Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXIII Q&A Update Thread

[Bayohne]

Q30. Is the Iksalion that appears in the Fractal Continuum related to the Ixal? If so, is the Ayatlan they are searching for during the beast tribe quest actually the floating continent Azys Lla?

A30. Azys Lla, Azyslan, Ayatlan... Talking about it too much would take the fun away from it, so I think I’ll leave it at that. By the way, if you go and talk to a certain NPC in the Ixal beast tribe quest area after clearing this, their dialogue will change. There are a lot of other examples of this, so be sure to check out various NPCs.

Q31. It's difficult to beat the Odin FATE now since there aren't many people around. Can you add new rewards to stimulate participation?

A31. Odin's level is currently level 60, so he is very strong. Please give it some time and try again.

Q32. Do you have plans to introduce an Extreme version of the final boss fight in the 3.0 main scenario quest, similar to the Minstrel’s Ballad: Ultima Weapon?

A32. Let me just say, “no comment.”

[Bayohne]

Q33. When are you planning to unlock new ranks for Grand Companies?

A33. We’re currently planning Grand Company-related content, so we believe we’ll release new ranks when adding this content. It’s not fun moving into the next rank just by collecting something, so we think it’s good timing to add new types of content when releasing the ranks.

Q34. Can you place a company chest in Ishgard?

A34. The company chest is something that allows multiple players to interact with items at the same time, so we’re carefully looking into this since it can severely affect the servers. I’m not saying that we will not place one in Ishgard, but please give us some time.

Q35. Will we be able to change our free company names?

A35. We're planning to make it possible to change your free company name in Patch 3.1.

Q36. Do you have plans to introduce a Haurchefant minion or painting?

A36. Since we're receiving lots of requests for this...let's add this in Patch 3.1!

[Bayohne]

Q37. Can you tell us the difference between Alexander and Alexander (Savage)?

A37. Both the difficulty and the item level of the items you can obtain will be different. The design of the rewards will be the same, but you’ll be able to dye the equipment from Alexander (Savage). Additionally, there will also be special rewards that will not affect the strength of your character.

Q38. Can you make it so we the Allagan tomestone and Roulette bonuses will carry over from the day before, or the week before, for the days we couldn't play?

A38. Since this affects the entire server, it’ll be hard to implement this right away, but we’ll consider this.

[Bayohne]

Q39. Are you planning to increase the rank of our companion chocobos?

A39. We do not have any plans for this at the moment. We currently planning for new content that utilizes chocobos and magitek armor, and we will be making adjustments for this.
