What computer equipment are you using to showcase the game in this video?

Final Fantasy has been known for its music. You have said before you want ARR to be more Final Fantasy oriented, but the game currently is played with 70% of silence.

Why would the developers create a Final Fantasy game's music for players who do not like music/video game music?

Those who do not like music have the option to turn if off, but those who do enjoy music have no options .. except to turn it off, yet the music already turns off on its own. How can this make sense? Will there be future Final Fantasy trailers without music? Will distant worlds become a thing of this past?

Why would you like the music to turn off, when there are so many people who enjoy music?

Seeing as SE is involved in the new Thief game comming out in 2014 and considering that Garrett's trademark weapon is the bow, should we be expecting an Archer based Thief job being released in 2014?

Besides relics/af and crafted/normal gear being upgrade-able what other weapons and gear will be upgrade-able? For instance being able to do "synthesis" on equipment like ffix in FFXiV example: morbid mogblade and ifrit's blade to make a new primal weapon or just upgrade the base weapon mogbalde and gaining a portion of stats from the ifrit weapon.

We've already seen Summoner and Scholar for Arcanist, but could you give us a preview of any other jobs for the other classes that you have in mind?

Can we have sharks with laser beams on their heads as enemies? Please? :D

Will players be able to have their Carbuncle, faerie, and a primal essence summoned at once, or at least two of them at once?

Currently a keyboard-only layout is not possible because certain abilities (such as Freeze) require a mouse. Are there any plans to address this?

Any changes to bard's song thematics? In 1.0 it was casted as a buff as in FFXI, do you plan to change it back or to do something different about the way it was in ph3?

How will we get the "Eggi's" to summon with for Summoner class?

Could you elaborate on the type of roles each Eggi will have?

Will Doomtrain/Phantom Train be implemented in some fashion? If so, will they have an inherent weakness to a Suplex of the Monk variety?

In 1 of the past Live Letters you introduced us to a Ahriman Mount Then in Live Letter 3 you said "You should be able to ride it right away, but we’re testing and looking into how to introduce it along with other mounts as well. Mounts are really fun and many players like them, so we'd like to keep implementing a variety of them in A Realm Reborn."

Is there anymore information on this mount & other mounts?
