Randomly Ridiculous FFXI to FFXIV

[Gokulo]

I did that at release to get to Ramuh But I forced my sister to sit on my comp and spam character creation until it popped out ;p

Caves that should be pitch black but somehow magically are filled with light!

[Mistress Stowastiq]

Batterys, hydrants, ice cream and bullets yet everyone uses blades.

What other ridiculous things you want in FFXIV?

Battle crafters. I want to pull a Jackie Chan/Blu and whip some mob's @ss with a piece of ribbon and some scissors.

I like the longer sunset idea posted here but this might be a bad thing if they are implementing monster storms.

@Roscobel, I am not sure what you mean by the cave/light. Is it kind of like fog spreading light but causing blindness?

[Delirium]

balance between jobs, especially DD jobs
balanced pvp, even though I dont like pvp much.
Summoner job that uses summons fully instead of just 1 or 2 for 10 seconds every 45s.
more variety in each job, as opposed to "Warrior needs to sub this and use this and merit this and blah blah blah"

Femina Subligar/thong update go!

I think relics are fine the way they are, the way they are obtained could be tweaked some so you don't have an entire LS full of people doing Dynamis to get one person a relic, but the numbers seem to be okay. FFXI has been out for what 7 years and some servers are hitting like 100 relics now? That sounds fair.

I just don't think it's okay to put a set number of relics a server can have, especially when some servers can be way more crowded than others. The only thing that should stop you from getting a relic is the time and effort youre not willing to put in it, but that's just me.

I have to agree with this as well. If they had a system that was challenging and took just as long like a series of quests that could be solo'd that would be great. I think cooperative play and working together is great except for instances where you have a massive group of people working their ass off to get one person one thing. That is not fun. I think relics should be soloable but set up to be really hard to get.

Maybe they could make it so that it was a series of instanced quests that HAD to be solo'd. No more collecting of massive quantities of things that was annoying and dumb imo.

The big thing I'm actually hoping for is a much more fleshed out character creation.

I was seriously disappointed in FF11 only allowing you to basically pick a hairstyle and get stuck with the matching face and body. Seriously, some variety would be nice considering I spent ages playing the damn thing.

It's frustrating to try to stand out in a crowd of a thousand look alikes. The only way to be a truly unique character was to pick a hair/face combination that no one would ever use (See: Super Short Haired Hume F)

The Phantasy Star Online series beats the hell out of FF when it comes to this... if Sega can do it, there's no excuse Square can't...

[Ksandra]

I want zones that I don't know whether I'ma live or die when I go in them because there might be 34098450934850936 crawlers on the other side.

Blame the hauberk and turban, not the character model. No hairstyle would make you stand out, unless you're going for the bright pink.

[Erza]

rename the planet, people will think my name's a rip off of it

Nah I think Tsutsumiku has a point. Even when you first set out into the world for the very first time, when you got to Gustaburg/Ronfaure/Sarutabaruta you were greeted by 4+ other people using the same character model. I doubt this will be the case in FFXIV.

[Aristio]

Needs a Lalafell that speaks in Lemericks named Shontata.

I have found that having my name hanging in the air over my head has helped a lot.

I'm willing to bet that we will end up with a smallish fraction of heavily customized characters, but that most will center around the starting types with relatively little customization.

Speaking of names.. That is one thing that I hope carries over from FFXI. No numbers, only 1 capital letter, no letters with accents or other characters. Pisses me off to now other in WoW when someone uses something like "ñóñó" (just an example). I'm sure I'm not the only one that gets irritated by this.

Yeah, accent are kinda stupid, especially when you try to message the person and its not on your keyboard shortcut.

Better PvP, even though I know it won't happen because SE wants it to be PvE oriented. :[

Also, I want female tarus to look...female. I don't want boobs, per se... just like... not the same armor set as the male body, copy and pasted. I want difference. My female taru mule got mistaken for a guy a lot when she wore helmets.

A good example of this was the bathing suits. They pretty much copied the male bathing suit model, and applied a different texture/pattern. It was easily seen, because the female tarus had surfer shorts, unlike the other female races who had bikini bottoms.

[Agito]

Thongs.. I want some thongs even for the Male characters to. Can you imagine a Roegadyn with a G-String? ........

[Puddings]

I want llamas.... lots of llamas. what for i dont no, maybe a llama looking monster or something. but most differently want to see some fucking llamas

[Vuitton]

Thongs.. I want some thongs even for the Male characters to. Can you imagine a Roegadyn with a Manpon sticking out of that G-String? ........

giant bulge ftw. id let my roegadyn run around in those. Better yet, a jock strap. The new subligar. Ass-less subligar.

[Pikarya]

A fishing system that doesn't suck.
