Ask Your Questions for the Mini Letter from the Producer LIVE at TGS!

Can we expect another party role in the future, besides Tank, Healer and DD? Maybe buffer/debuffer?

Thanks and keep up the awesome work!

Will we ever get a drake or raptor mount and is there any possible way the raptor can be a flying mount? (please)

I appreciate the option to disable flytext that was added after Phase 4 but currently it is an "all or none" approach. Are you planning on adding a way to filter flytext in the future i.e. just your own, just party, everyone?

Will we be able to go into instances/ primal fights / dungeons solo?

why? because I want to collect achievements points. Since strangers on duty finder tend to rush things, so I don't have time to explore the map. So that why I would appreciated if we can go in solo so we can reveals the rest of the map.

And with that, i would like to personally say, thank you for the super awesome game. It is really great to see someone imagination comes to life.

Any plans to increase the drop rate from Mobs? HQ Drop rate ?

Lastly, I want to Congratulate Yoshi-P and his entire Production Staff for a beautiful, vibrant world which is ARR. :) Thank you for all the hard work.

Do you plan to support Keyboard Only gameplay? The feature was available from 1.0 as well as in FFXI, but apparently didn't make it into 2.0. Would it be possible to bring this back?

You could chat with people before the dungeon starts to discuss strategies etc. Premade parties would be able to queue faster. Players could search through the different parties forming and join games manually instead of waiting to be randomly matched up. Parties could let people know what sorts of setups they're looking for etc.

2. Are there any plans to include more graphics options we can adjust such as draw distance and number of characters displayed to further improve graphics perfomance and allow a wider range of computers to play this game.

GO PLAY LEAGUE

Any chance at all of adding the instance fights for the relic quest to Duty Finder? Having more trouble actually getting a group than the boss fights themselves.

When we'll see 'sea' expansion with the possibility to sail into the ocean with own crafted boat to find lost islands and swim around?

Let me start off by saying that I'm greatly enjoying the game, it really is fantastic! With that said, I have two questions.

First, can we expect the world to open up a bit more as time goes on? Zones feature quite a few invisible walls that are fairly inconvenient and break the immersion. Are there plans for this to be eased as time goes on and maybe even lead into things like swimming in open water?

Second, when I play games I love to collect things. In MMOs my collecting itch is usually scratched with pets and mounts and I especially love those only obtainable through special promotions. Can we expect more promotional tie-ins for minions or mounts in the future? Maybe even cross promotions with other Square Enix MMOs like Final Fantasy XI or Dragon Quest X? I'd love nothing more than to have a Slime follow me around Eorzea!
