This is why we need jumping/falling system in FFXIV

[Zantetsuken]

It would be nice if some of these concepts where shot down early, it would go a long way to cleaning up the boards.

No offense to the original advocates of the following ideas, but here is my wishlist of things that SE would say are off the table for FFXIV - if for no other reason, than to stop the endless and pointless discussion about them.

1. Jumping
2. Voice Chat
3. Male Miqote, Female Highlander, and Female Roegadyn (There are FAR more important things for the dev team to focus on.)
4. Chat Bubbles
5. Elimination of Anima System
6. Elimination of Armory System (Yes it will be changed, but the overall concept will remain)
7. Glowing Weapons
8. 2-Hour abilities (I like them, but I wouldn't mind it if Yoshida-San told us they were a no-go)
9. Skill Trees (Job/Class Trees would be fantastic and very thematic, But skill trees are cliche and overdone)

That's all I have for now... But I'm sure I'll come across some more in the near future.

Oh well if you're saying it, then it must be correct.

You do understand what a forum is, right?

So in your opinion, these things people are offering as ideas to better this game or add some immersion to it are dumb? What's wrong with skill trees? Or glowing weapons? OR EVEN MALE MIQOTE?

Funny, I'm sure you've read that they have several mini teams that focus on different aspects of the game

Best part is Matsui mentions wanting 2-hours to return, even if for being a little biased.

you'd sacrifice the game developer's chance at viewing player opinion for....what? If its not these topics it'll be something else. Or do you think the forums should be gone entirely?

Because then they're only going to pop up elsewhere, with the added gripe that SE doesn't listen to them.

[Zantetsuken]

My point is that FFXIV development at this point should be focused entirely on making the game more of a FINAL FANTASY game before they even consider adding elements that are either scant or completely foreign to the series.

Too many people are focused on the frosting when the cake itself needs fixing. Its a matter of priorities.

Even though Yoshida wants this, some players, clearly do not.

A great Leader: Know how to take ideas and prioritize them(if even considered)

A pitiful leader: Can't chew gum and think at the same time

Yoshi falls into one of these basic categories.

And as pseudo-beta testers, we should do our best to offer input on the important issues, not bombard him with our wishlists.

You know what and you may be right. However, this is a chance for SE to actually listen to the people and it seems nobody is giving up on that chance. You wanna know what I think? SE is listening to us for now but once this game gets stable I doubt they take notice to 1/4 of the ideas.

SE is known for being stubborn and I doubt this XIV embarrassment will make them change completely. Just read these forums and you will see how people complain and cry about what they asked for.
