Cool systems in other MMOsFollow

Being able to dye it is good enough for me. Honestly, the concept of "town gear" has always been one of those silly things people do, in my opinion.

I like how the armor is designed in FFXIV thus far, even if the colours were sometimes... interesting...

... seriously SE, **** off with pink armor.

To me that would take some fun and need away from crafters, the what you see is what you get is better because, like it does for me, it motivates me to level my crafting so i can make the gear i wanna wear and that looks cool. I would rather them keep it the same and just add cooler dyes and more types of armour.

Some alternate outfit setup would be nice. While I like the high level armour it does kinda bother me when everyone looks exactly the same wearing the same armour and using the same weapons. Having the ability to add some personal flavour to the way your character looks (within reason) can't be a bad thing.

I dont think miss matching gear gimps you in any way, in tihs game any way that would really take away from dyes and crafting,

Iv never played WoW, but that way gives me the whole get your cake and eat it too type feel. I dont wanna craft some awesome looking armour that took some time to do, and then see some random person just "imagination'ed" his gear to look like mine, gotta work for some stuff in my opinion.

Active time events for npc backstory(FFIX)
Job specific limit breaks for individual gain(FFVII)
Utility actions removed from the GCD(other mmos)
Differentiation of utilization of the hotkey(sort of like jobs using the hotleys differently, Pug sort of does this-FFVI)
A skill modifier feature(kind of like the charge feature in Champions Online but allowing deep manipulation of skills effects)

Airship combat(FF did it on PsP, they can do it on pc with individual roles of airship maintenance and gunnery)
Magitek Battle Circuit(Think Star Wars Pod Racing but with magical mechanized magitek, teams similar to a nascar team-pilot, mechanics, engineers, team jersey/outfits)
Chocobo Jousting(Is there jousting in any mmos?)
Undersea exploration(Not asking for GW2 underwater combat or for it to be doable anywhere, just a few select areas)
Final Fantasy Tactics ARR(Using in game assets 10 vs 10)

I don't know if you meant just mmos or any game. I don't expect half the things I asked for. But I can dream lol.

Oh poopies, I over looked the topic title.. You just meant mmo systems. Nevermind.....

I think they mentioned some kind of wardrobe/transmog system was in the works, it probably just won't make it for launch. So... Stay Tuned(tm)

I think one thing I'd like see are broader scale FATEs. Right now, their locations are fairly isolated. If you're too far away from one when it starts, there's a good chance it's over by the time you get to it. Granted, this may be a congestion issue with everyone being lowbies, but in contemplating FATE-equivalent systems from other games, I can't help but consider Rift's zone events as a grander scale in terms of objective. The catch here is, if such things do occur, is to not lock out NPCs/hubs in the event of failure or even the event running in general. Otherwise you might alienate people just trying to do a little something, but not capable or interested in taking on the big event.

Without dabbling in crafting yet, I'm also hoping they have a means to augment a product beyond the NQ/HQ dynamic. For example, let's say you have a sword that gives +5 STR. With an item added at synth, you could make +8 STR, +5 STR and +3 DEX, or +5 STR and +10 DEF as random examples. You could standardize the augments and give them tier requirements, that way twinking isn't an issue off the bat in the PvP sphere. And despite the inevitable cookie cutter that might arise, it would allow some more flexibility in play style.

Given the praise I've seen people give the graphics/environment, some kind of Vista system a la GW2 couldn't hurt, either. For those who don't know, there would be select points at a map you could visit where basically taken to a CS that pans around the environment, allowing views not normally possible without the UI and such in the way. A few examples from when I played.

I guess I'd also like to see a jukebox item where, once you've heard a music track, you can play it wherever.

Some of the main quests did have voice acting, but I can't remember which ones. I just know that I heard voices. LOL

As far as outfits:

I really liked DCUniverse's armor display system. You equip an item, you learn it's "design", and can display whatever you want to, despite what you're actually wearing. It makes it so that you can focus on getting what armor you need without the issue of not having your character look a way that you don't like.

I like that in other MMOs I get a greeting from every NPC, even if it is the same old 4 or 5 possibilities. It was still nice to hear acknowledgement from the guy/gal when i clicked on them. Baladash malanore.

I really like your ideas too Seriha.

I think this is a major possibility considering the huge part chocobos play in FF. The Magitek I'm sure will be used in this way somehow.

Transmog wasn't used strictly for town gear. You could change the appearance of almost anything, including (and most commonly) your main set of gear you wore into battle.

I know you play FFXI so I'm sure that despite your indifference on gear in town, you could appreciate having the ability to change the look of gear in battle. That is of course, unless you actually like looking like a rodeo clown and the obnoxious and annoying blinking as you disrobe and change clothes on the battlefield.
