Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XIV! (General)

Please let us choose a "# of Attempts" when trying to Overmeld?

Let me say I want to try up to no more than X Overmeld's until it's successful (obviously, stopping early if it's successfully on try 1 & etc.).

Sitting through that painful window-interface & watching the sulking animation over and over and over and over and over again is so utterly painful & unnecessary.

Will see any content outside using Duty Finder? The lack of content outside it does seem to be lacking.

when are we getting our stats back from 1.23?

here is a site that had them for those who are curious: http://ffxiv.mozk-tabetai.com/

you mentioned in the beta forums that we would eventually get them back...an update on this would be most appreciated!

Please Implement a "Mark as Favorite" feature for Items?

I often have multiple of the same item, frequently with different melds in them. Additionally, it's hard to spot amongst all the pink-items which I want to keep & which I want to Expert Deliver (which expert delivery needs major QoL changes in & of itself... my gosh).

This simple change would enable players to easily see which items are important to them. You could even simultaneously implement a "Mark as Junk" feature.

Just have an icon show up in the bottom-left of the item that's either a Star or Trash-bin or something.

Any chance we can see "Melding Potions" in the near-future?

Whether craftable by Alchemists, purchasable with seals or with tomes... I feel some method of slightly upping the odds of Overmeld Success would be very welcome. Doesn't have to be drastic.

My main job is a PLD and my alt a WAR. We tend to use a lot of the same gear. Are we ever going to be able to cast multiple sets of glamour on the same piece for different jobs? It feels very limiting being able to only cast the gear with glamour once for those of us who often switch between jobs that use the same gear.

Will personal housing ever be implemented? I heard a rumor about additional races, is that being considered?

Will we ever be able to swim? All this beautiful water and swimming suits, why not? :D

Hello from Greece!

I have 2 questions:

1) When will Eorzea Libra VITA be released? PS4 version of the game is out, I was thinking that the VITA version would have been released too?

2) I am a PS4 player of FINAL FANTASY XIV, upgraded from PS3. Back in E3 2009, you announced FINAL FANTASY XIV with the promise to release it on PS3.
So, as I am a huge FINAL FANTASY fan, I decided to support you. I didn't have a Gaming PC at the time, and was between getting a PS3 or a PC with my 650 Euros.
Since FINAL FANTASY XIV was coming to both the PC/PS3, and FINAL FANTASY XIII was also coming out in a few months for PS3, I decided to go PS3.
But the game never came out....
My question is:

Will I, and people like me, ever have the chance to experience 1.0? Eorzea, NPCs, Lore, cutscenes, the companion players had, Dalamud's fall, etc?
Will you ever give us all these items I can clearly see in the database that exist in-game, but I can't have?

Thanks, and keep up on the great work!

Will the NPCs in the city-states ever have their own voiceovers? Perhaps maybe a sentence or two? I find this brings the game to life.
