Mostly a nice episode. That said, I think everyone would prefer it if you stuck to questions you can actually answer in some way (i.e. the story question where you basically said "we can't say anything".)

[Laruni]

Thank you for doing this special Q&A, it makes me excited for future content! I hope there are more in the future!!

It does feel like these questions were "cherry picked" to get the promised and demanded Q&A Digest out of way with the least amount of effort. Many of the questions us western players were especially looking forward to, seem to have been outright ignored and never answered. Especially those of technical nature and regarding connectivity issues. This is great shame.

Secret recipes like the omelette recipe mentioned are great addition. Should definitely consider adding more of such recipes for players to discover together.

Job adjustments so far have been quite random from player perspective and some jobs have been totally skipped or gotten adjustments that make no sense, which irritates naturally some players. It will be great indeed to get adjustment for all jobs simultaneously instead. As a big fan of the Bard job personally, please consider the possibility of adding ability for bard, that does the opposite of Pianissimo ability and turns single target song like Finale and Elegy into area of effect for one cast! Casting these spells one by one on each target when your party is battling multiple monsters at once can be arduous task.

Also. In regard to the large amount of questions received from western players as mentioned the Q&A video. Please communicate more with western players! Perhaps the developers are not aware that large majority of western players are under such impression, that FFXI developers only react to Japanese players? And completely ignore their western playerbase. Leaving the many questions from western players out of this Q&A video further works to enforce such impression.

War great axe needs to be buffed. I am a really good player with war and I notice war shines really well with all other weapons that is possible but the great axe. It lacks the proper weapon skill damage that a great axe is supposed to put out. UKKO's FURRY REALLY REALLY needs to be un nerfed or readjusted more. Other Main jobs like DRK and defiantly MNK's main weapon is producing high numbers but war's great axe weapon skill damage is trash. PLEASE for the love of god ! Buff great axe weapon skill damage or weapon skill properties in some way shape or form thank you !

Really, how many years you going to dangle the empyrean bait for?

Elemental magic needs that fix now, not 2 years from now.

[Dekusuta]

Thanks for the Q&A. Looking forward to the Job adjustments, Empyrean armor and additional storage.
