Letter from the Producer LIVE Part VIII Q&A Updates

[Bayohne]

Q30: Is there any new information on the “rare weapon apperance” system?

A30: After discussing the matter internally, we came to a conclusion that we are not ready to implement the system because of the various unique-looking weapons we have in the game. The basic idea behind the system is that players will be able to change the appearance of their weapon to something unique. It’s strictly a visual thing and it won’t have any impact on the stats.

Q31: In addition to primal battles, will you also be implementing hard-mode for instanced dungeons?

A31: Yes, we will.

[Bayohne]

Q32: There are a number of primal battles in ARR, but will there be a Morbol’s Wrath kind of primal battle?

A32: Well, we’ve implemented a high level morbol FATE, so please try and find it!

[Bayohne]

Q33: Show us the Ul'dah and Gridania housing areas!

A33: We should be able to show you next Letter from the Producer LIVE.

[Bayohne]

Q34: Are there any surprise announcements you are hiding and planning to mention right before launch?

A34: I’m pretty sure we said quite a lot today...

[Bayohne]

Q35: Will the Free Company housing be in the area of the Grand Company we belong to?

A35: There are no real restrictions on this, so you can build your house in the location of your choice.

[Bayohne]

Q36: What's the status of the treasure map idea?

A36: Being able to play this content is not very far away. We are planning on fleshing out the system for a beastmen tribe related to treasure maps.

[Bayohne]

Q37: Will housing areas be implemented in Coerthas and Ishgard in the future?

A37: After implementing the housing area in the initial three regions, we will add housing areas to other regions if we receive enough requests!

[Bayohne]

Q38: Will you be able to have your minions run loose in your house or set them up as furniture?

A38: I think it would be possible, so I will let the lead know.

[Bayohne]

Q39: When we change our grand company, we are unable to equip any of our previous grand company gear. Could you let us convert our previous gear into seals?

A39: We would like our players to choose their grand company based on their play styles. This also means that we assume players may go back to their original grand company at some point. Therefore, we currently have no plans to implement a trade-in feature.
