Once ARR is released, will you be doing more player polls to get the pulse of the community on certain features?

Will 'Phoenix Down' ever become a purchasable Resurrection item? I always hated the company purchased item, doesnt sound cool at all. All Final Fantasy Fans would be happy if it became Phoenix Down .

Will there ever be crafter 'specialization', where people make the choice on their characters which craft they want to truely excel at, and be able to create better equipment and special materials with?

Will there ever be crafter 'specialization', where people make the choice on their characters which craft they want to truely excel at, and be able to create better equipment and special materials with?

As the system is designed around being able to play almost all content on one character, specifically not having to create a whole new character and start from scratch to play a different class, I think this idea of locking out certain classes past a certain point goes very much against the spirit of the game.

However, I'd support the idea of challenging progression to master a craft, such as a difficult quest line based around the craft(s) of choice (no combat or other non crafting related activities required) would fit well and put a gateway before advanced crafting that not everyone would pass on every class, thus resulting in something similar to what you're talking about there.

So, my question is:
Is there any chance of difficult crafting quests, focused on crafting, to really test higher level crafters and unlock more advanced crafting opportunities/techniques?

And as an afterthought:
The same question for gatherers?

[Estellios]

Will the appearance of Grand Company gear have more variation between them?

[ZephyrFox]

Serious question I joke around about ALOT...

Will there be otters in ARR?

[Eade]

Will we see anything similar to ZNMs, BCNMs, KCNMs, or KSNMs in FFXIV: ARR?

[Eade]

Since we will be able to eventually fight on Chocobos (or so I heard), I also remember either on the FFXIV: ARR website, or in a past live letter, seeing some concept art of Chocobos in armor according to jobs. There was a Chocobo in DRG armor as well as WHM armor. Can you tell us a little more about this?

[Kirko]

Are any other new jobs besides Summoner that are confirmed for release?? I never saw a clear answer to this question i will re ask it maybe other players will answer it for me but will PC and PS3 players be allowed on the same servers??
