Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXXV! (Patch 4.0 "Stormblood")

Since the minimum specs have been risen for Stormblood, will we expect new and/or more graphic options? Now that PS3 will be dropped, it seems likely.

Can we get a /lean emote?

I love my midlander hyur but I hate the female running animation, I'd much rather have something like the Highlander female or Au Ra female run. Would it ever be possible to swap the out of combat animations to other races to better reflect the personality we have in mind for our characters?

Will a new Aquapolis be added in SB for maps gathered at level 70, with a new style, or will the level 60 Aquapolis we have now just be expanded upon?

In StormBlood will be there any new Gold Saucer type of rewards, like unique house types?
I would love to see a Gold Saucer themed cottage wall, even if it is super expensive :)

With the addition of swimming on the way, does this mean players can swim and dive in all areas, including A Realm Reborn regions?

Now that PS3 support has been dropped, can we expect a greater level of physics for clothing animations, like the sleeves from the Samurai teaser and Yukata outfits, etc.

Question: What types of improvements the Free Company will get on Stormblood?
We see all systens getting a QoL, but the Free Company Painel, list e etc continues the same. I love to see a search, sort or a new stile to the painel and stuff.

Question: Will the new duties/raids/trials have mechanics with environment/background interference?
For example, in the new map, the Ruby Sea, has a huge tower. There could be a disc at the top of it and a mechanic that would make the team take care of the weight on the sides so the disc does not flip and fall. I would love to see the environment around influence the battles more directly.

Can you go into detail what the end game plans for 4.0 Stormblood are? For example, how many end game dungeons and other activities will there be? Will players have to Hunt again at end game for upgrades? Will Eureka be available in 4.0 or will it be 4.1?

Are there any content additions planned for the Gold Saucer?

How does the development team determine the stats and abilties for minions in Lord of Verminion, and are there any plans for a balance pass on these attributes?

Question: Do you have plans for more content to those already in the Gold Saucer? Like more challenges in the Chocobo race or more Challenges in the Lord of Verminion?

Are there more Square Enix collaborations planned for in the future? Such as Brave Fencer Musashi, Nier, Star Ocean, etc.

Question: Do you have plans to create more interactive furniture? For example, a crib where you can for a minion of your choice and he walk around the house or a message board (like the Market Board) for inside the Free Company's home?

Question: Will there be a change in the skills of Stormblood's crafting especialist? I confess that I have never used any of the skills in any recipe.

Question: Will the blue and red scripts system continue in Stormblood or will we have new scripts?

Question: We had the blessed primary weapons for the Gathering, are there plans to release a blessed version of the secondary weapons? The gilded glow is pretty cool.

Is it possible to add a MP3 feature that temporarily changes an area's music track to an option from the orchestration list?

Yoshi-P has stated in the past that he wanted XIV's PvP to become an eSport.
From a gameplay and balancing perceptive, what are your plans to make that happen? (I would assume the new expansion is when you would start doing said plans)

What level is the swimming quest, and can ARR players accept it?

Can housing zones become flight zones please?

Can FC member capacity please increase?

Linkshells have proven to be a little archaic. Can they become open invite via permissions?

Will we see mandatory job-specific rotation training to help brand new players stay in game?

As we're approaching warmer climates, will we see more revealing tome gear?

Will Yojimbo make an appearance in Hildibrand?

With veteran rewards ending, would you please retroactively add gear to those ranks to give players more FF gear per rank?

Any update on the possibility of an FFXV Collab-Event?

Moving forward into 4.0, could we please have the triple triad tournament prizes finally changed to brand new, exciting cards... and have the current (and quite outdated) platinum-pack prizes (lightning, firion, tidas) added to NPCs?

Can we please get more character customization options added for facial features and face paint? Example some clans of the same race have a beauty mark / mole option, but the other clan does not. Please add the ability to add more beauty mark / moles on either side of the characters race.

Is it possible to make the friendly beast tribe music play when you're on the mounts from those quests?

This year is the 30th Anniversary of the FINAL FANTASY series. Are there any plans to celebrate, such as in-game events?

With the removal of PlayStation 3 support, are there plans to address clipping issues with hair/clothing?

Are there any plans to make a gathering beast tribe (as opposed to the battle/crafting ones we have now)?

Will the additional skill points change in Stormblood, or will we continue to have additional points when we level up?

Will both flight and swimming/diving be a thing in Stormblood areas? And if so, will flight still be tied to aether currents like in Heavensward?

Are there any plans to give gathering classes a quick means to level up similar to how crafters have Ixal and Moogle quests?

Will we be seeing reworking/removal of stats like Parry or Determination?

With the release of Heavensward, things like the level 60 weekly tomestones were not made immediately available for the purpose of giving players time to enjoy the story and level up jobs without feeling rushed. Assuming that will be repeated for Stormblood, how much time will be provided before the weekly tomestones become available?
