Not from WoW but GW2: a material storage system. FF has such an extensive crafting system, my inventory is constantly bloated with more or less useful materials, I constantly have to check prices if they're worth selling on the market board or not, and it's just kinda frustrating and adds unnecessary inventory management. GW2 has a button in your inventory along the lines of "add all material to storage", and your material storage contains slots for *almost all crafting materials in the entire game* that just get thrown in there (capped to 250 by default, but can be expanded). All crafting stations are able to access them, no need to pick stuff up, realize you're missing something, running back and forth between storage, vendor and marketboard.. it's just such a huge QoL thing for me that the lack of it makes crafting in FF a more unpleasant experience for me.

And then you just log onto your main and accept it. All of my alts are linked to my main this way. I heard they removed the ability to do it, but I haven't tried recently.

Not having a collection system is actually why I don't bother doing savage. That's just too much effort to not have space to store all the job, gatherers and crafters itens.

The Game Calendar is a good call; that would be very handy. Also, like another poster here, I would love to just Jump Everywhere like a damn fool...more than I already do.

The problem with having more raid difficulties is how fast gear would scale. More raids means ilevels increasing faster meaning numbers go crazy sooner than expected. Another problem multiple raid difficulties created in wow was killing raids too fast. People just forget all the other difficulties exist and old raids just die within the content of current expansion even, all due to the huge gap in Ilevels that many difficulties created. Then since you mentioned there is also the queue times. Now you have spread the community into 4 or more different difficulties for the same bosses. Thinning out the community even more and making finding groups for that content harder. In WoW the raids are part of the main story, in FF they're not. People who can't complete the normal raids can just choose not to do them. They cant do that in wow and is why LFR exists.

The thing that I think you missed that FF14 would really benefit, especially for newer players would be the Dungeon/Raid journal that is present in WoW that allow players to see what happened and maybe how to mitigate that problem. Even if FF14 would not introduce it like WoW does (immediately telling you all spells and what they do), they could do something maybe in line with progressive discovery. What I meant by that is as you see a boss do a mechanic, it'll be discovered, maybe at the beginning it would be "Boss casting this does frontal cone", second time you see it would be "It does X amount of damage"...etc This would still allow a sense of discovery whilst not needing the players, especially newer players to having to need to constantly alt-tab or look at another screen for dungeon/raid information. And those that want to help could also say "Hey you can check out the journal which will give you tips on the engagement we just didn't so do well on". Just food for thought for someone who recently started FF14 and mainly play tank.

for dungeons literally every attack is telegraphed (with a few exceptions which 5.3 got rid of aswell, rip Aurum Vale) For raids, the vast majority of normal raid mechanics are telegraphed aswell, while Savage sometimes telegraphs sometimes doesn't but Savage is about learning said fight by trial and error (you can look at guides but that's not the original intent from the devs) Dungeons are never punishing enough to flat out have a journal saying what each and every attack does and howmuch damage it does, for example, every dungeon has a script for each boss "boss uses this at x% HP" you see this come back a lot or just simply run through it's script of attacks till it dies (the grand cosmos is a glaring 1 for that, the boss after his 2nd blue fire mechanic never uses said mechanic even though it could technically keep repeating it) Normal raids are only 8-10 minutes long generally, so having a log for normal raids is kinda pointless since the fight isn't that punishing, how often everyone except 1 healer and 1 tank dies but the healer does LB3 and everyone is back, how often we should've wiped but we didn't (granted you got players who just eat everything they can, an telepgraphed AOE? must stand in it, but then we're talking about them just simply not catching onto simple signs, so more of an intelligence matter imo, with Kefka for example, he will throw everyone for a loop with the reverse mechanic, after 1 usage i instantly think "last time he did this and i correctly dodged it he hit me anyways, so maybe the ? attacks are reversed" so i stand in said AOE and dodge it.

agree. it only works in WoW because of Flex and Mythic being strict 20-man. otherwise Heroic is pointless difficulty, doesn't even have Mythic mechanics its just got higher gear gates than Normal. a proper raid tier would start at "Normal" difficulty and the final wing would be "Heroic" difficulty so even semi-HC can have progression. LFR is there for the casuals to see the assets, no need for Normal to exist to have 100% week 1 clear rates.

The dungeons being synced up to the max level of the expansion. I know WOW just syncs the dungeon to the average level of the party, but I just think max level is easier to go for. Cause throughout Stormblood and Shadowbringers, I absolutely loved the leveling dungeons, especially the one in the azeem steppe where you have to do only mechanics. I'd love to go run those dungeons, but having to lose my kit in the process isn't that fun. And it'd only be for the current expansion, so basically the max level version of these would just be the "hard" mode treatment ARR dungeons got.

The addition of a fun/intuitive glamour system + something similar to Mythic+ would be so huge for this game. First, I LOVE glamour, but after having 8+ classes at max level and trying to keep all the interesting gear for each one has become such a pain to a point where I don't actually like to hunt for cool looking gear anymore. The pain of having to chose what to keep and what to let go is enough to discourage me. And boy, having mythic+ would be awesome. It's the exact type of content that me and all of my friends miss in this game. Something that is challenging and rewarding, but for a small group and that I can do whenever I want without having to compromise a fixed schedule of my week to do it.

Quest sharing between party members! I often do side quests and story quests with a pal, and this was something so small that I miss so much from WoW. Great video, it's interesting to see what the games could use from one another.

I hope that I need not explain why having scaling gear rewards come from it is a bad idea; modern day WoW is plenty exemplary of just why. Other than that, I fully agree.

@@jvlinatocfacebook In FFXIV tabbing to a new target using the closest-to-furtherest option tends to get you the target 20 yards away first and cycles to just about every other target besides the one you want. In WoW it actually targets your closest enemy, generally. Sometimes it'll target the one just a few inches to the left of the closest target, but at least it's not a loading screen away.

My first thing I really want from WoW is toys. I know you kinda covered the collection tab, but I feel like toys on their own deserve recognition. There are so many whacky, fun and cool things in WoW for goofing around. Items that make your character huge for a few minutes, items that make your character tiny, turn them orange, turn them into a crab, let you look like another player, or your pet, makes everyone in the raid to /train, summons a fish that everyone gets to kick around for 5 minutes, and more! There'd be so much potential for whacky shenanigans and fun with toys. My second on is not a part of the game itself but I would love for a Wowhead-like website to become a thing. There aren't really any comprehensive databases like it for FFXIV. In WoW, I can see an item and look it up on WoWhead to learn right away where I need to go or what I need to do to obtain it. Or reverse that and look at a boss to see what it drops. It's quick, it's easy, and there are even tons of guides and stuff too. FFXIV has 2 websites: The Wiki, which is in depth with some things, and then has sparse to zero details on other things, and then you have Eotzea Database on the lodestone where you can sometimes find what info you need but is unintuitive and kind of unreliable if it's not crafted or from a duty. My third thing is a tiny, but important thing, but please, for the love of god, can the items like orchestrion rolls, minions, and mounts get the red tool tip text that says "You already collected this" if you have it? Some things dont let you buy or roll on them if you already own it, but other things do which makes it confusing and annoying when I have to go into my physical log and check my list to see if I have something.

One thing that I miss from wow in every other mmorgp are the non-combat abilities such as the wizard portals to various cities, the water breathing spell from the warlocks or the water walking spell from DKs. This could be hard to make in ffxiv since you can change job whenever you want and that sense of exclusivity may fade, but if they can achieve making this non-combat abilites somehow I think it would add a lot of fun.

We will see how much Bozjan Front differs from Eureka, but I do like the idea of a huge PVE battlefield.

Dungeons are in a very weird place, they're only ever relevant in the beginning of a new expansion and are then quickly forgotten. They really should find a way to make dungeons scalable in difficulty and offer better rewards.

I want there to be non instanced zones. Being able to fly from zone to zone in wow without any loading screens (for the most part) just makes the world feel much more open and interesting. Along with this would be an new map. I don't think the devs will ever do this for 14 as it is a minor thing to most players and would require a huge amount of work.

Mythic Plus was the only reason I was playing wow for a long time. it is one of the few things left in the game you still need a tight-knit group of friends to really go far with. Sadly WoW decided they would make the Mythic system worth nothing to do, on top of making some dungeons extremely hard if you don't have particular classes (Jobs). Mythic Plus is also one of the few forms of PVE where Healers MUST do DPS to get far, or that is how it was in the last two expansions. The new dungeons added a ton of healer-only mechanics that are more stressful than fun, Especially because Healer tool kits are not all the same so some healers literally just have to heal through Fton of unavoidable damage where different (class/job) healer could cheese the mechanics. I think they fixed all of this, but i still have PTSD from all of it to the point even thinking of play wow stresses me out.

I just watched a KZread video where they were saying how WoW has a much greater variety of playable characters. Where the majority of Final Fantasy XIV playable characters are 'human plus' more than actual different races. After watching that video I do agree Final Fantasy XIV has very generic-ish variety.

Wow's glamor collection system is the number 2 thing I want. The NUMBER ONE THING that I miss about wow: doing story content with friends. Not being able to do msq as a group really bummed me out.

Also, the levels aren't really infinite in practice bc most ppl just do until +15, bc there is a reward ceiling.

Jaina moved the raid from a ship to a frozen ocean wasteland. The last two tiers had some good set pieces as well, but I think I’ve made my point. There is nothing like that in FFXIV.

A Mythic+ equivalent system to make Dungeons worth grinding with your friends would be a godsend.

I'm currently farming Filibuster's Heavy Gambison of Fending from Baelsar's Wall for the Ultimate Endgame that is Glamour and having to deal w/ rng and not getting it after 7 runs and counting. That collection system sounds nice right about now.

In most games with a PvP element, I find myself drawn to it, especially dueling. Unfortunately, FFXIV seems to only add PvP as an afterthought. Even just for bragging rights, I can only recognize Ultimate reward gear on sight. PvP #1 gear response is always, "huh, I wonder what that came from." Just clearing Frontline as a Duty Roulette isn't really engaging.

@@Shiirow Right? Some real effort on the PvP side would go a long way for many folks.

As a wow refugee, I agree with this list but want to add two things. 1) Allow me to dismount by attacking. If I cast an offensive ability it should just dismount then attempt to cast. 2) Allow me to store crafting materials in a bank/retainer/whatever, and craft from there. In WOW you can purchase (in game gold, so another gil sink?) a separate bank for crafting reagents only. You can craft pulling from your on person bags first, then once those are out of whatever you need it pulls from the crafting bank.

Definitely a catalogue for all the appearances in the game. I've been trying to build some ideas for my main's glamours for each job I'm intending on seriously playing, but there's really no definitive resource that covers EVERYTHING thats available in the game - Quest rewards, common crafted items etc - I'm not super into running around decked out in neon and particle effects, so .. it's been kind of challenging. Where WoW was kind of restrictive in what they'd allow you to do with appearances in some cases, like dressing a plate wearer in cloth of ANY kind, 14 just seems like it wants to hide whats out there. So it's hard to know what to work towards other than exp grinds.

Having voices would be massively annoying, imagine gathering and hearing your character say something every single second. I'd throw my tv out the window.

The error voices for stuff like "out of range" can be disabled in WoW. Likewise the other voices are commands. Typing /oom makes your character say "I'm out of mana" its mostly just fluff. I'd guess RP players get more use out of it.

And another thing, mailboxes. Final Fantasy XIV is very restrictive with mailbox usage. In WoW there have been a few times where I've had this item (of >0 value) and just randomly sent it to some other player just for fun. Final Fantasy XIV you can only mail people who have become your friends.

So many do play both games, concurrently or at some point. It sure is helpful to have many basic things similar (like a spell cast automatically dismounting you). My suggestion is the in-game voice chat system. Unless I missed something, how do PS and desk toppers talk to each other without a separate piece of hardware?

I think the Class Try out system is something they could implement considering we are getting more Main Story quests where we play as NPC characters from the Main Story using abilities specific for them. They could take that system and adapt it to a trial class tryout system and combine that with the role training quests.

this kinda already exists with deep dungeon (potd gives you abilities up to lvl 60 for example, granted HoH is in SB which unlocks at lvl 61 i believe, which gives you abilities up to lvl 70) Just a small taste would be fine but it would also kill the flow of most jobs, where each job will teach itself to you as you progress through the levels, if you instantly go from 1-80 you'll have out of nowhere 20+ buttons to press which will overwhelm you (Summoner has less than that i think and is already a complicated job)

Cool video! :) I would add that in wow 99% of the time it's visually way more clear to see things. Plus some of the visual effects of abilities/spells in FF14 seems to be overtuned - literally fireworkds in your eyes (there's a setting to reduce that tho).

hey Zepla! Just saw your video! catching up on all the old stuff and I love it!! The big thing to watch out for here- ESPECIALLY with things like Mythic+ is the toxicity it breeds. If you spend hours wiping because someone won't stop AOEing exploding trash packs, that's gonna foster negativity. Doubly so if there's some sort of penalty for an FF-analogue of Mythic+ The reason I stopped wow ages ago was because I was trying to do mythic+ with affixes and I accidentally wiped 'cause I was just a liiiiiittle bit too slow, and I was essentially blacklisted from the entire server, because I'd wasted their key. It was gone, drained, and they had to build up one from scratch. The fact that all of that hard work vanished from one mistake was bad enough, but the result of it was permanently locking someone out of that content because of a mistake. Also, I've been noticing- FF is a hell of a lot more casual than wow. Much lower skilled (Which isn't a bad thing!) in general. not as much of a focus on optimizing or getting THE BEST stat distribution or grinding out XYZ thing to max. As a result, there's not going to be a lot of demand for skill-based things because of it. Hell, take a look at novice network and mentor chat. You'll get yelled at and told you don't pay someone's sub for suggesting that people learn and master their 1-2-3 combo. LITERALLY the most BASIC thing any class has or should know, and trying to insinuate learning that is mandatory will get SO much hate.

In WoW when our character is synched we don't "lose" our skills, we have our entire toolkit available. I think doing older content would be way more fun if that was the case in FFXIV

I changed my mind about this during my last bout of leveling alts. I really don't need to be summoning Bahamut in Sastasha or mass AoEing whole dungeons at that level. WoW's leveling dungeons are just an AoE zerg race of players dressed in heirlooms. If you give us all our abilities at that level there is no way to scale it properly, and it turns into a zerg rush. Leveling dungeons in FFXIV are slow, I get it, I'm leveling a DRG who has no AoE until forever. Unless you have a DNC and an over-geared tank, these low level instances take time. But they also teach you game mechanics. And when I see end-game players running away with stack mechanics, ignoring add phases while the boss goes invulnerable, etc etc, I think more time spent in lower level content might have helped.

The problem lies with balancing and group composition. A level 80 DPS, Healer, or Tank has so many tools, and many with really high potency or straight up mechanic negation, that just one person with an 80 kit in say, Stone Vigil, where everyone else is appropriately levelled, would absolutely make it just a speedrun to the end with even less challenge, and would easily be more than the combined strength of the other 3 where they wouldn't even need to be there, even with item level sync (materia isn't even counted in the sync iirc.) Nastronds, Deathflares, Gurens and Goken spam everywhere, and heaven forbid a single Improvisation+ Technical Finish. It would just absolutely demolish any and all content that those skills were not introduced around. Might as well queue unsynced. The dev team would have to go back to every single piece of content and go through every single move with a fine-toothed comb and individually balance and tweak them for said content.

@@Valanway Well stated. And none of this is worth development time, even if it could be done. Look what DNC does right now in low level dungeons without making this any worse. Why level jobs in dungeons at all if you're just going to be standing there watching everyone mow everything down for you? FFXIV has a pretty well balanced end-game, and a kinda wonky leveling system. WoW on the other hand has never balanced anything at end game to anyone's satisfaction but is constantly tweaking the leveling process. I'll take what we have in FFXIV and be happy with it. Honestly, it's just not that bad. My DRG may have to ST stab and jump his way to whenever it is he gets AoE, but he holds his own on bosses, and we all get to see some mechanics along the way.

maybe not the endless aspect of it but just a harder version of all the dungeons because it feels like it's such a waste of all the elements and design devs already invested in them. like a savage version of the dungeon. gearing up was never an issue in FFXIV anyways. so I doubt if it exist we would be compelled to do it, if not for the triumph of just clearing. It could be just an alternative 5 ilvl below BIS Savage gears or something.

Just rework PVP please SE, I was so excited when they announced it and it was just a let down. It's so over simplified and uninteresting that it's clearly a after thought they don't really seem to care about.

Whilst XIV does need a repeatable form of content, and the dungeons could use some spicing up, I do not think M+ would be the answer. M+ is inherently at odds with the gearing system XIV has. The only reason it worked this well in wow was due to the WF/TF shenanigans and the weekly chest. In SL they beefed up the chest to not invalidate within a month M+ after getting rid of WF/TF. If M+ would be added to XIV we'd have to get a complete overhaul of gear acquisition or else there'd be no point to do M+ besides unlocking the possible cosmetics you'd get for doing all dungeons on +X. Sure it'd be fun to run a few times, but you need something to chase to keep replaying the same dungeons over and over and over. I'd rather keep the current gearing system rather than getting M+.
