Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXVII! (Localization Koji Fox)

Where are all the tribal Lohengarde?

Does the anti-Duskwight sentiment in the Black Shroud carry over into Ishgard?

Why cant we have the release date of the major patches like 3.2 sooner ?

Can we get a more definitive time frame than a time bubble? For example, how long did 2.0-2.55 take? How much time has passed since we took down Gaius? How long was Thancred out by himself?

Do Ala Mhigans have a terrible dislike, if not worse, for Nymeia (and her worshippers) due to their Mad King proclaiming her to be the only god Ala Mhigo ought to praise?

What, exactly, is the heart of Garlemald like in the present day in terms of architecture, technology and culture? Is it more similar to Archades (FF12), Midgar (FF7) or is it completely different?

There are hints towards this but could you please confirm if House Dzemael is a Duskwight house/allows in Duskwights? Seriously, are there Duskies in Ishgard?

In the last main story scenario, the Japanese dialogue with Y'Shtola in the end gave hints towards the relationship between Thancred & Minfilia. Why was this left out of the English version?

In terms of tribal Sunseeker Miqo'te, are -males- typically the leaders? We know that nunh are not usually also the leader of their tribes but what about Tia? Are females sometimes the leaders of seeker tribes?

Is there any way to know a regular Lalafell's family members or is it all just a case of someone saying they are related? We only have a convention for the royal lines. Is there no such convention for regular Lalafell or is it just nonconventional?

Previously it was said that Padjal are from Hyuran families. We've seen images of the dead before and when we met A-Towa-Cant, he seems exceptionally pale in comparison to 'ghosts' or others. Is this an indication that he might have been an Elezen before being chosen to be a Padjal?

Regarding the three major Grand Companies of Eorzea:
When we can expect to see an update that will make use of the eight ranks beyond the current maximum rank? Does it have anything to do with the fact that Ishgard has yet to form their own Grand Company?

Why can Ramuh summon Ramuh Egi's?

Can we learn a little more about why missing 1.0 areas such as West Shroud, Central Lowlands and southern Mor Dhona are not ingame? (Not going to include the eastern areas cause I'm sure just like western highlands we may see the east in the future.) We know the calamity hit them but more information would be nice especially if they ever will be rereleaseed into the game. The way the zones work right now it just seems odd to "skip" past certain areas. Will we possibly ever see them again or have any quests related to the areas that can add to the lore of them?

Also who decided that Dusk Vigil should have been moved to the Bane Pool? That seems very odd to me as well

Could you tell us about any Duskwight specific cultural practices?

It's been mentioned before that most are illiterate in Eorzea but in-game we see examples of people being able to read letters and posters. If most are illiterate, how can most of these everyday Eorzeans be able to read, write and respond to these? Is there some different type of vernacular?

In 2.0, we had instances of calling female knights 'Ser' such as Ser Heustienne. However, in 3.0 she seems to have lost this use. What's happened? Are female knights not given titles as Ser or is this a specific case for Heustienne? She is never referred to as Ser in her questline in 3.0, even when she is still a Dragoon except in an item description but not in quest or journal dialogue.

What do Highlander men and women like in their partners in terms of physical appearance? For example; would muscle on women be more appreciated over 'curvy' body types due to their culture surrounding around fighting?

In Ul'dah its widely recognised that the city is one where money can buy you anything, with this in mind is there an underground society where slaving and trading in illegal goods is very much the way of the game but only open to those in wealthy positions?

Fist of Rhalgr question. Is the Light sect connected to 'positive' emotions, whereas the Shadow sect is attached to 'negative' emotions?

How many years would did take for an Ala Mhigan Monk to fully unlock their respective sect?

Another First of Rhalgr quest: When did the Light and Shadow sect argument happen? Could you tell us more about this?

So in Void Ark, the boss Cuchulain spawns adds called Foobar, is that intentional like as a programming joke or did you guys forgot to rename them? :p

During the MSQ we see several dragons (Midgardsomr and Vidofnir) flying into Ishgard unchallenged. Where are the anti-dragon defences?

Why did Ishgard get permitted to joined the Eorzea Alliance? They have little to add but some trade, seeming all their forces are focused on Nidhogg's brood, and the other city-states are still being kept occupied by the Garlean Empire? What is the logic of gaining another enemy, the Dravanians, for the rest of the Eorzea Alliance?

Is the Chaos Data Center ever going to get a new World? JP has 32 NA has 24 and EU has 8, the player database on those 8 EU worlds is also considerably larger than the NA worlds. EU could use 1 fresh new world.

How likely is it to see lorewise the ingame classes if you were the average Eorzean citizen? For example Monks or Warriors?

We've seen the structure and military set up for each of the other three city states, any chance of us getting that kind of information for Ishgard?

Is it a concious decision for an aspiring Monk to become Light of Shadow sect, did the trained monks 'sense' this for them (given the Monk quest shows they can feel one another's sect chakras being different) or did they have a test of sorts for it? How was/is this decision made? Seeming Monks were either Light or Shadow only trained in the past until they fully unlocked their chakras on their respective sects, and started to duel the other sect to the death.

What was the type of lifestyle the Monks had back in Ala Mhigo? Did they all live at a temple ect? Could you elaborate on this?

What was the political and military hierarchy in Ala Mhigo?

Weddings in Eorzea, can you give us more information how the different races, city-states and cultures in turn deal with these affairs? Do they have their own rituals? Could you give us some examples?

Content generation for such a graphically detailed game is obviously time and resource consuming, and the amount of grind on the often single fights released per patch begins to wear people down (content drought if you will.)

In FFXI, a "customizable dungeon" system was implemented, and while it was obviously hampered by the game's technical limitations, the idea was pretty neat. What is the chance of seeing something like this, or any other outside-of-the-box variable content (procedural generation, randomized objectives, etc) in FFXIV?

Are the Martial/Halonic planispheres calibrated to find the Dragon Star? Also, would Sharlayan astrologians be able to make the same sort of tactical and strategic readings made at the Observatorium?

I have a question about the "Ring of Lasting Shelter" item, more specifically the naming of it. Like all Behemoth items that can be obtained from the token that drops from the Behemoth FATE, they're all references to the FFXI drops for King Behemoth. For the most part, everything that came from FFXI KB has had their names retained, in both the EN and JP text. However, the original "Defending Ring" was changed to "Ring of Lasting Shelter". My question is why is the English name so much different from FFXI to FFXIV, when it's clear that these items were a direct reference to FFXI?

The hardcore FFXI players have had fond memories of camping KB back in the day, so seeing this was a bit odd. Always bugged me since the start of ARR.

Can you give us an option to reorganize our LS list without having us to leave the LS's we're currently in to do so?

Is Greystone just the bastard name Haurchefant has, a Fortemps bastard name? Or do all of Ishgard bastard children go by that surname? Do the other city-states also have bastard names?

One major concern about repairing gear ourselves with dark matter tiers is that our crafters will not be at a specific level for us to repair them ourselves when they're about to break, depending on what type of gear it is and what crafter is required to repair them. Can you add a feature that can let other players fix your gear for you?

When is Hildibrand coming back?

Are you the lead vocalist in the King Moggle Mog song?
