoying to have to take your wallet out of your pocket when you want to pay for something. It's absolutely lazy, you should just admit that you'd prefer a system that allows you to be lazy...

I wonder if people realize you can right-click on the image of the item the guy is waiting for, instead of searching through your bag? It's a lot faster.

One point: if this is for 'key items' only, you'll see a couple of story missions that utilize the auto-turn in, which would be pointless. And it wouldn't work for regular missions or leves, because of the option to turn in HQ versions of your items, which is the key to making, oh, about triple XP.

How about making windowing outta the game work right? It seems like I crash about 50% of the time I window out of Full Screen mode. I've since resorted to using Full Screen-Windowed mode which allows you to window out without crashing but I'd rather not use it, you take a small performance hit.

Anyone else having this problem?

Above your HP section of the bar it will say "ALL" or "Others"
when you enter battle mode (attacking monsters) it automatically switches to "Others" limiting what you can target with left and right to any monster or npc in targetable range/view. (this is to bypass players outside of party keeping you from selecting monsters)

When outside of battle it normally sits on "ALL" which of course allows you to target anything.

If you want to cycle between the targeting modes please use L1(LB if you have xbox or equivalent for pc) + one of the action buttons to use one of the various targeting filters. (it can also be modified and enabled via the character settings from the main menu " things like aggro enimies, non part pc, minions, npc)

PS i Replied as soon as i saw your post i wonder if someone else already responded with this info. In that case you may just ignore me.

Hittin tab works best no target carby

For crafting material tool tips, please identify what crafting / gathering class they are used for as it's a pain to remember what belongs to which class.

UI:
Ability to remove Summoner's pet bar
Ability to make Summoner's pet bar verticle
Ability to lock hotbars in place (locking right now only locks your abilities in place)
Ability to repair all (inventory, armory, equipped)
Bring back the quest tracking from before where you can add and remove which quest you want tracked. Right now if there's to many quest, it will pick at random and your inactive quest will not show on the map.

Chocobo Companion:
Make chocobo campanion not kick you out of duty finder
Either let you ride another mount while your chocobo campanion is out or add a sort of "hop on hop off" function. Wasting gysalh greens everytime you want to move to a different area is not fun

Re-organized OP, added everything worthwhile up to end of page 7 (I think).

I don't want my own minion to be unclickable!

I changed it to say "ignore only right-clicks, ignore all clicks in combat". That should be a good compromise, no?

Auto-hand-over quest items? That's not "quality of life", that's just lazy.

Handing over quest-items is entirely redundant (gameplay-wise). Not having to do it would increase quality of life by that merit alone.
I understand there are quests where it plays quite a big role, but the amount could well be reduced imo. Thanks for posting.

How hard is it to click the dismount button before using your skills?

How hard is it to not accidentally hit skill buttons while mounted?
Almost every MMO ever has auto-dismount on skill-use, either as an option in the game, or through add-ons.

talking down to someone from up on a horse is rude. [...] 20 birds around an NPC.

There's an easy solution to this: dismiss your minion! [...]

1: Yes, so rude to the NPCs!
You can press X to click through friendly players, no problem. 20 birds more or not won't make a difference, you have to press the button most of the time anyway. But yeah, auto-dismount at least is a must, current implementation is a nightmare.

2: Well, seeing how they are in the game however, I'm making a suggestion on how to improve upon their existance. I find your selfish stance on minions non-immersive. Or something. :P

As for the trading thing, make a new thread for that issue imo, it is complicated enough (I agree with what you said, but this is not the place). Thanks.

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet: Please add keyboard hotbar functionality to the UI options on PS3. From what I can tell, you did a good job of integrating it onto gamepad, but I'm not much of a gamepad person (especially with more complex games like this). Everything else works on the keyboard-- I'd like to be able to fight as well. :]
