Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXXVII! (Exploring Patch 4.0)

Could the restriction to the free company workshop be lifted? Getting 4 people to complete a project is quite a challenge for smaller fcs who wish to build with friends.

Machinist is a mess! It does the lowest damage, with almost no utility. It punish every mistake even harder than ever before.

What are your plans to fix this job?

Are there any plans for a "greater scale" rework of scholar?

We were told there was not going to be another tank/healer job, because the existing jobs needed some better balancing first - which is totally reasonable.
Yet playing as a scholar, at the moment I really feel "left in the dust".
Not only is our mitigation arguably worse than Noct AST, our pet healing, mana , and AoE DPS also received some serious hits.
Our lvl 60 (Dissipation) and lvl 70 skill (Fey union) directly contradict each other. On top of that, Fey union is very clunky to use and seems bugged, as the gauge keeps on draining, even when the tether breaks.

All in all, scholar feels like it lacks identity right now. Are there any plans to change that during the ongoing expansion?

Why does it feel like some jobs recieved a lot of work while others feel very rushed? Especially the new abilities and gauges of the three healers feel very tagged on and not thought through. How do you plan on fixing scholar since many people are reporting the class feel less fun to play? Fun cant be brought back by just number tweaking alone. Are you willing to do big changes within Stormbloods lifespan?

Will you consider a closed or public test world for major changes coming forward to gather player community feedback during overhauls in the future?

It was mentioned that there were plans to further expand Player Inventory after seeing how the servers handled the initial upgrade. Any update on this, and plans for further inventory expansion?

Rules say to make separate posts for separate questions, so I just wanted to call attention to this one.
It's terribly distracting to see just how pixelated textures look in close-ups, is any kind of upgrade to this even in the cards?

Please can you increase the number of items that you can add to the exterior housing plot. 20 items for a small house is very low considering there are now more external items than ever before. Great you've increased the internal item limit.

Regarding the Job Gauges:

Will it be possible for other classes to also track some of its buffs/CDs?
Ex: WAR only tracks the accumulated beast gauge, is it possible to add the Storm's Eye buff or Berserk buff
Ex: SAMs Shifu and Jinpu buff

Will more housing wards be added to accommodate larger servers after Shirogane?
