More bardings for non-chocobo mounts.
Special "Freelancer" skills that could be earned through quests. Each on and added trait. Stuff like longer sprints, better prices from shops, exc. QOL stuff.
I'd like to see a muscularity slider for miqo'te and Elezen males, too. In general, more extensive body sliders would be appreciated. And *cough* a bulge slider *cough*. Females get a bust slider, so it's only fair!
More customisation options! Especially for the Midlanders and Elezen. I'd like to be able to design characters that look like Gabranth or Edea.
As for classes, a new disciple of magic, and now jobs are always welcome! A battlemage type class would be amazing. More spells and abilities! Moar!
More emotes, especially RP-friendly ones! I'd also like the ability to change your character's "passive" stance. Basically, emotes that make your character interact more extensively with their surrounding world are what I'd like to see added.
I'd like more skimpy outfits too for males, but ones that look less like they originated from a Pride Parade that bumped into the Rio carnival, and more like something out of Conan the Barbarian. GW2 had great artistic direction when it came to its gear, and FFXIV can learn from this.
The ability to get robes and armour that look less stodgy and more elegant, e.g. gowns rather than robes, would be a plus.
Additional Garlean lore and, perhaps, the ability to play Garleans.
I agree with most of the ideas suggested by others here, e.g. cloaks.
I'd love to see account-level achievements, especially since people like me enjoy tying particular classes to specific characters, which isn't the most efficient way to do things since you're meant to level more than one class per character; I'd rather have the ability to specialise my characters and still reap the rewards in terms of achievements.
As for stat allocation, I wish they'd take another look at the Elezen; it would have made more sense, to me, to push the Wildwood as the more "physical" variant of the race, with the Duskwight possessing more magical prowess, not least of all because many Wildwood seem to take the path of the archer or lancer.
More racial lore! I'd like the character's race to have a meaningful impact on my gaming ezperience. I don't like the idea of brushing race off as nothing more than differently configured pixels! As such, racial abilities, emotes, outfits etc. are all good things.
More locations, more challenges for players after a more hardcore experience etc etc.
Their idea of allocating rewards based on subscription time is very good, so I hope they keep it up.
I'll stop now.
