Muskets are incredibly steampunk and fit in with the ideas of airships and a lot of other stuff already in FFXIV. It'd fit in really easily, not to mention there are corsairs (or people with guns) in the official FFXIV art already.

Having ammo that comes with certain status effects is interesting to me. That wouldn't happen in FFXIV, though (unless ammo could be made an "offhand" item like some of the crafting tools), but having skills at least that take effect based on which body part is hit is a good idea to me. Considering how gun classes have been treated in previous FF games, it seems like they could make for a cool DPS/support class.

In regards to loyalty bonuses for subscriptions, you're basically talking like gimmicky hat items and stuff like that? It's not really enough to convince me to spend money on a game. I didn't consider the Collector's Edition for a single minute. Anyway, yeah, I understand that you can cancel the subscription when you don't feel like play and start it back up when new content comes out. It's just that I don't feel like playing right now.
