Ask Questions for the Letter from the Producer LIVE: NA Fan Fest (General)

Would you please cosider making a vanity-patch with several more hair-options (head, face, maybe even body) and everyday clothes?

When i'm waiting for party in Duty Finder,I can't level up my DoL classes through Levequests, because if DF pops up in the middle of Levequest,I can't accept it. Will this be fixed in the future so we can abandon the Levequest without declining DF?

Would you please add /cpose to /doze?

Some of the sleeping poses are really not sleeping...

Would you please tweak the /hug? I'm so happy that you added it - thank you! But it's hard to actually hug someone, and the patting motion is just weird...

Would you consider adding swimming? It's okay if you don't add underwater things, I'd just like to be able to take a proper dip! =D

Will there be any prior ff title references within Goldsaucer ? If so what can you tell us about the games such as triple traid? ;)

i know this may sound lazy but will there ever be a way to discard from your inventory when you are crafting. Also can you please make it so you can discard from your retainer. It will make organizing it SO much easier.

i'm sure you are gonna get a lot of these but what is ninjas main stat going to be. Not really expecting an answer but you can't say I didn't try.

Why was the original idea of every player getting a small size house for 850k scrapped, and instead, selling FC housing, and even if you manage to put out the additional housing as planned, what are the chances that EVERY player will be able to have their own house if they want it? especially since on some servers, people are claiming that there are people that bought multiple houses

Better question, why cant we do ANYTHING else while crafting? toss items, accept party invites, accept linkshell invites.......i dont even remember if we can examine other people while crafting now that i think about it

There will be new Gathering/Crafting classes in 3.0?

Could you make the minigames from the inn also available in our character menu?
The only time I would want to play these is when I am waiting for my raid/dungeon and then I am usually not at my inn room

Can we purchase an unlimited amount of Fantasia potions in 2.4?

There could have been a much more efficient solution than just removing cleric stance outright. I believe the reasons you should reconsider are as follows.
-Cleric Stance was useful in warding off DPS that would assail the healer in 1vs1 instances.
-While I do not justify the use of spamming holy in a mass group of WHMs, I cannot justify the removal due to a few bad eggs.
-SCHs using cleric stance is vital for their survival given that they are a hybrid of DPS and Heals
-It provided a challenge for healers and to others that would take on a class that's viewed as relatively weak
-Less healers are interested in PvP now because they are not able to defend themselves as efficiently and the challenge of DPS and healing is gone.
-I feel that it was a quick fix for a more specific issue
-If SCH was too OP, which is unlikely since DPS want to attack healers un-molested, then why not adjust their stats to make up for it?

Those are my views on the issue.

I'm a big fan of the Beasttribes of Eorzea. I was overjoyed when Noraxia joined the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, and sad when she left. Will we see new beastmen characters joining the Scions in the Rising Stones at any point in the future?

Hello,

I have a little bone to pick with Keiichi Baba when it comes to the male model design *pun intended* lol. I am a Hyur Highlander, and everything about him is amazing... except for that when I got to participate in the summer Moonfire Faire event; I was was beyond excited to get the event items; sadly I discovered my male character is um... missing adequate male proportions where there should be some -_-. Can this be added please?

Is there a solution planned for the huge demand of personal player housing, the server load it would cause and the availability of FC houses?

Why won't you make facial expressions persistent emotes? Why can we dance for hours but can't be /annoyed for more than 10 seconds?

Also, are you going to consider extending existing bardings to all the other mounts? Please?

Can you stop making lv1 armor crafting materials drop from ridiculously high level content? It's nothing a lv1 player will ever be able to afford buying.

I would love a barding for my mount with my free company crest on it. Can it be a thing?

Can we have a backpack to display on our character by toggling it on and off, similar to how the Legacy mark works?

Will the cosmetic gear(tux,dress) from the Eternal Bond system be gender restricted like the starting race gear? Specifically the tuxedo for female characters as tuxedos are generally considered gender neutral clothing. I would like my female Miqo'te to look awesome in a suit personally. I would imagine all of the in-game Hildibrand cosplayers would like a dress as well to complete the true Hildibrand experience.

Would the more unique hairstyles of certain NPCs (Iceheart, Succubi, etc) ever become available to the playerbase?

Oh, and another one-

Will you ever introduce a way to excel as both a scholar and a summoner? Currently, you can master every class in the game except those two (barring constant respeccing. We don't all have that many GC seals!)

What details can you share about Free Company airship content? Should we expect it to be added before or after 3.0?

Are there plans for beast tribe quests focusing on the Goblins, Qiqirn or Mamool Ja?

Do you have any long term plans to adjust/change the materia system?

Specifically regarding problems for:
- Players ability to acquire a specific materia (without using the markets)
- The lack of supply of particular materias (eg savage might IV/Savage Aim IV)
- The limited locations for players to soulbind gear to convert to materia

What plans are there for additional Companions, such as the customizable Magitek Armor which was mentioned before, a return of the 1.0 Path Companion or something entirely new (a moogle, a mammet, or a monster)?

Is there going to be any nerf on any boss from the second coil of bahamut?

Can you share thoughts on Bahamut, the Elder Primal himself, as an encounter for players? Many players want a chance to fight him, but some more interested in keeping the lore solid are skeptical: Is it really valid that a group of 8, or even 24 adventurers would be able to succeed, where even Archon Louisoix could not?

It is, in a sense, a similar situation to the Ultima Weapon. The way I interpret it, the adventurers only defeat it because of Hydaelyn's "blessing of light", but in scenes and dialogue, it is described AND displayed to be a mechanical god amongst men, if you would.

AF2 artwork was shown in one of your live letters. Do you plan on releasing it in patch 2.4, or is it being used for future purposes like the expansion?

We have 87 Big Fish now - which is very challenging! Are you planning to add 13 more and the Big Reward at the end? How about LuShang's Fishing Rod? :)

Will you finally change/fix/nerf the Atma quest so that it could be fair for every player?

When will the AF2 gear be added so that we can obtain them?

It has been revealed that free companies will be able to construct airships in the near future, and that flight may be a focus of the next expansion. Can we know more about how flight will work in Eorzea?

Is there any chance that sometime in the future we can get the hips and butts of the female models back to how it where in 1.0? Or at least improve on the current flatness?

RMT actions have become a complete annoyance with their asking of friendship now with their spam tells. It is so bad, I've often not wanted to log in to play. My blacklist is full of RMT names, and your GM team do nothing but automated replies because there are so many reports on them. Are you planning on implementing a /tell & /shout block for our chat like what we have in FFXI, so these annoyances are reduced to a minimum?

Will we ever be able to queue for an instance or join a party while having our chocobo buddy out?

is there going to be a new command that lets you click on a player and your pet goes to that player. or a command that tells your pet to follow another player instead of you.and what outer plans you have for pets in the future:o.

Are there any plans to implement some kind of punishment for those that withdraw from the DF queues several times in a row in a short period of time?

Miqo'te Keeper of the Moon have a mole / beauty mark that Seeker of the Sun do not have. Could we have this facial feature for both clans?
