pivot to horizontal progression, vertical progression is unsustainable and makes being behind feel worse with every new patch. no more raising the level cap, allow players to start any expansion they want once level cap has been hit

field content needs to actually exist so players actually group up together to do things as opposed to making the play experience either a visual novel that makes you walk to the next dialogue or a queue timer simulator with 0 in-between

subjobs would allow for actual buildcrafting which is practically nonexistant in the current game, the most fun i ever had playing XIV was leveling blue mage and actually getting to build my skill listp

lot of reviews I've read describe the writing as weak on the negative end or cute and quirky on the positive end and i gotta say Man, if you don't feel these characters in your soul, if you don't Get it then I'm afraid you've never known actual people like this and would probably never be My Friend

genuinely in awe of a game in 2025 having me fight dogs while this guy says corny shit like "You're Mine."
absolute gaming
