If the language barrier between English and Japanese speaking developers wasn't an issue at all, what one thing would you like to ask of them to add/adjust/remove/etc.?

Personally, I've about had it with "Only The Best" quest for San d'Oria / Bastok fame and the NPC's slow-*** animations between trades of Millioncorn. Koru-Moru and his Cornette trading is just so much more quick and painless.

I'd like to hear some other ideas from you. Your move.

I'd like every NPC to function and react the same way. For example...

NPCs like Oseem vs Divainy-Gamainy when it comes to augmenting and trading the NPC things. Trade the item get the option to augment and because you can trade all the stones and choose from what is already stored with them.

Same thing goes for buying things from NPCs, consider say the sparks npc, talk once and continue buying until you're finished VS NPC's like Voidwatch Officers. Spent a lot of time doing VW this past campaign and buying cells was beyond annoying. Talk, choose item, How many of item, then confirm...then menu exits and you have to talk to NPC again and Repeat.


Sure there are probably many more important changes that would be more significant but these were at the top of my head.

But let's go with "zoning shouldn't screw up your communication channels, and linkpearls should not consume inventory".

For real, it really is hurting, in this day and age of fast zoneing.

While the list is massive for ***I'd love to see fixed and/or changed.

Really, spread the players out more evenly. (merges or deportations)

Just for funsies I check the other server shoutbox from time to time... they go 8 hours at a time without a single shout. That's absolutely crazy. (I know that the tracker misses some shouts)

I know it (why it) won't happen, and it's not a spark for a population debate. Just something I would like to see happen.

I would undo all the updates and nerfs from 2004 onward. Content would be completable by simply throwing enough RNG's at it

I would like them to delete the animation when you go in your mog garden en you want to harvest the furrow (for all those anti mog garden people, I know you are with many, it makes a zoom in kinda scene when you select the furrow).

There probably are many more things but I was wondering exactly this yesterday.

Preach, sister. I hate how when I choose "harvest multiple times" or whatever, and it just harvests once. I don't get that. Oh well. Max rank Mog Garden now so it's behind me.

Should enable buying in bulk from NPCs like voiddust, just like prize powders but for all NPCs .

Merge teletransportation systems, home points, books and waypoints.

eliminate the 1 gameday/realday wait for quest/missions/armor upgrades. (not time locked events like omen/Ddyna/Odyssey)

way too much game time its wasted on those millions of prompts and waits, and its been adding up quite a bit over the years.

I'm all for the buying in bulk from NPCs, good point there. I'm ok with unique teleport systems, albeit frustrating. There should be some reward for going after the weird stuff.

While I can't argue with the game prompts and such, I am starting to feel that its partially a cultural difference. I just want it done- I did the pre-reqs and the fetch quest, now lemme finish and move on- vs immersion in the world. But you're damn right- that's days/weeks of game time added up over years of subscription :)

In terms of what I'd change- let me tell my trusts what buffs I want, of course still based on their job. But if I want Koru-Moru to Haste2 vs Flurry2 me on Corsair, I wanna be able to tell him!

They also could add so you can earn like 300~500 deeds of heroism per month.

Make it imprimateur recharge twice or thrice as faster.

Increase twice or thrice the odds for a sucessful synthesis.

Add proper instanced dungeons that can drop random crafting/af materials and is a source of CP and meripo

Or at minimum expand apex mobs outside of adoulin.

One thing jp grinding does reveal is this game can get very repetitive. A daily completable dungeon where every mob gives lots of cp qould make cping less like work and give a much needed boost to the economy by adding more crafting mats, items for sale.

Crafting. The shields really just broke the game, and catered directly to the botters. I know there’s a few legit ones out there, but for the most part it created a bastardized system. Between that and really *** up RNG with the tiers, I’d fix that. There’s no way I should go 1/84 on a tier 1 synth.
