Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXXVII! (Exploring Patch 4.0)

With combat and hotbars now being different for PvE and PvP, how frequently will balancing adjustments be made for jobs in both categories going forward?

Any plans to make housing permits account wide? Not only will this allow the player to access their house on all their alt characters on the same account, but this also gives people a fair chance to own a personal or FC house to those who don't have one already. There are numerous FC's and people who make it their sole purpose to buy out multiple houses and multiple wards to upsell them for extremely high prices. This should not be allowed. Is this not considered griefing?

In one of the new Summoner job quests in Stormblood, we see a new type of Egi being used by the enemy. I really like the looks of this new egi and was wondering if we will be able to use this in the future as a new egi glamour ?

Is there anything you can tell us about new egi-glamour in general ?

If someone hasn't already asked, who was behind the jump puzzles for the two Kugane sightseeing logs of the Shiokaze Hostelry and Bokairo Inn? The path up there was a journey full of many curses and wind-up suns and moons dotting it like a Christmas tree from various players to see the planks better at night, but the view from the top of the hostelry is amazing. So many screenshots during the varying times of day and weather conditions was worth it :D

Opinions on the current state of Scholar and Summoner? A lot of us feel as if they're under-performing with their counterparts (ie: SCH with WHM/AST and SMN with RDM/BLM).

Are we really comfortable with the speed at which raids are being released? Omega seemed very rushed, only two weeks into the expansion. I think a lot of us would be comfortable with 3-weeks to a month for the new raid and then perhaps another week or two for Savage. A lot of us are still leveling jobs and gearing our primary roles.

Will your writers be improving on Lyse and the Scions? So far the only good ones are Alphinaud and Alisaie, the rest are just so bland and the focus on Lyse throughout 4.0's story just dragged it down so hard. The Doma arc is the real highlight and everything about Ala Mhigo was just so awful.

check out my long post on this on page 31

What made you decide to not add Battlecraft levequests in Stormblood this time?

Will we be seeing Ascian in game glamour added to the game like Ingeyorhm?
