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

[Bayohne]

Q60. Do you have plans introduce a minion or companion based on the young dragon we see in Anyx Trine?

A60. For companion, we need to create motions for attack, and levels, so we currently have no plans for this; however, for a minion, I’m sure the minion alliance are secretly planning this, or may be already working on it secretly.

Q61. Do you plan on increasing the speed of regular ground mounts?

A61. We do not have any plans for this at the moment. There is a high possibility that we increase the speed of flight for flying mounts.

[Bayohne]

Q62. Similar to the glamour system, can you make it so we can change the appearance of our companion chocobo to look like a different mount?

A62. We would have to create attacks and healing actions for every mount, so this would be difficult.

Q63. I really love the scenery in the new areas. Do you have plans to introduce a housing ward in Ishgard?

A63. We’re currently working to solve the inconvenience in the extended wards, so we believe it’ll be after this. This is because we think we first need to create a transfer system for players who wish to move to an Ishgard area.

Q64. Can you make it possible to share a house with our Eternal Bond partner?

A64. While this is not limited to Eternal Bond partners, we are planning to implement a system in Patch 3.1 for housemates. You'll be able to enjoy decorating, raising chocobos, and gardening together.

[Bayohne]

Q65. Will you make it possible to fly in 2.0 areas?

A65. The 2.0 areas weren't designed with height in mind, so even if we make it possible to fly in these areas, there won’t be anything to do. Additionally, to make this possible, we’ll need to make large improvements to the graphics quality to these maps in order to fly.

[Bayohne]

Q66. This might be a bit early to ask, but will flying mounts play a role in future expansions?

A66. We're planning future contents based on flying mounts, so you'll be able to enjoy them in the future as well.

[Bayohne]

Q67. Please implement a dhalmel mount!

A67. I think the mount lead would love to do this, so I’m sure he will look into it.

[Bayohne]

Q68. Would you please consider adding Vanu Vanu's dance emote?

A68. Vanu Vanu is pretty popular. Let’s get this in 3.1!

[Bayohne]

Q69. The graphics have really been able to shine with the release of DirectX 11, but will they become even nicer in the future?

A69. At long last we were able to release the DirectX 11 version, so we would like players to enjoy this version for a while. Naturally, we will do our best to improve the graphical quality.
