Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXVII! (Localization Koji Fox)

[Veritas-Ancora]

We love Koji Fox, we love our English translators and community forum leads.

However, can you please explain to Yoshi P that creating a post without any requests for community feedback, and a post from Bayohne that all other questions will be ignored, is the reason why a lot of players are posting questions about the actual game they care about?

I don't think anyone is trying to disrespect Koji, we seriously love this team, but this seems like a blatant disregard for the opinions of the gamers who are subscribing monthly. Feedback has never been more important for this game when hardcore players are giving up and casual players are desperately seeking more to do. Claiming in the recent Live Letters that you're listening to our feedback without allowing that opportunity any more feels like devs aren't listening at all.

Can we get more lore on the Fortemps brothers? Like what were their relationships towards each other? Did any of them like one another? Or what was their upbringing like? And what are their ages?

It's been almost a year since you posted about having finished the quest story to explain Sasamo's 80 sins. Have you been able to get this quest approved and into the game? If not, can you finally explain what Sasamo did?

On the level 50 WHM quest, "Heart of the Forest", A-Towa-Cant uses a portion of the Warrior of Light powers to come back to the living world and help us in the battle. He was long deceased and his body was not around, so what happened was far from a simple "Raise". Does that mean that the so powerful White Mages from old eras, or even A-Towa-Cant himself, with the help of the Elementals, could bring people back from the dead, not as zombies, but as normal living people? Lorewise, what are the limits of the White Magic?

[ExKage]

What are the differences from being a chosen of Hydaelyn, a Warrior of Light, and having echo? Not all people are chosen by Hydaelyn and certainly fewer are Warriors of Light but many do have the echo.

Forgetting about game-balance and focusing only on lore: if we were to compare the healing power of the Nymian Scholars, old-eras White Mages and Sharlayan Astrologians, what would be the ranking between them?

[ExKage]

There is an elezen that is referred to as Lord Tedalgrinche of House Dzemael. Is he just a Knight of the House or is he one of Count Thieveneux de Dzemael's sons?

[EorzeaHero69]

When will we heading back to the Odin story?

According to quests in the Black Shroud, as well as leve descriptions, there's still a lot of animosity towards outsiders in Gridania, especially through the Wood Wailers and some of the conjurers at Stillglade Fane (like the ones that couldn't help the Ala Mhigans due to previous conflicts with the Elementals via the Autumn War). There are others, though, who seem a bit more open-minded than their counterparts, namely NPCs associated with the Order of the Twin Adder, who have been encouraged by Kan-E to accept and learn from outsiders rather than resent them.

We know the Wood Wailers have been around far longer than the newly-established Order of the Twin Adder, and I have to wonder--has there been any internal conflict between Kan-E's plans for Gridania and the more conservative members of the Wood Wailers/Stillglade Fane? Why do they continue to cling to old ideas five years after their "supreme commander" told them otherwise? Were they at all upset when Kan-E returned and took the helm of Gridanian government, and might these two opposing factions potentially create conflict similar to what recently happened in Ul'dah?

[Fleurette]

Additionally, we've heard from you that Kan-E is in her late twenties despite looking like being in her late teens; how old are Merlwyb and Raubahn in comparison?

(and as always thanks a bunch for your work!) :D
