Ask Your Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE, Part VIII!

Will weddings be handled via NPC's or will it be managed by square staff similar to XI with a coordinator?

Will alliance loot in raids be handled via the same N/G/P system, or will we be able to assign a master looter to distribute drops/gear?

What is the re-entry time for 24 man raids?

As Materia level 5 currently only matches the Item level of Relic's from 1.0, will gear such as Relics, AF, Darklight, etc be available to "Forbidden" Materia Melding?

Given that Arcanist, Scholar & Summoner will also be able to summon Chocobo companions along with their respective pets can you provide more detail as to how these classes and jobs pet systems will function?

We were told at the end of 1.0 that your position in the relic quest will translate over to ARR. As the requirement for Hamlet seals is being removed in ARR, will this progress be lost or will this be replaced by another stage? (or did we just waste 2 months for nothing?)

Any idea on when the level cap my be raised?

Will Bahamut play a key role in the storyline like Chains of Promathia's Bahamut did in XI?

Any plans on adding a side saddle animation while riding chocoback while wearing a robe or other long equipment that gets in the way of our legs, in the future?

Are there any plans to add more than four face selections per race, and can we PLEASE separate beards from facial selection? I believe this will do wonders for adding some much needed variety between all our characters, since everyone is picking the same faces - and there aren't that many to choose from in the first place.

They already said they would look at this idea around the time of the first expansion

2.0's storyline has already been confirmed to revolve heavily around the primals and "Layer of Bahamut" is the 2nd 24 man raid which means he will be one of if not the last boss of 2.0 before another expansion is released (in all likelihood)

Will there be raid gear drops specific to each class / job for Crystal Tower / Layer of Bahamut? Darklight is a little murky between jobs such as Paladin and Warrior wearing the same pieces which leaves no distinction in their general appearance at this point aside from weapons.

What were the fastest recorded clearing times for Aurum Vale and Cutter's Cry in the original build? Were they clocked by players or by a dev. team?

Are there any future plans to shed light on some of the backstories of the major story NPCs that have been with us since 1.0--for example, the Grand Company leaders, Cid, and Minfilia? We've gotten little blurbs about them here and there before, but will we be able to find out more in a future update?

Voice Dialogue and Multiple Language Options
Will voices be added to quest dialogue from multiple NPCs at Phase 4 up to launch or will it be added later within patches?
I feel the game isn't as alive if there weren't any voices in this game at all since multiple MMORPGs have voices when talking to some NPCs.

My other question is will we have the option to choose a language we want to hear in the game with English subtitles being displayed during cutscenes.

Asking for a friend - Do you plan to release the Dark Knight Job anytime? Thank you ^_^

Will there be more disciples of the Hand & Land in future updates, or just War & Magic?

Since the release of Arcanist, will future classes require special unlocking quests, or will they be available at character creation like the rest?

About housing, once the personal housing wil be implemented, will i be able to share my house with my husband? Lets say, can we purchase a house together in order to live together? Maybe once we are married in the game, we will be able to build our own house?

I'm not here to ask any questions! Just thought ids drop in to raid a spot!! Oh, there needs to be snowboarding in XiV, big time!

...and zombies. XD

Please add Hip and Butt adjustment bar, we can adjust muscle tone and bust but "no booty". Also, A little more gender specific gear (sexier female gear). Make it hard to get if anything.

Will the current lvl cap be raised, and will we see more jobs from FFXI like BlueMage, Dancer, Samurai, or Theif ??? BlueMage was a favorite of mines and a friends.... Would love to see BlueMage.

Will the return of the Dhalmel sneak inside in A Realm Reborn?

Please look into gamepad setup. Most jobs (White Mage, Bard, Warrior ) have alot of weapon skills and ability toggles that dont fit on the gamepad setup. This might cause a problem during game play.

Will certain words or phrases like "lol", "hello", "yes", "No" etc... be connected to emotes like /laugh, /yes, /no etc...? For instance, if someone /say "All I got was dark matter lol", upon pressing enter, the character will do the /laugh emote.

Will we be able to expand on our Egi's? Will they grow in size or change in appearance as we level up summoner?

Can you show us how the free company chest or bank works?

Is there meaningful ongoing content players can look forward to besides Hamlet Defense?

Can we pre-order the digital download on PS3? If yes, the Collectors Edition Digital on Ps3 will be available for pre-order too?

What are you doing to increase the inter-connectivity of the realm?

Example of inter-connectivity:
player completes caravan mission. For every 100 missions completed, NPC prices are reduced by 1 gil. If 100 caravan missions are not completed in 3 days, the NPC prices go up.

Will other mounts be able to fight along side us like the chocobo mount can?

Can you show us voice acting?

Will housing inventory be unlimited/categorical? (Separate from the player's Bank Space) I myself am a HUGE housing item farmer, and it will be a main focus of my efforts. I would hate to lose myself in the throng of items I will no doubt accumulate.

住宅在庫無制限です？それともプレイヤーの銀行から分ける？ ありがとうございました!

Hey got a couple of questions ^.^
1. Now that we have seen the awesome Empire Judges is there any plan for a super hard battle against all 4 Judges (not comparing to ff11 but something like the Ark angels fight?)
2. Is there any plan to separate bard from Archer ( So like maybe in the future have class Musician and jobs that stem from that possibly Bard and Dancer?) Is just an example
3. Just cause i like my outfits is there any chance of getting the Opaline gear from ff11 ( i really loved that set ^.^)
Can't wait till Launch!!!! ^.~

I feel incomplete when using the Cross-bar. Gamepad users are much slower in this version of the game.

Will there be a way to use the old 1.0 set-up for gamepads? Maybe a "Legacy controller" option like the Legacy camera setting. Even being able to map buttons for ourselves would help a little.

What are your plans, if any, to utilize the Vita via Apps or remote play access?

Are there any plans to have weapon-skills turn into other weapon-skills upon combo on the action/hot-cross bar to free up space and not need a slot for each weapon-skill.

Can we have more information on frontline pvp battles???

Can you show us PVP?

Can we have more information on marriage?

Is there plans to make it able to use Magitek Missiles when you re mounted on the Magitek Armor?
