I still can't get over the portrait function and how any minor change sets you back into Kubrick stare.
They need to fix portraits immediately. How it works right now is so lame.
Me: *changes ring*
FFXIV: "I've never seen this man before in my life."
@@brucewayne1777 PLEASEEEEE 🤣🤣🤣🤣
at the very least have a command that allows you to update your portrait with your current outfit.
And sometimes they break for no discernible reason at all. Everything will look fine and good without any warnings and then when you go into the duty it's suddenly driving license photo time 😐
If I could have one thing added to FFXIV right now it would be auto pulling crafting mats from retainers when you went to craft things like in GW2.
OMG yes. That is my most wanted feature
That, or a special inventory that only holds mats, that would be amazing.
A feature like the crafting bag from ESO would be lovely.
WoW even has that now with the Reagent bank. I beleive it is pulled from that now in Dragonflight.
Material storage from gw2 would be VERY nice
One thing that would want added is to have BTN and MIN get their own version of the fishing boat trips called “Harvest runs” and “Deep Delves” respectfully, you spawn into a random set of forest/farm fields or caves/canyons and work with the other players to gather as much resources as you can, also having it on the opposite hours of the fishing trips
i am on board for this! ocean fishing is so much fun and to having something similar for the other gathers would be a blast!
That could be interesting, I'm not sure about it, I feel like it would jsut be frustrating to run from one node to another tho.
BTW, it's respectively, not respectfully, but that typo made me smile
If I could have one thing in 14 right now, I’d want the ability to put all non-crafted IL1 items into the Armoire, specifically those received as Quest Rewards, such as the Scion Adventurer Set you get during the 3.x Patch Quests, or the Scholasticate Coat you get from the (relatively obscure) Scholasticate Quests in Ishgard.
It would help cut down on Glamour Chest Bloat.
THIS
Not quite the same thing, but a lot of those quest reward glamour sets can be rebought for small sums of gil from calamity salvagers, such as the Scholasticate Coat which you can rebuy infinitely for 100 gil. There's some glamour items that I just threw away rather than stored anywhere, because I know I can just go buy them again on the rare occasion I actually want to use any of them. Still not a good substitute for a proper glamour catalogue or even being able to leverage the armoire for quest rewards, but it's something, for now.
Hell just set all level one items to be storaeble in the armoire. Then they don't have to sort through all the items to designate them one way or the other. Then have the armoire sort the same way as the dresser instead so it's easier to find the gloves or hats or boots you're looking for.
@@SkylasDivide Also, I'm not sure how common knowledge this is, but once you apply something to a glamour plate, you can remove it from the dresser to make space. You'll have to get it again if you want to use it for another plate, but it's something. At least, that's what I remember, I'd have to double-check to make sure I didn't dream it
@@Boyzby You're right. I do this all the time if I like a current-tier raid piece and wanna use it for glam. I just make sure it's got no materia on it before chucking it into the dresser. This way when the next tier comes out/I get better gear, I don't have to keep that old piece around in my inventory (and I can give it to a retainer or smthn)
5 more saddlebag slots for every expansion would be a nice addition, it seems like they've barely even touched the chocobo companion system since it was introduced.
If I could have two things in 14 right now, 1 would be the job specific gear you get for completing job quests each expansion gets an armoire spot. 2 is clicking accept on a queue pop automatically switches you to the gearset slot you queued in, so you don't have to change jobs or skip cut scenes just to make your queue
Pretty sure the job specific armor already can be put in the armoire, can't it? I put mine.
Even better if it switches your job only for the dungeon, so you don't lose your fisher stacks for example.
@@EvaHoshizora you get a second set of job specific gear from a chest at the end of job quests with a slightly higher ilvl for finishing your ARR job quests, but that's the only set that goes in the armoire. I am talking about every expansion, like the stuff you get from Grenoldt in ShB.
@@orillian8023 This is probably changed now but I don't have anything below HW level to test, but the job armor for HW wasn't even given to you, it was tomestone gear, and not even the set from the initial release of the xpac, it was from the first patch. Now to get it again, you have to trade hunt marks.
@@EvaHoshizora That's only the very first level 45 ARR sets, every other set afterwards including the level 50 sets, dye-able variations you can unlock, HW, StB, ShB, and EW artifact gear is all completely incapable of being placed in the Armoire.
Considering they finally made cash shop glamour go into the Armoire a couple patches ago, I'm holding out hope they'll fix this eventually. Though I doubt they'd allow the newer PvP artifact gear reskins in there without some pestering from the community.
I want a place to list unlocked field content - Diadem, Bozja, Eureka, Island Sanctuary, Deep Dungeons etc. - and where their entrances are. Or just to able to teleport into them without having to remember what the random NPC is called and where they live. Hell, a filofax would do.
The one thing I would add right now is the ability to add notes to the friend's list so I can remember who everyone is...
Soooooo seconded! ^^
I am a legally blind FFXIV player. One feature I would love to see added is AI text-to-speech for non0voiced cutscenes and the names of attacks the bosses are using. This would even the playing field for some fights which have less telegraphs for the attacks, and allow me to enjoy the cutscenes more without exhausting the little vision I have left.
would be nice, think most ppl and games incl me forget that blind doesnt always mean cant see anything. just that everything is vage that its hard to id anything.
Another legally blind player here, this would be lovely. Also the option to change aoe colours, because boy do I love fights with red and orange floors. Or, say, blue floors when they arbitrarily decide to make the aoe ALSO blue… It can be hard enough watching for attacks without the floor obscuring the otherwise obvious attacks.
The ability, when making a new character, to play from the start as any job you've unlocked.
Idea: a small configuration mode called 'Aethersight'. You're in an instanced area, similar to the Hall of The Novice, where you can use a menu to adjust AOE and menu colours and preview what they'd look like with different lightning/floor colours.
You could talk to an NPC found in each major city to take you to that space and then back again. Some kind of enhanced accessibility mode.
And the best part is that this accessability feature would also be a massive help for able bodied people too! Absolutely baffled why they haven't introduced something like this yet@@AltaMillia
a "shopping list" feature for crafters. Where you could add any number of items you wanted to craft, and the game would track the raw and precraft mats you have to make a list of what you still need to get to craft it all at once... basically what teamcraft does, but in-game. Bonus points if it comes with a feature to, if you're close to a marketboard, search for them directly from the list; that would be a particular godsend for console players, sometimes I just don't feel like connecting the keyboard if I'm not playing with other people
it's not perfect, but if you right click an item in your crafting log you can actually select "Raw Materials List" and it will tell you what you need to craft X many of it (it automatically searches your retainers/saddlebag too, and has a toggle to only show items you still need to get). it's not perfect as it can only do one item at a time, but it's very useful if you're making a complicated recipe or mass crafting one thing!
I would love to see them expand the currency tabs. All the raid tomes and expert totems and alliance raid coins, pretty much any item that has no other use than to buy another item or gear goes in currency tab.
Absolutely! I've been so spoiled by other MMOs doing this that it makes me actively angry that FFXIV has so many currencies that clutter the inventory.
I would love for a dye chart/wheel to be added that is set to a separate storage just for dye, rather than stacked slots in our inventory. They could base it, of course, on what players have in that inventory, as to not hurt the player economy. This would especially help now that we're getting dual dye channels.
Absolutely, or a dyes section in the glamour dresser so you can just store them there like you would a piece of armour.
This would free up my entire chocobo inventory 'caure right now it's just my dye inventory
I'd love for the blacklist to work on a per-account basis rather than per-character. Would stop a lot of toxic behaviours.
This would have been useful a few years ago. Spent alot of time in the sprout chat, getting all of my classes to current content before moving on and I remember we had to deal with a particularly dedicated troll. He loved coming into the chat and spamming spoilers to the new players or just being an absolute ass to people. Because of how the ban system works for the chat, he was able to come back after 30 min and you knew it was him because he always entered the chat with "I'M BACK BABY." I'm not even joking. I remember one mentor giving up on the game because this guy would not give up. He even started making alts just to hop back into the chat early.
If you're curious, he's been on many servers and he was last seen on the adamantoise server.
Force cutscenes for dungeons and raids - if theres a first timer in there. To make up for it, you get the first timer bonus (much larger for Praetorum). If there isnt, auto skip or whatever, no bonus but you get it done that much faster. I dont mind watching boss intros every now and again, especially if there's a sprout gushing about shit. Heck I'm usually that sprout when catching up to recent content!
Only reason I'd be against this is that it would cause me to drop my umbral hearts and stacks on blm
I'd expand on the bait box idea and have a materia bag similar to how elemental shards are handled. It would free up a lot of inventory space even if it only held low level materia. Maybe also a bag to store any crafting materials, but that might be asking too much of the game servers.
But how would they sell you extra retainers?
I second the materia bag idea. Idk how much effort it would be to make the ui for it, but to have it work similar to the elemental shard storage would be amazing.
A QoL feature I'd like to see is having the dungeon queue timer pause whenever you enter a cutscene.
I can't tell you how many times I queued for something while levelling a DPS job, went to do a side quest in the mean time, and the queue pops while I'm 2 minutes deep into a 5 minute long dialogue exchange at the end of the quest.
I had to let sooooo many queue timers run down and get penalties just so I didn't skip over the cutscenes.
Wouldn't that make everyone else have to wait for multiple minutes? I think it would be better if it removed you from the queue while you're in a cutscene or dialogue. The queue would never pop while you're talking to NPCs so you wouldn't need to rush through dialogue or make others wait for you.
@@NuchiAsaki no dude, think, it would be like you letting someone go ahead of you in the queue, but you can still keep your place in it
@@NuchiAsaki Even then, getting removed from the queue when you're #1 or #2 in the waiting list just because of a cutscene would lead to people avoiding doing anything for fear of losing their spot. I think that would make waiting for duties a bad experience either way
@@aeoyndjuric1679 This makes sense. But I wonder if having too many people holding a spot unecessarily on the queue would strain the servers (eg. Multiple people abusing this)
Imagine you get called into a dungeon when you just started the cutscene for The Parting Glass
I started playing about a year before EW came out, its really interesting seeing how much this game has changed, and how much it could still change.
I'm only a casual fisher in the game, but a bait bag would be game changing.
Not just that but more data on what specific fish likes this kind of bait.
@markpotts7186 This. It can't be the intention that googling which bait to use is by design.
I'd add that equipment book. I love completing collections and would actively try to fill them with every piece of gear. And I don't even care about the glamour aspect.
The EXP fatigue is still in the game, in the form of rested EXP, in practice it ends up being the same values etc, but ppl respond better to thinking they're getting a "bonus" from being logged out
Wasn't adding this limitation like mandate back in the day in some countries? So people don't spend like the whole day playing a game
No they are not the same in practice they are vastly different concepts. One is a reward one is a punishment. One slows down the rate at which you level, the other has zero impact on it.
Getting a bonus to exp gained for time you spent logged out just compensates you for the time you did not spend on the game. There is zero punishment to this method, and it does not give you incentive to log out. It simply says hey, if you do log out, we'll help you out a little. Not a lot.
Reducing the amount of xp gained if a person plays too long is directly punishing, and depending on how big the percentage reduction is, could effectively make playing over the "effective period" a complete waste of time.
Rested xp is completely different. You can play for 100 hours straight and you aren't losing out on anything. Playing with normal xp is still more effecient than logging out for 20 hours to get 3 hours of rested xp.
They are entirely different.
@@hokagejason4732While it's possible for them to be different, in practice, it's far more likely the two are identical, given that it's far easier to just relabel some stuff to change perception than to actually change the underlying system. It's far more likely that the standard levels of xp were renamed to bonus xp, and the punishment levels of xp were renamed to be the standard level. The system is the exact same, just perceived differently.
@hokagejason4732 the difference is solely in terms of presentation, by presenting is as a bonus you earn it makes the play feel good about, even if the numbers could be exactly the same where they just assume you start at the full rested bonus and then lose it as if it was a fatigue system.
That being said, presentation actually is hugely important, and a feature like this is THE example of that
@@GameHero152 It's just the terms used. You get more xp for a while, then you get less xp. The framing is just more positive.
I think they need to clean up the Grand Company system. As it stands, the only reason to do Grand Company stuff is the daily turn ins, scrapping dungeon gear to get items for relics, and squadron manuals. The fact that free company buffs don't cross servers is the only reason some people have maxed out their rank in the Grand Companies.
In addition to squadron buffs, the real reason to max out your Grand Company is to get the various workout emotes for doing squats, situps, and pushups.
Similar to the glam dresser idea, I have always wanted dyes to be something you use and then 1 pot of it gets added to an internal tally. That would not only save up on space, it would also help out when setting glams on your glam plates, since you have to have the dyes in your inventory to dye and you probably don't, forcing you to fetch it at best and leave to buy one at worst
I wouldn't mind, too, if purchasable dyes could just be done with gil from your stash rather than having to physically go buy the pot of dye from the vendor that unlocked it. Doubly so for the dyes that you have to buy from ARR beast tribes
Materia needs its own storage place as well. There are so many in the game, and using lower level materia on lower level characters almost never happens, because after a point, there's so much that your storage/inventory doesn't warrant keeping it. Also, there are some uses for lower level materia for crafting/gathering that warrant keeping them all as well, so having more space to be able to keep them, and even separating them by color, would be amazing.
Well since you already mentioned a wardrobe catalogue for glamour skins, I'll just pull the next feature from GW2 that needs to come to this game from my list and say that we need some sort of account-wide storage that all of your characters can access. Whether it's bank space, retainers that everyone can use, or even just being able to mail things between your own characters, we need some way to move things around that doesn't involve either having access to an FC bank or finding someone to play middleman with the mailing system.
If I could add one and only one thing it would be stacking armory bonus. Right now I'm leveling my BLM and have a lot of ARR/HW classes not leveled. I actually don't want to run roulettes anymore. It's not fun. But it is fun to play new classes. So it seems very intuitive to me to make armory bonus stacking. The more classes you've already leveled, the more bored from leveling you are. And so the quicker the leveling should be.
4:28 one good sign is that they HAVE implemented this feature, on the Island Sanctuary, for furnishings. Ever since the Island update that implemented the decor options, I've been wondering if this is how they're going to increase item slots in regular housing...and if so, then it could also be implemented for glamours.
Sometimes all it takes is a lot of players pointing out the obvious via suggestions...
I have to wonder, too, if the problem comes from the system glamors were built on to begin with
The Glamor Catalog! Having a record of every piece of gear you have obtained to use as a Glamour piece without it having to take up slots is perfect
one feature I could have right now? Basically the wow transmog idea. Though another thing I'd like just for my own loot-goblin brain is an inventory entirely dedicated to store confetti items. Indigo stars, heavensward poppers, all that. In one separate inventory. Because it'd be fun to actually collect them then without taking up tons of inventory space. As well as lessening the sting for players when they get it as random rewards from things like potd or bozja.
this so much.... yeah i know i'm a hoarder and don't need the fireworks but do you really need to charge me fucking $5.99 a month to hold onto them???? like come tf on...
Concerning the TP, it was a holdover from 1.0 where TP would instead build up and then allow you to use a weaponskill that had a TP cost related to it. It was the way it was implemented in FFXI where weaponskills were more like special moves you could use once in a while instead of your basic skillset. Nowadays, TP has pretty much been phased into specific job gauge for both tanks, melee and ranged DPS which kind of serves a similar purpose (using more powerful / unique abilities) with the difference being the way that they're built up being part of the job identity itself.
I still miss having an AST using Arrow on a Monk... which now that there's no more TP, would have been much more awesome every so often.
As for what I'd like added to FFXIV? Chat bubbles. Make it easier to see who's talking by having a bubble pop over your character with either the full text or at least a good part of the text shown. NPCs already uses them for flavor text in cities and places like that and I know there are mods that accomplishes this too. On the plus side, Preach did confirm with YoshiP in at the NA Fanfest that they were coming.
Honestly, chat bubbles work for in game chat.
Phantasy Star Universe and PSO2 use them, and it makes it super easy to pick out who's talking at any given moment, and if you're in a party, your party members chat bubbles take precedence in displaying over others, and can be seen from an infinite distance away, even if they're in another load zone.
It can affect performance a bit though, as a lot of chat bubbles popping in and shrinking away causes a lot of slowdown in heavily populate areas on PSO2, so I can understand giving them a limited implementation, like party/dungeon only type stuff in 14.
Chat bubbles would crash Limsa and Gridania…you teleport in and just see massive chat bubbles about ERP….
Pass
A Glamour Log. That's actually a perfect name for it.
To implement it, you don't need much data, all you need is a list of integers; if the game has 2048 wearable items, this will need about 8KB per character (or preferably per account).
These integers will be a list of 'item' Ids that uniquely identify items in the game, with #5 probably being something like the midlander's starting underpants.
We don't need any extra information, like dyes (though last used dye would be cool for reapplication), materia, soulbonding, repair, relic upgrades (though I suspect these are tracked in quest state anyway), and so on.
Assuming they've got 50 million characters, split across many data centers - they'll need just shy of about 400GB of storage to store 8KB per character.
That said, the glamour dresser as I understand it stores a lot more than just 800 item Ids, so the reality should be a lot less than that estimated 400GB worst case.
Yeah exactly, claiming that it's a data issue sounds really bizarre. Even if it's concern about introducing more data being exchanged with the server it shouldn't matter as it would be only accessible in Inn room shards, and well few KB of extra data being transferred is nothing nowadays.
I really don't believe explanation that it's because of technical limitations tbh, if they wanted to do it they would like they did with many other "impossible" systems. Even Fishing Log is almost the same thing - you unlock new fish in real time while playing the game and there are hundreds of those.
That being said IMO real reason is to keep artificial item limit to sell more retainers for real money.
@@FrozenPear There's a lot of such logs, though I was thinking more along the lines of Mounts, Minions, TT Cards, Orchestration Scrolls, master books, and a half dozen other such collectibles.
This is basically the system WoW switched to, and it goes so far as to remember this information account-wide, so even if I'm making a new character on a new server, I'll still have all the appearances I've unlocked on old characters.
There's no reason some version of this can't be done for FFXIV.
I'm not gonna claim to know exactly what I'm talking about but according to google FF14 has just shy of 50 million players. it's unclear if this is accounts or created characters. Assuming its accounts, each account can have up to 40 characters per data center and there's 4 data centers meaning each account could, in theory have 160 characters.
This means you'd have to times the storage needed by 160 to a total of 64 terabytes just for the current players. granted it's incredibly unlikely every player would max out their character slots it's still something that'd have to be accounted for just in case.
But if many other MMO can have a catalog feature, some of which rake in significantly less than FF14 I have to assume there's a much less storage intensive solution out there anyway.
@@korrokemono9006 I pulled that 50 million out of my ass, good to know that's at least in the right ballpark, lol!
There are optimisations that can be done; take that 2048 items example, with some clever use of arrays, this can be represented within a 256 byte payload.
While that doesn't do much for server side storage - an MMO is basically a database in game form afterall - this form of data is incredibly susceptible to hoffman coding and other forms of lossless compression.
That said, that 400GB is a total, and will in practice be subdivided across datacenters.
Another thing about the SMN and SCH pets was they would count for spliting damage for split damage AoEs, as it was common to run both from Coils 5, so someone could solo a fireball with them. For those who don't know, the number of people who get fireballed made another abitily cast by that boss happen faster on how many "players" wore hit, but the pets weren't players so they could split damage but not speed up the next cast too much. Which would often kill the team back in 2.0/2.1.
One thing I'd like to see added to the game is a "lite" version of the dungeon journal from WoW - where instead of having mechanics and everything it'd just show what loot drops from each boss (and standalone chest), because there's probably some really cool pieces hidden away in some random dungeon and it'd be nice to actually be able to find that out a bit easier
while as nice as that is it would ruin what makes part of this game great and this learning things blind something that is completely gone in wow
@@cyanmage1 I mean, I did say "instead of having mechanics, it'd just show boss (and chest) *drops* "
@@cyanmage1 He just want loot previews, not mech previews.
Battlemage gear from Brayflox….awesome look that newer players rarely see.
@@BlakeAustin2011 after thinking about it yeah your right sorry I wish we had that there is so many glams that people just don't know about because its from some dungeon no one runs
The ONE thing I want them to add for 7.0 is that if you are level 30 and above...you HAVE to have equipped your job stone to queue in for any content. I'm currently running my mentor roulette for my mount and the amount of level 50+ people that I get in content WITHOUT their job stone is insane. If they cannot implement this change then I would settle for the job quests being made mandatory along side the MSQ. I realize people do "no job stone" challenges so maybe adding a toggle for Party/Duty Finder alongside would make everyone happy but please...no more level 50 gladiators/conjurers in alliance raid roulette...
So when I started playing back in Shadowbringers 3 years ago, I started with the free trial on one of the level 70 EXP buff servers. I was a level 54 marauder before I even unlocked jobs (since they're now gated by MSQ progress, and you have to get through the sylph stuff) and it sucked not having all of these skills available. And some of the ARR level 50 dungeons you can pick up before completing 2.0, like Amdapor Keep or the one with all the tonberries, so it's possible that new players could queue for dungeons like that with only their basic level 50 class abilities available.
Still though, I know of at least one asshat who levels up purely as a lancer because of some stupid RP bullshit "Estinien is the only dragoon" thing when they're really just trolling, so yeah. Once you get past MSQ content that you'd normally have your job stone for, it should be required/auto-equipped for the classes that don't have it by default anyway.
Back in 2.0, when you became a job with the stone equipped, there were certain class skills and traits you lost. Paladins at 30 especially suffered from this, and it showed in Brayflox and Titan. Many paladins would unequip and become gladiator to have more abilities for tanking that dungeon and primal. It is no longer necessary, but it used to be common. Some people would then just forget to reequip.
My one thing will absolutely never happen because it involves changing how parties are coded.
I would add "Support" as a job type. I played FFXI for 12 years, and while I dabbled in a little of everything, my bread and butter were Bard and Red Mage. My Bard was fully kitted with both super instruments (Gjallarhorn and Daurdabla) and all RME daggers. I miss being the MP battery, the melee DPS's best friend, and the reason for so many successes. I really wish this game had hard coded "support" jobs with their own icon and everything.
The accuracy charts were especially wild with how the accuracy changed per-fight in a tier, so you would have different actual BiS values for each fight. It was also kind of funny being ranged and having pseudo-positionals because it was optimal to not gear for max hit on the front, so despite being in the middle of nowhere, depending on how the tank turned the boss, you might need to run 1/4 across the arena to reach the flank or something.
My one thing (that isn't something that other people will have already said) is actually a new game type for the Gold Saucer (and not blitzball) that I would call "Minion Tactics". It would play very similar to battles in Final Fantasy Tactics, you would use your minions as you would your characters. The models, attacks, and stats are all implemented to a degree for Lord of Verminion, and I think it could be an interesting way to get minions to be relevant again.
Thanks for the vid Rinon! I always enjoy them
Thank you so much!
I honestly just want AST to have its pure healer and shield healer stance back. this was the main reason i started playing AST.
It really feels like they are just trying to make every class a generic version of the role. Like healers and tanks are kinda unique, but nothing that really makes them stand out from each other.
I do wonder if part of the change was just that shield astro was pretty rare. I think the overwhelming majority of astros I ran into in duty finder played diurnal, even when paired up with a white mage
All they had to do was buff noct sect… but they axed it instead to fit a boring shield vs regen design. I’m terrified and hopeful for the rework, it’s either gutted completely, or given it’s identity back. Maybe even make the card seals matter, at all.
Honestly whm and astro are more barrier healers then sge/sch because most of their shields are gcd moves and how much raiders now care about ogcd heals more.
The reason this happened is because of the balancing nightmare theyve had with healers from day 1. WHM didn't have too much issue, but SCH had the problem of sharing a lot of abilities with SMN, so a buff or nerf would affect both of them, then AST came out and it was the definition of unbalanced with the card system. They don't want one healer to be too much better or worse than the others, because they dont want groups discriminating like that, its why they also got rid of the old card system.
I have a few things I'd like to see:
1 - I'd like if when you remove someone from your Friends List, it removed you from theirs, and without notification to avoid drama.
2 - I'd love that idea of being able to glam any non-specific gear to any class/job, if I wanna be a RDM who looks like a Knight/Spellblade, I should be able to.
3 - I want more hoods and Tribal-Style gear, I play a Hrothgar and would like something akin to the Ronso outfits from FFX.
I'd like the relic to be available earlier in the expansion. I've usually done all relevant content by the time the relic is actually usable. Be nice if it was more than just a nice glam.
The only problem with this, is that it would render doing savage fights pointless when you can just do the relic.
There's a reason the relic is a half step below the weapons you get from trading in the blades from each normal fight, up until the very end of the expansion where the relics pull ahead or alongside the fully upgraded raid weapons.
relic are for the casual non raiders to get a weapon that on that level well after the raids are over, its never the best weapon till the very end of the expansions its been like this since 2.0
I think this of the artefact armor. It would be nice if I could use the new artifact armor for the expansion while I still have things to do beside waiting for post expansion contentent
it would be cool if they made “unreal” as a toggle-able option when choosing a duty, so if you wanted to do old savage or ex fights it would upscale and you could actually do them again
Remember when cooldowns did not reset when you wiped to a boss, and you had to wait pre pull until everyone was ready to go?
Or when you had to wait for your healers to use Protect/Stoneskin on everyone before pulling?
Or, my personal favorite, when the teleport system didn't have a "store" feature and you had to immediately accept it or decline it, and you'd automatically decline it if you were mounted (and couldn't teleport while mounted)?
Casting protect/stoneskin had a satisfying sound and visual effect. Arguably it made the healer feel more important. You still have to wait to pull for certain classes now. It's dps we have to wait on rather than support.
I still have a video of my static doing Alexander savage and having to communicate how long we had on cooldowns between killing Faust and pulling Refurbisher
Yes, I do remember the things mentioned in the previous video. The teleport one wasnt though that's a good one to bring up.
Better inventory management (tackle/bait box crafting bag for crafting mats materia bag food box for buff food and drinks etc) I know very unlikely but still
I'd like to see a separate crafting inventory. The moment you start mass crafting, you understand how small your inventory is.
bait bag bait bag bait bag bait bag
My chocobo has been my bait bag since 5.55 lmao, literally 100% nothing but bait.
As largely a fisher main I fully support this idea.
Only thing I want/need, especially as a crafter, storage space. And you're right on about the Rings.
Bring back functional carbys! They do nothing but sit there waiting for you to cast their attack (they dont even auto attack!), or transform into something else lol
Used to solo stuff like hunt marks or FATEs with my tank carby and healer chocobo and had lots of fun doing it LOL.
I wonder if they'll pour all the lost pet management stuff into Beastmaster in 7.X...
@@pedroscoponi4905 yanno what, I'd settle for that!
This 100%
at least let yellow pet be a tank again
There were plenty of complaints about pet behavior, which seems at least partially an engine limitation. Even speaking as someone who started in Shadowbringers, there were already plenty of times I hit Enkindle and the pet would either not respond or wait 2-3 GCDs before acting. And there was rarely any reason to have pets other than Ifrit-Egi out; you rarely saw Titan or Garuda.
I'm kind of in the opposite camp, and would rather they just delete carbuncle entirely because it only does putting the shield on you.
I enjoy the tiling you've done with your ele materia storage.
Definitely would love a crafter storage and gatherer storage... Not just fisherman box.
Thank you for putting fleeting moment as the song made me have flashbacks to my p11s prog
One thing to bring back? That's really rough because there's two things for me that are about even. Healers being engaging to dps with and hate management.
Since the first one is a little nebulous and both of these complaints stem from post Stormblood changes anyway, I will go with hate management.
I miss hate management. It was a teamwork check. Tanking was more interesting when hate was fragile and maximizing the groups DPS meant you needed to have good control of hate. I understand the "Ninja mandatory" meta of it was a problem, but that was fixable with better Hate control on other classes. Knowing when to dump hate as a DPS or how to properly maintain it with a tank was fun.
I feel like now would be the best time to bring hate management back as a feature. The reason it was horrible before was because it was needlessly jank.
But with stance dancing gone, and more abilities standardized, it would be nice to bring it back.
I think you forget that the meta was for tanks to never use tank stance and even bad tanks would do that not really understanding how the top end players were generating aggro so the removal of tank stance and aggro was honestly the best thing they could of done since the skill gap was getting to vast for such a small gain, and as a redmage in stormblood I would have to hold back all the time to not tip aggro during dungeons or ex trials once i got some gear
@@JeremyS.-ug3sp I would rather play a game were classes are homogenized and balanced vs a game like wow were class balance swings so wildly you get locked out from playing the thing you enjoy, plus while it might be homogenized in ff14 it all feel different my monk doesn't feel like my dragoon, my summoner sure as hell doesn't play like my redmage as with any ranged dps, even the healers feel different now the only one I will give you is tanks those kinda feel the same to me so you get that one
@@JeremyS.-ug3sp who is us and once again nothing really is the same you are jsut stupid if you think fishing for procs on dancer is the same as building a burst window on mch, or rotating between fire and ice phases on blm is anything like summoner 1 button spam for 30 seconds then spam another button, so don't even pretend you speak for anyone other then yourself and if you still think jobs are the same then you are stupid and no one can help you
I want more job quests for older jobs, even if it's just one larger story quest as a way to catch up with your old job trainers/friends. (making it one job quest at 90, one at 95 and one at 100 for DT for instance would be a good balance imo.) They could take some of the mostly pointless side quest dev time for it :P
There are some OG roles that I'd rather be than the job that it becomes. Specifically, archer,rogue, and lancer.
@@markpotts7186 I get the feeling Viper was created because of a similar reason. Many people didn't like Rogue -> Ninja, so maybe that will fill that spot. Hunter as an alternative to Bard would be cool too.
Real, role quests are cool and all but i miss my job mentors
Even if they "concluded" the job stories with epilogue quests in ShB, they still could have added some quests where you in search of your "ultimate" spell, which quest unlocks you at max lvl, for example. Would be cool to have some "demi-ultima" for blm for example
For actual mechanical changes I want a 'currency' tab for totems and relic materials so they stop clogging my invetory.
Glamour materia could be interesting. Like when you slot it into an item it would add some kind of visual effect like sparkles or fire to a piece of gear.
The one thing I'd love to have back is Cleric Stance. I sure did love swapping to cleric stance, triple dotting a pack and tossing down a shadowflare, it made SCH feel like a dps/healer hybrid.
At least it's in bozja :P
Bring back tank dps stance as well, I remember always being the off tank bcs I mained warrior back in 3.0 and it was the highest dps of the 3 tanks at the time.
Cleric stance was only a thing because healer damage spells were int scaled while healing was mind. It wasn’t a damage buff as much a janky work around and wouldn’t make sense anymore.
Stances arent really needed on healers anymore but actual basic dps mechsnics would go a long way. Broil spam makes me want to die.
@@WeTheWoundedBut it did separate the top tier players from the weekend warriors. And that’s ok.
The race to not be the last person leaving an Alexander raid so you don't have half a million cogs and springs dumped in your inventory. You'll think you got them all and then a week later you find another on in a corner
2 Changes I would love to have, both Duty related:
1. Let us queue up as more then 1 class. You wanna do dailies and don't care what you're running as? Nice, just click all the jobs you wanna queue as and let luck (and demand) decide for you.
2. If the duty pops, just give me a button that says "Accept and switch to class". I know, this one could be a bit harder to implement bc they would have to put you in there without your gear or somehow get your Gear-Set for the job you picked.
Thought that intro was leading into reading the forums
I still need to emotionally prepare to read the forums :skull:
Put bait's in off-hand armory chest. Axe the gig, make it a key item. Puts the stats on the fishing pole's. Super easy because there's only ever one anyway. Yay, now we have a use for off-hand besides PLD and DoH/L which doesn't even use half the space. Yeah, it won't be a full page but it's a good amount. If they make rings one slot and reduce the armory chest for that, it could help.
Of course, this goes against my original idea to add off-hand glamours to BRD, RDM, MCH, MNK, and NIN. Probably both Viper and Pictomancer in the future too.
I think having portals just after a boss (as it is now) is better. During the run back, people have time to describe mechanics that the party may be having problems with.
You could also just...not pull and let people talk....
kinda have a silly one, but an enemy awareness indicator, like the eye indicator in SWTOR, which will let you know when you're in range of being detected, and turn red when detected.
i remember all the times we'd say goodbye to the summons/fairies/mech minions on the platform during cruisechaser's ATM
i wish cross class skills came back, I will ALWAYS have good memories of dying to a sabotender outside of little ala migho and being too nooby to know what a return or teleport was and thus begging for a rez in shout . A paladin rode up to me and raised me. It's what began my absolute love of paladins in all fiction
The irony of the PLD in XIV not being a holy light warrior in the lore, yet coming off as it by its abilities and gear.
I remember I very first started playing back when stormblood came out (I didn't really get into the game proper until a bit later though) and refused to play physical classes because I didn't want to deal with TP.
If could have one thing added, please please show the shields on the player health bar. Im a tank player and I do not look into the party list for my health. I dont want to be stressed or scared or scream at my healers in panic when a tb is coming, I only see 30% health while I actually have a full shield. Using simple tweaks for showing shields makes it so much more relaxing
There are a lot of QoL changes that I use plugins to change, like having the area background art on teleport loading screens, or shields showing up on your main health bar rather than exclusively on the party list. There's even a really cool one I found that lets you edit the title screen to be in game areas, with presets for all of the previous expansion's title screens (which should already be in the game as the title screen will change depending on the last opening movie you watched, albeit only once.) It would probably be a good idea to have the devs look at those plugins (which at least I would assume normal people with programming experience were able to implement pretty cleanly, I would imagine the actual devs could do that as well even if they require a higher quality to the features.)
But if I had to pick only one thing it would be Chat Bubbles for players. The only reason I see not to implement it in theory would be that densley populated areas would get filled by chat bubbles, but in practice it works fine. Worst case it's linked to what text is in the chat box, and best case it could have it's own settings for what you want to show up or not. It's such a little thing, but I genuinely can barely imagine the game without it and I would love for it to be a permanent thing.
great video! i loved this and your previous one. i'm someone who joined fairly late into the game, but was introduced to ffxiv by my girlfriend who's been playing since ARR. i've heard all the horror stories of things long since gone! haha
atleast ff14 has a shortcut in dungeons in wow there are some dungeons where you need to run from the start while the timer is ticking.
lets be happy we got atleast a shortcut😅
One feature I’d love added (and you mentioned it as well) is a WoW-style glam system. It just works very well and allows for another nice collectible deep-dive!
A quick way to sort any list in a menu. IE one click sort all my gear sets by item level. Sorting my gear-set list manually is a nightmare sometimes. This could also be used to fix the annoying tribe crafting list. On the left side of the crafting window every group starts with the older content at the botom of the list and newer grouping at the top. With the exception of the tribe crafting groups. Which is backwards. It blows my mind and triggers my OCD a little bit that to this day Ixali Tribe crafting recipes are at the top of the Tribe Quest section and the Loporrits are at the bottom.
The Transmog catalogue in wow isnt just every piece of gear youve collected. its every piece of gear in the entire game and it also tells you the method to find gear you have not obtained yet, usually what boss or dungeon drops the piece of gear youre looking for
I'm only okay with relic gear locked to a job cause there are a lot of boots and jackets I want to pass but I also love the identity of the red mage classic outfit tied only to red mage. I would add a personal music selection for at least mounts. Some mount songs I adore but it gets old fast.
You can turn off mount music.
You can still somewhat do the Succor deployment today. But it needs a PLD with Cover to keep the shield alive on a party member.
Something really small and simple i want is dyeable Nomad gear. From what i understand, the data mined version of the gear is actually dyeable but ther version in game isnt. Since this gear is also from Bardem Mettle which is already not well liked, i doubt we will see a re-release of it anytime soon but tge casting coat is such a top teir looking glam and i really wish it was dyeable
Another thing you missed was how in early ARR maiming gear had a lower magic defense rating but a higher physical defense stat so inherently DRG would take MORE magic damage than a MNK. The most famous example of this and what caused these stats to be equalized was how in the final coil of Bahamut (T13,) when people were progging the fight. DRG was literally UNABLE to survive certain mechanics like Earthshaker and the final transition of Teraflare because their magic defense stat on their gear was that much lower than MNK. MNK also was the only class with the ability to reduce magic damage via Dragon Kick as Dragon Kick would reduce the intelligence stat by 10% in addition to the blunt resistance. Crazy times 😂
I loved the early version of Summoner. Where you had your pet attack alongside you as you fight. And the reason for its change/removal was because you could cheese certain fights with Titan-Egi. The main one being Ramuh Extreme, when it took considerably less damage than tanks. You could have a 6-DPS; 2-healer fight that when it first came out.
That wasn't summoner. I'm glad that version is gone. That was wow warlock
6:33 I think a valid reason why this isn't implemented is because if and when you die to a boss, the long journey back should give you some time to reflect on why you wiped and perhaps even think of a different plan. This is especially so in a queued dungeon with 3 other real people. As much as it might seem like a quality of life bonus, I think people overlook the punishment that helped them think of alternate solutions. The more painstaking a punishment, the less likely you would want to make the same mistake that lead to it.
Collection logs for stuff like mounts and minions, maybe even with a hit on how to get them if you don't have it yet.
What I would like to see in Final Fantasy XIV is something Housing related. If this is already in game please let me know. I would like to see something like stand in "Dolls" of main and side characters such as Y'Shlola, Sadu and Lyse. You could have them placed in various rooms of the house. An example of this is look at the Star Wars the Old Republic MMO, in their housing system you can purchase and place characters in your house to give a bit of lively look. They did nothing more than just stand in one spot and really did not have any idle animations. They just were there and you could RP with them in the room (Hopefully this makes some sense) But that is what I would ask for in XIV right now if it is not already there.
Yeah, there's enough ERP clubs. They're not gonna give you waifu mannequins to lewd.
For the fishing baits, I recently remembered the existence of the chocobo bag. I felt kinda dumb when I realized I forgot about it all this time lol
If they changed the fishing bait box so that it could pull directly from the saddlebag, this would be useful. Currently, you would have to manually shuffle bait from the saddlebag to inventory in order to use it.
The obvious answer is Cross-DC PF, but honestly, I wish every crafter (and maybe even gatherer) beast tribe had the Ixali deliverance system, being able to donate extra crafts/gathers for extra exp outside of the daily allowance would be nice, though the exp you get from the tribes is so huge maybe it wouldn't even be necessary, but still nice nonetheless.
That's basically what crafting leves and collectible turn-ins are for.
One change I would add immediately? Monks getting a ranged attack
and a quick add to phys range getting a small dash gap closer similar to dancer en avant. too many times being max range and suddenly and suddenly boss is on the other side doing a massive cleave. but totes agree to monk having a range, like a chi blast or something
Something I would ask for is the separation of FC specific features, such as personalized rolling buffs.
The thing about the fairy I miss was being able to directly control who they healed with a mouse over macro. It made me super efficient on controlling the healing, having my fairy being able to off heal or preempt healing a dps who is going to be hit harder while still focusing on my tank…
As someone whos casually getting into hunts I think it would be good to have S-ranks spawn with 4 minutes of invuln to prevent early pulls. And also have B-ranks be worth something. Even if they only dropped 1 or 2 hunt currencies.
The only thing I want is individual combat expression in classes. Every SAM is the same, every DRG is the same. So on. I think if we had mastery trees or allowed for cross-class skills again, it would allow for this. Complaining that this would ruin balance is a falsehood, there are still classes at the bottom and top of dps charts. Complaining "everyone is just going to take the best skill" well people didn't stop playing MCH when it was shit for several patches, did they? As long as the balance allows them to clear, it's fine. People can pick for flavor, just like they do classes, as long as it isn't a massive gimp.
If nothing else, cross-role would be interesting to me. To take role actions from other roles. Tanks could take second wind or bloodbath (though DRK or PLD with Lucid Dreaming could be funny); dps could take rampart, provoke, or raise; healers could take rampart, or... something.
The exp debuff for playing to much wasn't really removed. It just got converted into an exp buff the longer you don't play. It's the blue exp bonus you get while you stand in sanctuary.
So it wasn't really removed, just reworked so our simple brains didn't feel demotivated to play.
One feature I would like to see as a Tank is ninja pulling DPS get insta killed if they pull too far ahead of the party, Tank Tanks, DPS do Damage, HEALER Heals.
It's not rocket science, or at least give all tanks a Rush or Leap ahead skill to get ahead of ninja dps with less lag than me. Actually just give all Tanks the speed jump/rush etc from the first dungeon lvl,would save so much aggro (literally).
I seem to spend more effort racing the ninjas just to keep control of the mobs, and they wonder why queues are so long.
Rant over, nice video I do remember some of those early "features" and I don't miss any of them.
The "Accuracy" stat is technically still in the game to this day. It has just been tied to 'character level vs mob level', and if your level is equal to, or higher than the mobs level, then you have 100% accuracy. You can test this by attacking a training dummy that is higher level than you and you will notice some of your GCD attacks will completely miss.
the worst thing the devs ever did to the game was the endwalker combat rotation changes.
I'd love for there to have a "skip unskippable cutscene vote".
Let's say 4 people get queued up for main scenario roulette and they've all completed ARR. You could vote for the cutscene to be skipped if you've already seen it, and everyone else could. IF EVERYONE votes for the CS skip, the cutscene gets skipped.
New players who are going through the MSQ won't get this feature until after they've completed that dungeon once.
So if a DPS is trying to pressure a new player to skip the long cutscene? Too bad, they're gonna wait for the new player to finish the CS.
I'd personally love a means to streamline desynthing multiple items. When I'm clearing out my armoury chest, my usual method for getting rid of stuff I don't want is to hand things in at the Grand Company and then desynth the stuff that can't be handed in that way. The catch is that desynthing multiple items is done one item at a time for 99% of the time since most items that can be done with it don't stack in the inventory, such as equipment.
Something like how handing in items for the Doman Restoration would work. Select 10 items, then confirm that you want to desynth all of them and the game will do it in one shot. Hell, make it a retainer function so you can immediately sell whatever desynth results that you don't want to keep.
If they added one thing, I'd want a "Catching your breath" buff added. When you exit combat it would automatically be applied and last 10 seconds and when its falls off you ALL your cooldowns reset. But if you enter combat before that your cooldowns are unaffected. This means people are more encouraged to use their buffs and such on mob pulls, thinking of tanks with mitigation here mostly and not have to wait before a boss pull to have your full kit back. Sure minor balancing tweaks would need to happen, but I'm sick of being rushed through when I'm tanking by impatient people.
If I could have any one thing added right now it'd be one of two things
-Transmog system like in WoW, I'm sad that it'll probably never happen like you said in the vid but there's SO much beautiful armor in this game it makes me so mad to have to limit myself to just a few because the glamour system is so undercooked. I don't care if the item has to be destroyed to be added to my glamour log, if I have to pay company seals or prisms, it would be SO good...
-A Materials bank where I can just throw in any mats and they'll be pulled automatically when I craft something, the amount of times I've farmed a low level mat to craft 1 or 2 things, then threw it out or sold it because "well I don't have the space to keep all that shit" only to need it a day or two later for another completely different craft is mind boggling
Oh throwing an Adlo on the fairy was really funny because it wouldnt be affected by Rathalos negating healing so you could give people shields in second phase
Big thing i'd want added. If you are crafting next to a Summoning Bell, let you just use your retainer inventories as your own for the purposes of what materials are available. as it is RN it's awful going down the list of required materials, going "Search for item", open your retainer list, the search menu vanishes for no reason so now gotta check your chat and hope that isn't going quickly to find all your items and do it over and over and over Just to craft your food for another raid night
In 1.0 failing a meld not only destroyed the materia you were trying to meld...it destroyed the ITEM and all the materia already on it, and you only got ONE guaranteed melt, with subsequent meld chances reducing drastically. That full meld crown was actually a HUGE bragging rights item back then. I crafted like 100 electrum needles and blew up most of them until i finally won my crown. The final meld chance was 1-6% depending on the item and materia. Materia was actually MUCH more important back then too with raid groups often refusing invites unless you had fully melded gear... no big deal to just blow up a few poeces of armor until you got lucky, right? WRONG! Because best in slot gear came exclusively from BRUTAL speedrun dungeon runs (majority of players couldn't achieve this, and if you had ONE not-good player on your party, you couldn't achieve it either), and only ONE person per run would get ONE piece of the gear. And though it was a "speedrun", they would take about 2 hours of preparation and 1 hour to actually do it...if you didn't mess up and have to start over. The next best thing was NM gear, where you would have to search an entire zone for a particular monster who may or may not appear that day, and hope your party can 'tag' it before another party does, then hope you win the roll on the rare material, then find someone skilled enough at crafting (it was NOT easy back then), and hope they didn't break it......THEN have that crafter meld it for you...only to likely blow it up.
If I could add anything from XI to XIV, it would be the Subclassing system. I loved being able to pair up my White Mage or Blue Mage with something that would round it out or be fun to do, like Blue Mage/Beastmaster (BLU/BST) was just fun to play, being able to throw attacks at monsters while using monsters to fight with me too lol.
I also wish some of XIV's PvP classes would be how the actual class functions, like Red Mage being able to switch between White and Black to either increase healing or dps and I feel like it gives players more choice than "pocket healer/rez"
That's kind of what the cross class system used to be, though, and I feel like they dropped it because they wanted to have all jobs have access to certain skillsets regardless of if you play any other jobs.
I can remember the days of running into melees who didn't have invigorate because they didn't level dragoon or didn't have goad because they didn't level ninja, and almost no one had mantra because the level requirement to unlock that from monk was so high.
This was especially true for skills that technically weren't optional on jobs, like having level black mage to get swift cast if you played a healer.
The one, biggest, thing i want to see added is a proper Mouseover system for abilities
Remove from macros, just make it a System option like WoW did with Dragonflight
I'd add a glamour catalogue in a heart beat. Failing that, a search/filter function for the glamour dresser.
In 1.0 you could wear ANY armor at ANY level on ANY job... THAT is how they should make it again. It worked because if you put on gear for the wrong job or too high a level, it would tank the gear's stats... This made it where people absolutely did wear their job/level appropriate gear to fights...but then they'd wear whatever they liked best when they went into town (glamour didn't exist). They need to bring this back.
