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

Part 2 :-

Making disciples of hand and land more fun and strict like if you already have all of them 50, you can only choose 2-3 to be activated for lets say 24 hours, next 24 hours you can choose any other DoH or the same but no more than 2-3 every 24 hours, makes some players who have a certain DoH more in demand to get a few gils :p and they should be fun to level up :D maybe make certain fates for them like culinary can have a food cooking contest and make a certain recipe based on stuff in their inventory :D

Just to keep things interesting xD

Thank you,

Chicky ;):o

Would it be possible to finally get a Mac client?

Boot camp works well but.. a mac client would be a lot better :D

The un-official mac client that was made using a wineport was too buggy and had a ton of glitches so.. with the release of 2.2 would there be a surprise for the mac users to have the game on the mac :D ?

please please please :(!

Thank you,

Chicky ;):o

Players being banned for using ffxiv-app is this true, and is this something the players should use at our own risk or stop using it completely?

Since you are releasing Leviathan this time well we also see new beastmen tribes like the Sahagin and will they come with daily quests and a new mount and minion if we reach rank 4 with them.

Can we see a increase in beastmen tribes rank when patch 2.2 goes live.

I would love to see some new classes/jobs

When the musketeer class is released will it get a pistol in the off hand and rifle in the main hand. The pistol will allow us to move and shoot like what the bard does already and with the rifle we have to stand still and shoot like what a black mage does, will the musketeer have a similar skill set like this.

Will there, or are there any plans to make changes to dyeing, or further improve it for vanity purposes?

Such as being able to dye a secondary color so we can have full control of how we want our equipments to look like?
As it is right now, we're only able to dye the primary color of the gear.

When Ninja is added will it be an Evasion tank that has things like Utsusemi from XI or will it be the advanced class of Thief?
Will Thieves and Ninjas be able to dual wield?
Will Samurai be a dd or another tank? Do Samurai or Ninja get horses as their class mounts since they may originate from the Far East?

Speaking of dual wielding...
Are there any plans to allow for present classes to dual wield/make use of the offhand slot?
For example, Warrior dual wield two small hand axes (one in main hand and one in offhand)?
Or Monk use an offhand bo staff?
Will mages get "grips" to use in offhand or other accessories except shields?

^^

I love the story-content where we can use the canons and do the dungeon while on magitech. Can we see more dungeons with that kind of content and use it more elaborately than just gather and blast?

PVP Adjustment
My experience with the Wolf’s Den has been both positive and negative since its introduction; it’s good that there is yet another method for the players to acquire the il70 and il90 gear different from the established dungeon/raid grind, allowing players to acquire high level gear at their own pace. However, the Wolf’s Den as it is currently implemented is not friendly to newcomers at all.

1. Are there any plans to reward solo queued players more so than a premade team? The reason being a team composed of a 3 members premade or full party is most likely much more coordinated in terms of strategy and communication than a team composed of mostly solo players drawn from the duty finder server. Therefore, I believe it make sense to give higher reward solo queued players (ex. More experience points per match).

2. FFXIV ARR has done a great job so far to cater to both hardcore and casual players, allowing players who treat the game as a casual past time to acquire similar equipment to those who attend the weekly endgame raid such as Coil at a slower pace. However, there seems to be a lack of consideration at the Wolf’s Den. Currently, there is little incentive for new players to participate in Wolf’s Den because it’s already filled with coordinated 3-men premade or full party decking out in il70 or il90 pvp gear, it’s very hard for beginners to break into the rank especially the experience points reward for the losing team is not nearly enough for new players to catch up in a reasonable amount of time. Are there any plans to introduce a rested bonus similar to DoL/DoW/DoM to the Wolf’s Den?

3. Are there any plans to allow a full party to enter Wolf’s Den and to be split into two random teams so friends can battle each other?

Thank you for reading

Is there any plans to add/bring back the Cracked Materia trade system.

Can we expect to see new items that can be purchased with grand company seals?

Are there plans for new Free Company bonuses? Example; Increased movement speed outside of Duty.

Can you make a "Spur" button that would work as Sprint for your mount? Faster is better!

Thank you! :D

How will you be avoiding power creep for 2.2, and for that matter the long term future?

What steps are you taking to ensure the relevance of the crafting system for the core gameplay in 2.2 if most crafted gear holds no value compared to dungeon gear?

Can you please let us have a "Citizen Class" which' capable of wearing any & all equipment for vanity purposes?

Would have no abilities, it would merely enable greater appearance customization for non-combat.

Can you please for MNK either increase a) Greased Lightning's duration by 2 or b) Form duration by 2?

Also for MNK, can you please remove Stun from Shoulder Tackle (so we can use it to quickly return to boss' without jacking up their stun-diminishment)?

For melee, could you please slightly increase the range with which we may hit moving targets with basic attacks or abilities?

The range at which basic attacks or abilities cancel or do not take effect against moving targets is far too small... especially once you factor in latency.

Are there Big Plans for Costa Del Sol (I miss my FFVII party city Costa)?!?!

Will we ever see a Card Game or Blitzball-type game?!

We need more to do with other players apart from combat.

Are there any plans to extend fairy's healing range to equal that of the SCH?

Thanks for taking our questions! I have a few different questions, although I'd be ecstatic if you were able to even answer just one :)

- As a fan of Mystic Quest, is there any chance we might see that game referenced in the future, such as an arrangement of its music or a guest-appearance by one of its characters?

- Would Moogles ever be considered to become a playable race?

- With so much excitement around the Lightning Returns event, might we see appearances from other heroes and well-known weapons?

- Right now, the game is designed around playing a single character, and leveling every Job/Class. What do you think about the idea of making it easier to have multiple characters, each focuses on a different Job?

- If you're able to answer, are there any plans to add either a new Job or a new playable Race any time this year, perhaps?

The chocobo needs access to the sprint ability to double its speed momentarily.

Will there be more community focused content like mini games and roleplaying posibilities? Like housing is :)

After having leveled ALL discipline of magic, the mage gear witch I have enjoyed for my progression is now taking up space. Id like to know if you could make it possible to alow players to convert the gear to class specific miteria. IE acolytes gear to magic enhancement potency cast time magic attack. that can be affixed to other rare ex gear by way of a quest and the goblin outside black brush. I just feel jipped giving back to a grand company for seals after I spiritbonded it 3 classes ago.

How is the Vanity system currently being designed? The latest community rep post gave it an impression of being a modification to individual gear pieces, but it's still unclear about the requirements and restrictions needed to apply vanity to gear pieces. Will it consume the original item? If that's the case, we would not be able to use it with unique/event gear, because we only get one of it and can't get it again afterwards; I'd actually expect people to not use the system at all. Will it be done through an NPC, or will it be done through the crafting classes? What would be the restrictions on what gear types can be grafted onto other gear types? How would Vanity apply to multi-slot pieces such as the Darklight Bathrobes, or when sourcing from the Odin armor?

Can we have a Chocobo primal fight? Can we have Chocobos in different colors ?

Is there any intention of re-implementing the ability to incapacitate monsters like there was in 1.0 where you focus certain attacks from different positions to break a horn or bring a monster to its knees etc? Was a fun mechanic that added to what could already be a complex battle

I'd like to see more variety in mounts. There's been mention of class-specific mounts, so I know there may be plans for some more. After doing the XI event with Shantotto, it got me thinking. I'd really like to see a Dhalmel mount! When can we expect to see this?

Would there ever be a way to Reraise?

Are clipping issues are going to be addressed?

Can you make it so we can see the % of health on boss fights that have phase changes determined by what % their health is?

Eliminate the need to download an add -on to do this.

Chocobo Respecs. {Can I have it?}

In a similar vein, will we eventually be able to level all 3 trees and get all 3 sets of barding?

Can we have a gambling game added to play against other players? Something like a form of dice but we wager points and the points can get us new minions, vanity items, or furniture. Don't use gil because that's just asking for problems from RMT.

I love the music that is being added with new content. Are there any plans to release this soundtrack?

Could you please tell the player base what the official standpoint or view on parser add on applications like FFXIV-APP is?

Are there plans to buff weaker classes?

directx 11 how much different will it make the game look and when can we expect it?

What about the seasonal music composers project yoshi-p announced time ago? We'll see something about it in the next patch?

Custom Crafted Gear/Materia System/iLVL calculation

Will there be a fix for the iLvl sytem, specifically to address gear that has been crafted and painstakingly melded with Materia?
I have characters that technically would equal to iLVL 80+, but I will never get into high iLVL groups because of the iLVL restriction on crafted gear.

My only options are, get Myth gear, CT gear to replace my hard earned crafted gear. Was this intentional on the developer side of things? What's the point of Crafted and Materia Melded gear then?

This needs to be addressed please!

Will swimming ever be implemented? And will there be any type of battles that take place on a boat like in FFXI?

Will there be another fix to the clipping problem. Now, we can finally see Odin or Behemoth, but my team mate disappear sometimes and I can't buff/heal/raise them...
Again, logic priority display order :
Me > Enemy > Party Member + Party Pet/Compagnon > NPC > Other PC > Other Compagnon/pet > Minion + any other thing useless in fight.
All that in a 40-60 yalm range around character.

can you plz tell us why ffxiv not have this ...

1- Dynamis

2- Notorious Monsters

3-open world dungeon

4-cant use that exp we get after lvl 50 .... like merit point in ffxi or like rfit wow any mmo out there
