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

I know my question might be weird to most players, but i'm wondering if we ever will have Mini-ingame stuff. Such as:

1- Minions Battle? (similar to what World of Warcraft have / Pet Battles)
2- If i'm not mistaken, in FF7 there was a fight or a mini-game (can't remember quiet well) where you have to control a troop and defend your base! it was fun.
3- Some party-like games such as "Tetra" card game OR mini-sport games umm.. Basket ball? :/ (funny ikr)

Best regards and wishes,

Are you going to do anything to fix the lag issue so many NA players are still facing? It's appalling that I need to use, and PAY for a 3rd party program in order to make this game remotely playable. We've already jumped through all the hoops with our ISP, and they can do nothing more for us, it's your turn, Square. Be it a coding issue or talking to middle signal carriers to get them to stop throttling the game, you need to start making this actually work well for us.

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!

This. It's so hard to find groups outside of FC now.

Is there any plans to add more types of daily content.

Any plans on having the game support AMD's Mantle?

Any plans for sell Phial of Fantasia in the store?

Will we ever get the ability to link items in fc chat or any chat for that matter?
Thanks,
Kavu

My question is about FC content~

At the moment everything is restricted, espcially with coil being 8 man and locked upon completion, which leave people to being stuck in premade groups or "perma" as most refer to, and it tends to leave others lost and either doing with out or struggling in pickups to get anything done.

Will there ever be more open content which allows for more FC participation like in XI where you had open world events such as SEA, Dynamis, SKY? I understand that they can often be flawed and exploited by groups, but end-game content should consist of content an FC can do in large groups with out leaving out 90% of the FC to fend on their own or wait for their own turn or group.

Sadly I see this content restricting a lot of FC's to being small because they don't have many options to allow full interaction between all members and tend to fall apart because they can't fully establish friendships but within their smaller 8 man groups. :(

What is the ETA for personal housing and will it be similar to Free Company housing?

Something like a small/medium/large city with several rooms and houses of different sizes or will it be like an inn where we get a single room with the same entrance as everyone else (Like FFXI)?

Will we be able to set our Home Point at our Free Company house using the new lawn Atherite. This would be a really nice feature.

Can you add the phrase "Please look forward to it!" to the auto-translator?

Will the motor cycle from advent children be a mount anytime soon.

Is there a possibility of looping the music in dungeons? The music at the beginning of The Wanderer's Palace and Pharos Sirius (among others) is so great, but it only lasts a minute before going to plain boring battle music and silence. My friends and I want full-time dungeon music like in Praetorium and Crystal Tower!

Also related, there's an option to turn off Riding music. How about an option for Battle music?

The current pvp rank system in the game is based off experience and not based off an actual rating system. Are there any future plans to include a Wolves Den team rating system to encourage more 4 vs 4 premade pvp with seasonal awards for performance such as gear or mounts. Currently in pvp there are many spells that are currently imbalanced such as long duration sleeps are there any plans to differentiate the effects of spells between players and monsters. Other than these concerns I have been enjoying the game and its been a blast. ;)

Is there any plans to allow us to acquire the armor and weapons of these characters

◾Gaius Van Baelsar

◾Nael Van Darnus

◾Nero Tol Scaeva

◾Livia Sas Junius

◾Rhitahtyn Sas Arvina

◾Solus Zos Galvus

More like this.

Are there plans to ease the current stance Square Enix has against machinima and other types of fan media?

Hello, in Game there are a lot of players from Russia, and all one urgent problem interests, whether there will be a localization for Russia, if yes that how soon?

For us PC gamers, is there any news about the DirectX 11 update?

Will players ever get to go into dungeons alone to practice learning as they did in Final Fantasy 11?

Will players ever get open world parties that are not about fate killing. Regular exp parties on regular mobs together?

Will players ever get automatic skill capped removed that they can learn skills better?

Will secondary support be adding to dungeons? Arcanist, Scholar for back up healers.

Any plans to address the large discrepancy of rankings on Odin and Behemoth FATEs?

I've been in several Odin fights and have never seen gold, gotten silver three times , and the rest bronze with a couple of times where I didn't even get credit for participating.

What are your plans with developed, not yet converted modules like hamlets or chocobo carawan?

Can you tell us anything about new classes/jobs that will be implemented?

Can you please allow all REST zone to be allow to swap classes without need for waiting the skills cooldown?

Is there any changes to this spell "Apocatastasis"? It's been very useless

Whats about personal houses in 2.2, will it be implemented? Any info if its gonna be house or only appartament?

Can we put more items into Amoire? Such as new event, tomb, relic and Crystal tower items?

In the previous Letter of the Producer LIVE, you showed us some concept art of the Bard, Warrior, Dragoon, Summoner and Monk AF2. But, we haven't seen Concept art of the White Mage, Black Mage, Scholar and Paladin yet (pr we didn't recognize them). Could you show us what the AF2 looks like for the White Mage, Black Mage, Scholar and Paladin?

Can we expect AF2 to be released before or with the first official Expansion Pack and can you tell us more about how we will be able to obtain them (for example with new job quests at level 60)?

With the AF2 concept art we saw something that looked strongly like a Time Mage, does that mean that we can expect new jobs in the upcoming patches, or will they be released with the first official Expansion?

Several questions:

1. Randomized behavior bosses
Will we have bosses that do actions in a non-predefined pattern, making the fight more about the general strategy and less about memorization of patterns and fast fingers?

2. Danger in the world
Due to the behavior of the monsters (very limited follow range, for instance) the outside world feels very void of danger, even at low levels. As such, the feeling of dangerous exploration is non existent. Any chances to alleviate this in the future?

3. Cooperation between players
Are there any plans about having game mechanics build especially to encourage cooperation between players? Think skillchain + magic burs or Sneak Attack/Trick Attack mechanics from FFXI.

Thanks a lot!

Why is it that we can't put about at least 60% of the seasonal gear into the Armoire, even though it has a tab titled just that? Is anything going to be done about that?

I can't wait for when Personal Housing is released. May we be able to hang up rare weapons on the wall? Say for instance if a better weapon comes out after Zenith weapons, will I be able to place it over a fireplace with a glow? Or any weapon for that matter?

Any plans to add gear with effects when you have enough pieces equipped? Like a full PLD set buffing a spell or reducing a cool down even?

Can we expect a type of jukebox feature to change BGM for Mounts as well should the jukebox be incorporated for player housing?

Patch 2.1 and your response to housing prices has basically killed the economy on most servers. On legacy especially its becoming extremely hard to make the hundreds of millions asked for housing. My question is 2 parts. What is being done to fix the economy and markets? and would you please reconsider the type of information you give out in the future as it can have terrible effects on the in game economy.

I sometimes find myself deliberately avoiding some of the items because it would make my character look like a rainbow...

Are we ever going to be able to dye any of these items?
