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

Hey hope you are well!

Was wondering would it be posible to have race exclusive animations made useable by all races and redone into a personality feature in character creation?
Something along the lines of where you pick a set for you warrior of light for example be able to have Viera use Au ra animations/emotes & sit poses.

Some FC's are small by choice, like mine where we only have 2-3 actively playing players. This makes tasks like the free company workshop hard to do due to the required party size and us just being a very small group of friends. Usually this results in us having to pay people to join a party and come to our workshop just to progress our creations.

Are there any plans or is it a possibility to remove the party restrictions on progressing creations in the workshop?

I figure given how long these things take to plan I may as well ask this now:

What are your current plans and thoughts on the implementation of high res textures and other graphics/character customisation options (touched on in this interview)? Can we expect to see any movement on this in time for 6.0?

Any new info on glamours for Summoner and Scholar pets? The white and black carbuncle would make good glamours.

On BLM:

1) As a long time BLM main, I was rather satisfied with how BLM has improved in 5.0, but I still feel the two new spells don't look awfully fantastic. Do you have any plans to revisit the visuals and sound effects for Despair and Xenoglossy?

2) Also, would you consider, in the future, reworking Aspect Mastery and Umbral Soul to be available at lower levels, as they smooth out the experience of the job considerably?

I do hope our turn for some elaboration on the rotation will come in 6.0.

Hi! I've been playing FFXIV since fall last year! Thank you so much for all the hard work when making Shadowbringers, the expansion was wonderful and I can't wait for what comes next in the story!

As for my question, are more customization options for Viera and Hrothgar being worked on? (Hats, more hairstyles, etc)

I was kind of wondering that then I realised there would be someone somewhere that would accidentially hit the button on accident or purpose because they didnt read and then compalin to Se about it in GE with some kind of why is this a thing in 2019.

This so much this, I've been running stuff with someone who gets extremely abrasive rather easily and it makes me feel bad that I got to bite my tongue.

Its more like the Eryut village in FF XII

This would be cool Dulia-Chai was super nice.

I am wondering about the hair myself but I would kill for my post moogle cap to be able to be used.

Will there be any updates to the new skills for Ninja?

Would it be possible to get some Vagrant Story inspired Gearsets? I would really like caster to have Sydney's Gear.

Can you please solve the Aura Male chin clip with SMN AF3 (Channellers Gear set please)

If you ever Split Summoner from SCH would you ever consider altering the SMN Weapon to something like Paper Talismans? (I know the answer is likely No, But a boy can dream and they would look epic )

Without spoiling anything specific, can we please get an Orchestrion roll for the last half of the last area in Shadowbringers? It's in my opinion the most beautiful piece of music I've ever heard from this game, and that's saying a lot considering how stellar the music's been in this game for years now. I know we get the first half of that area from FATEs/Bicolor gemstones, but I would love nothing more than the other half of that map's music as an Orchestrion roll
