Letter from the Producer LIVE 53: Ask Your Shadowbringers Questions!

Some of my friends like to do dummies a good bit but would like CDs to reset quicker afterward... is it possible to add code in to reset CDs after a dummy is finished at least on SSS? Or an option to do it in general when using dummies?

I was wondering, can you explain to us why FFXIV doesn't have something like an "item overflow system"? Many other MMO's have a system like this to prevent items that can't fit into the inventory for whatever reason to get lost into the aether.

Ok this is a really odd question so please bear with me here but i just noticed there are no chonk male mystels walking around in eulmore, what happened to them? I mean we've seen them in the sneakpeek art of Eulmore so i'm really curious here. Don't mind me. :v

Furniture / Housing

Can you add an option in the Housing UI to adjust the vertical placement of objects? Maybe with a slider or some kind of set increments?
This would be helpful for getting furnishings to rest on top of the new loft areas.

(New furniture preview feature is amazing, thank you!)

Music Settings WoL

I would prefer to hear the zone music instead of the leve music while I'm doing leve quests.
Can we get an option to keep overworld music playing, the same way we can for mounts/residential?

Dear Yoshi p! Will we be getting A final fantasy vii x final fantasy xiv event in the future and as a reward we get Tifa Lockhart’s iconic costume?

What beast tribe story will we be expecting in Shadowbringers?

Is there any plans to stop cross realm hunts and using the cross realm market-board

I've had one too many hunts either early pulled or less rewards drop because there are too many people from other realms doing them aswell as my home realm.

plus its congesting the servers

Glamour Outfit

Can we get a Kimahri glamour outfit?
We have Ronso on the First, so this would work in favor of that.
Plus we have Tidus and Yuna outfits. This one could be for all races and all genders.

PORXIE MINION?

I know the potency of the samurai ability Shoha was buffed during the last patch but I still find myself never using this ability. Having to stand around and not move for 14 seconds to get enough stacks to be worthwhile is very difficult to do in any dungeon/raid/trial and even then its max potency isn't very high compared to other Samurai abilities.

Are there any plans to further improve this skill or change how it works in the future?

Is there any possibility for increase to Dancer personal DPS. This comes from Party Finders on Elemental and other Data Centers choosing to prevent dancers from joining. This also applies to ninja as they are also often prevented from joining party finders for savage raids.

Previously you had stated that you would be trying to implement more legacy hairstyles to Viera in the future.
When is this expected as the options are very limited and those of us who spent money on the marketboard, on MogStation and in Gold Saucer are feeling left out as we cannot use hairstyles that we have earned and/or purchased directly from MogStation.

Are there any plans to release full sheet music for Shadowbringers?

Every piece is so beautiful and evocative, especially Tomorrow and Tomorrow. I would love to practice and perform it!

Question: Will we see sch fairy skins much like how smn has carbuncles for their egi? For example, having a pixie or Feo Ul (because she's so great!)

(Please let us have Feo Ul as a fairy skin.)

As of the recent patch Samurai has been doing less dps than Monk and Dragoon both of which bring more utility to the party. Are there any plans to buff Samurai so their dps makes up for their lack of utility?

Ninja is currently one of the hardest Jobs to play but also one of the weakest. I am enjoying the Ninja but i don't feel rewarded for perfect play. Ninja is only okay in High End Groups, but even then Monks or Dragoons are still better.

Will Ninja receive some Buffs and Ninki adjustments until 5.1?
Is it possible to change Meisui to an Off Global Cooldown Skill without using Suiton?
Why is Bunshin not like in the Media Tour?

Since the introduction of the Eternal Bonding Ceremony, I was excited to finally bond even further with my partner. My question is: Are there plans to introduce more emotes that couples can use in game such as, a shoulder lean doze, hand holding, or even a bridal carry?

In Amaurot, there is a quest that asks you to create a set of robes and, for various reasons, you don't get them upon completing the quest. Although you can craft something similar, it's not exactly the same. Will we ever be able to get those specific robes? The quest doesn't feel complete!

My question is in regards to enrage timing on Titan Savage E4S.

My group recently cleared the fight after struggling with enrage. Our final clear time was 13:17 with titan probably less than half a second from finishing his enrage cast. I've noticed many groups have clear times over 13:20 (with one group clearing at 13:35)which would indicate the enrage can be at different times for different attempts.

Is there a mechanic that we have missed that could cause such a discrepancy in the enrage timing or is this due to the instance server? Right now it feels very unfair to be stressed to beat an enrage that other groups had more time to beat.

Can BLU be a real big boy job already? Or would that require too much eff-, ahem, "developmental resources?"

Will you ever fix the soul-crushing housing system?

With the addition of the "Reuse" ability for crafters, we have a slight chance of reclaiming the FIRST material in the crafting list. Sometimes this is on a invaluable item. Will it be possible to select which material in a recipe can be elegible for Reuse?

With the commercial and critical success of Shadowbringers, many players are stating this is their favorite story scenario/antagonist the FF series has seen. Is there any concern going forward about being unable to achieve such a pedigree again, or concern maybe about being influenced by Shadowbringers during development of later expansions?

Thank you and congratulations!

Has there been consideration for a heavy handed fix to the housing situation? Like players who don't login for 60 days have their plot become available (they lose nothing of course), forcing players to have no more than 2 houses per account, etc?

Will Viera get better hair animations for some of the hairstyles that are significantly more stiff on the back?

With a new deep dungeon potentially in the making, will the sustaining and empyrean potions from the previous incarnations ever be more readily available (such as for gil purchase) for those wanting to keep playing this older content to reach the top floors solo?

Does meteors in the first echo vision have anything to do with what we see in the last story duty? Is it just a coincidence or it was designed like this specifically to reflect that old scene?

while Monk has been having an issue with its kit since SB and im really glad they got some nice help with the recent 5.05 Patch i cant help but feel the balance is really skewed, Monks at the moment are way to powerful outclassing even Black Mages, not to Mention your guys idea of Samurai supposing to be a super high DPS job is pretty sad, Samurai atm is severely Lacking in comparison to Monk, Black Mage, and Dragoon.

At the moment there have been no announced plans to bring homes to the Crystarium or Eulmore and understandably do to the amount of resources that would go in to making a new housing district.

However could we possibly see just apartments being added? Rooms that look just the the Crystarium inn however they allow you to customize them how you see fit?

I know it's been said before but could we get Moonstone and Obsidian Carbuncle glamours for Summoner.. pleaseeeeee :)

Question:

Now that we get a futurestic setting geting with the Nier Raid.
Is it possible that we get a Cross Event with Phantasy Star Online 2 like
there was in that game many years ago.

Are you going to do something about WHM's Fluid Aura skill? The move is widely considered useless right now, and I (along with many others) believe the skill should be reworked.

Shadowbringers has a completely different feel compared to Stormblood and Heavensward where it feels that you (as the Warrior of Light) are more involved in the overall plot. Personally, I feel the game is a lot more immersive.
What exactly was done differently in the development of Shadowbringers, compared to previous expansions?

There are a lot of Class design flaws in the Shadowbringers. Ninja in particular is in a very questionable position. Will you ever consider providing player test builds specifically for class testing to help adjust classes to where they need to be? And if not, do the developers plan to reach out to some of the notable individuals for each class to gain feedback on their design and current meta balancing?

Hello! Has any thought ever been given toward allowing hairstyles to be included in a glamour plate? I'm positive I'm not the only person who would love to be able to show off a glamour cosplay on my character that included a hairstyle and not have to run to an inn any time I wanted to do so! Or in cases where a certain hairstyle I like may not look good (or possibly clip gear) on another job, when I swap to that that has a glamour plate applied it could automatically change the hairstyle as well.

I really adored the implementation of the Trust System and got a lot of value out of it! I hope to see more expansions of it in the future! My question is, will we be seeing more characters in the trust system that aren't the primary scions and can we gain access to NPCs who aren't scions that did feature in the system already (such as Crystal Exarch and Lyna)? I really miss them!

If there are no plans to add new races, could we instead see additions to current race customization like faces, eyes, or makeup?

Ever since starting FFXIV and playing for about since Jenova Server was released, I have enjoyed everything about this game and everything that you have done, so thank you. from the bottom of my heart.
Now my question or rather questions is a few and it all relies on Glamour since I love showing off my stuff as well as others.

First off, after facing The Garlean Empire bosses and enemies is there any plans for Judge Gear/Armour the ones like Livia, Nael and Gaius wore?

Second, I'm sure there have been a few fans for this for awhile, for the Reward Center would Sephiroth's Clothing/Sword be somewhere in the future for being worn?

Finally, this is one from me personally. Ever since I have seen Zenos and how awesome he looks I have been a bit jealous of that Revolving Sheath of his, is there any way we can make that as a glamour piece and the weapon he was using as well for Samurai's?

One of the biggest things I loved about Norvrandt was the diversity of NPC races and the life that was breathed into zones through the nature of untargetable moving npcs that existed there. Will it be possible to go back into ARR content and update zones to reflect the diversity of the game separate from the playerbase?
