Ask Your Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE, Part V!

Will you not build an in-game voice chat feature ever? :D

Third party programs are totally fine though.

Please show us how you made Bard more Bard. :)

When A Realm Reborn was announced, you showed the following "concept" screenshot:

When you compare them with the latest screenshots, a few things are different:

For instance, i don't see the Character Titles like "Dragonslayer" and "Materia Hunter" as well as the Linkshell / Free Company reference like "@FF14" around the nameplates anymore. Also the party roles "T1", "A2" "C5" have been replaced with the class/job icon. Can you tell us more about that?

When the level cap is eventually raised, how will it be implemented? Will it be automatically unlocked when a patch/version update/expansion is released or will there be some sort of quest involved to unlock the new levels? If so, will there be a quest to fist fight Hildibrand?

In an earlier Live Letter, you mentioned that you wanted to lock the Classes until you reach level 10. From level 1 to 10 you would be a "Class-less" character, a "Squire" if you will (like in Final Fantasy Tactics). Just so that they can get used to the interface before selecting a class.

In the Character Creation pictures i've seen so far, it would appear that you will be able to select a class after all?

Do you still want to use the "Class-less" "Squire" approach for the first 10 levels when ARR launches?

Will there be consideration of adding new events similar to current 'Seasonal' ones?

In the original 2.0 "Concept" Screenshot you've introduced the idea of having your Chocobo Companion fight along side of you. Since then you've shown a few concept art pictures with gear your Chocobo can use (like White Mage, Dragoon and Behemoth gear)

Can you show us more about this feature, like in-game footage?

Are there any other Dungeons you can show us (next to the Tam-Tara Deepcroft Dungeon we've seen in the previous trailers)?

You've mentioned earlier that Arrows will be abolished in A Realm Reborn. If so, what does the "Pack" slot (bottom left) hold? A (Gobbie) bag which will increase your inventory space perhaps?

Will we be able to change are name?
