Questions to Global Community Producer Toshio Murouchi

Could we get some swimsuit type of outfits for our character? Since we got swimming in the game, could we get some more swimsuits or gear that looks something around the lines as the Taffeta Shawl pieces? We see all of these sexy outfits for the enemies we have to fight so it would be nice to see more sexy gear please. Thank you. :3

For linkshells could we have a tracker for days since character was last active

I've had this happen to me and I've heard others talking about in the major cities so I'll put this question out there for the development team. Will a block free company invite feature ever be implemented into the game like how WoW has that blocks unwanted guild invites. I know this has been asked before in previous live letters but I believe it's something that should be addressed at some point seeing as no one like to be spammed with random invites as soon as they log in or go to the major cities.

Will the DRK aura from the announcement trailer ever return or be redone? The current DRK aura looks incredibly strange and off-putting.

As posted by a member of the forums on the Japanese board, the below image shows some interesting concepts for what a DRK aura could be. Surely there is a way to make the DRK aura look better and not just some faint red swirly lines?

Waymarks Messers

Just done a 24-man raid with 6 new players. As you know, Waymarks come in handy a lot..! But we had a childish player who kept on removing the placed markers for no reason except to see us all fail. Would it be possible to put in the chat log those who placed the markers and those who remove them? Of course with the ability to hide from the chatbox for those who wish too.

“Monica placed down Waymarker A”
“Phoebe removed Waymarker A”
“Rachel placed down Waymarker A”
“Ross of course removed Waymarker A”

Will we get any chance to get some items that were available in previous "special" events / promotions? Not just the seasonal event stuffs, i am talking about the Flying Cumulus and the Falcon mount or the FFX glamours (and more). I hope you know its not the players fault they were not available to the game at those time! I missed out a ton of these stuffs just because i did not even know FFXIV revived finally! (i started playing one year ago) Mogstation is a very acceptable option for these, i think i can say in most of the players name, that we would pay for those gladly.

Something very important (for me haha):
In "Recruit a friend" promotion, do we get a new 5th mount? I still have a lot of gold feathers left (maybe 12) but i am afraid to spend them on dyes because of the fear that i will miss a new mount! Sadly i can't earn any gold feathers anymore, i reached the max, even went beyond that with the callback campaign.

Hello Yoshi- P, first of all send you greetings from Spain. After all the success that this latest expansion is having, are there medium-term plans to see a translation of the game into Spanish? Thank you.

When are we getting Cloud's motorcycle mount? It's time guys. It's time.

Would it be possible to attach glamour plates to gear sets instead of the gear itself so that we could have multiple looks for one piece of gear?

Another inquiry that I would like to add is will there ever be a point where special mounts we gain on one character will be accessible to other characters on our service account? For example, my main is on Ultros, and I would like special mounts I've obtained on that character to be accessible to my other alts. There are a few MMOs that execute this beautifully and I would love to see it implemented into XIV at some point.

Can we get more Halloween Pumpkin heads with different faces? Right now I only have 4 heads to use and they all are smiling. Sad face, Angry face and Blank Stare would be nice.
I would also like Housing items to place in my house and outside such as; Trash Bags, Garbage cans, Piles of dirty Laundry and of course spoiled food.
I would like to be able to recreate my current living conditions in game.

It has become very clear over the last few months that the use of 3rd party tools to auto detect hunts when they spawn on a map has become rampant on servers.
You have stated that you wish for hunts to be competitive but right now the only ones who get to kill them are the ones who cheat.

Why are you not banning these players and will there be any effort in the future to combat the cheating with hunts?

Was a chocobo flying battle system with a zone suited for it ever considered by the dev team?

For years we've had people asking to be allowed to mail stuff directly to alts. Back in ARR there was a dungeon glitch many used to be able to friend their alts, and last month there was a teleport glitch where many could do the same. It's clear people want to be able to send stuff between alts, I personally would like to and this wouldn't affect my subscription with my retainers since I still find them useful for fetching stuff and storing items I'd prefer to keep to hand than having to pass them around multiple hands to store on an alt. It is very unfair that at present a lot of people can now mail items between their alts whilst those who didn't hear of the bug before 4.25 are still forced to either trust friends or own a 2nd account or personal companies to continue to pass stuff around. Will we ever get to legitimately mail stuff to our alts in the near future without having to pass through multiple hands?

two questions in one, would your art / dev team make the cerberus boss from W.O.D. into a mount? even if it was on the mogstation, since the moment i saw it ( the day w.o.d. dropped) i've always wanted a cerberus mount, and will the old ponies or mounts be able to fly in the future? Or also the cerberus mount (maybe like the slepnir glow, different color / effect?).
Thanks if at all possible

Botting activity is largely ignored and rampant on many NA/EU worlds. The measures in place to identify and punish bot users has been insufficient. Is it possible for you to develop a new method for identifying botting or increase the STF team size for NA/EU datacenters?

The 1,000 character limit per post on the forums is too low. Please consider increasing it.

More Variety In Housing Glamours

We have a lot of housing glamours in the game right now, such as the moogle house, paissa house and carbuncle house, but I feel they seem to be all based on "cute" themes.

Could we please have more "elegant" or "dark" housing glamour themes? I'd love a house that looks like Haukke Manor!

Summoner Egi Glamours

What is the current state of the situation regarding Egi Glamours, and when can we expect to see new ones added?

Final Fantasy XI Job Gear

Eureka has given me a lot of nostalgia for the days when I used to play Final Fantasy XI. Would it be possible to add Final Fantasy XI job gear as glamour items within Final Fantasy XIV?

I'm relaying this question from a friend, I don't play dark knight so I've no idea if it does have issues or not, so here goes...

Quote:

Dark knight feels clunky and needs a buff, too much mp costs and constantly use of dark arts - war is way overpowered compared to drk - their defensive cd, their health regain, their raw power, it just blows drk away in raid utility, damage etc without losing anything.

Lord of Verminion

With the Feast receiving so much support in the form of community team podcasts and live events, are there any plans to extend that treatment to other content like LoVM? It's much easier to watch and understand than arena style combat, and has the high skill ceiling of an rts. The Feast keeps getting pushed as an 'esport' by the development team, but frankly LoVM is a much better candidate.

Third party program afk gathering is every bit as bad to the game-world economy as RMT but its much more difficult to report, have the reports investigated by the gms, and very rare to see it discouraged.

As an addition to this, what is being done to combat botting in PvP and PvE content? We've seen a HUGE increase in botting in PvP content since the addition of experience, and the reduction of experience has had no effect since botters don't care about the time to experience ratio. Botting in PvE content has also been an issue for years but less of a problem due to the limited party size and ease of kicking (generally PvE botting is done for RMT activity and bots go in as premades). With the release of Eureka, botting in PvE content is starting to increase.

I have many many questions.
1.Are you going change the mount riding system in Eureka? And or well you be adding and more NM so the lower level peoples can living with out running in high level mob areas.
2.Can monk pleaseeee get a different limit break?I know it's a tribute to Tiffa" but I'm over it. I want an orginal limit break. Eye of the tiger that's all I am saying.
3.Can we get more then 1 content to do? Because after I'm done I have nothing to do. Yes all my jobs are 70 so I literally have nothing to do but get armor.(I am not about that savage life).

4. Speaking of armor the coins to upgrade armor. Think it would be better if they dropped 2 instead of 1. Have to get armor for all my other jobs it's disheartening having to keep going in there for 1 coin at a time.
5. I made this a a suggestion a long time ago but...Can we get a content of towers one tower for past villains and one for past heros? Maybe get the armor or weapon or both from the fights.
I don't know if it's possible but i think it would be a good content.
6. Can gathering/crafting soul crystals for all job?I give new names for each upgrade.Planned it all long ago.can just be 1 crystal for all gathers and 1 for all crafters.

7. Can we get dyeable wall paper, full set of carby,moogle,primal furniture. Including wall paper/flooring. (I think ifirt flooring should have moving flames).
8. Back to Eureka Need to give more experience point. I know you just added it BUT.... The lost to get ratio not adding up. Lose 9k and fates dont even give that much. Killing mobs do not even give close. Either more experience or less experience lost.
9. CanFlee button need to just put it back as it originally was?
Trying to get bk to a. Boss fight with like 3 sec of running not working. Orignal run without TP lost.
All the questions I can ask now. I have many more but, It would take forever to list them all

Last one I can think of...think you should make Hunts into minions so people will do them more. Not just SB ones. Can we make that happen?

Have you guys thought of reducing the 3 second global cooldown on all abilities? It would help dps and healers put out more dps and heals instead of waiting every 3 seconds. in 3 seconds they could get off 2 abilities instead of 1 or even 3 if your that good.

Please let us send mail to alts! We are not all rich here! or just let us talk to our friends and our guild while in dungeons! lol

Please explain the Ungermax bans in more detail. In a game like Everquest, for example, the ill-gotten gains were removed from all players involved when someone was caught cheating. "Involved" was based upon on a preponderance of the evidence and could be appealed.

So my questions is, what happened to all the people who knowingly benefited from Ungermax? Are they banned as well or are they still running around with their titles and flashy weapons?

It was widely reported that some Free Companies, and coordinated groups of individuals, "report bombed" players whom they viewed as competition for their desired housing plots on the eve of Shirogane's housing launch. The result was that some players had temporary bans and couldn't log in the next day.

How prevalent was this, have steps been taken to prevent it from happening again, and did the players who participated in it get to keep their houses?

I'm a player in an NA server, but I live in South America. Often I've wanted to take part in community events such as the Gear Design and Hairstyle Design contests, but the big "NORTH AMERICAN RESIDENTS ONLY" on the Terms always discouraged me. If I placed within a contest, would my design be disqualified just for having the wrong kind of home address? Or could I just let go of any physical prizes (such as shirts and etc) but still receive in-game ones, and/or have my design implemented?

Can we look forward to getting some wearable ascian gear glamour in game like ingeyorhm an lahabrea on the mogstation soon?

Would it be possible to have a vendor outside of the gold saucer to sell triple triad cards to?

Would you consider using another system for taking in questions for future live letters? Using forums means that once the thread gets to 10+ pages, it becomes unreasonable to expect people to read everything.
There are other list websites that would be much more suited for LiveLetter questions than forums, allow for searching (impossible to search in here since the search won't look in a specific thread), and let people submit categories.

When is the 1000 character limit in the forums going away?

It's really annoying and computer users can circumvent it anyway by editing. This is to the point that many frequent forum-goers simply make a post with something like "edit incoming" as soon as they reply because they full expect that they'll hit the 1000 character limit easily.

Job Bardings

For some years now we only had chocobo bardings for a few jobs. With Eureka we finally got a new one - the Red Mage. Are there any plans in the works for us getting more bardings based on the other jobs? I still, so very much, would like to dress my bird up like a Bard.

When can we expect FFXIV GO to be released?


Why are you laughing?

Can we get more spoof ff14 videos?
The april fool's one seems like it was well received and I really want a spooky spoof ff14 vid for halloween!

A lot of people use third party program to monitor party dps. While it has it's uses, to confirm and improve ones own dps or to more easily prove World First clears, it is way more often used against players that do not perform as good at the top 10% of playerbase. Especially since Stormbloods release me and many others have noticed an increase in this behavior, and it is turning a lot of players away from not just raiding and other Endgame content, but the entire game as well. A lot have already quit as they perceive party finder as too toxic, and I have even seen close friends become obsessed with numbers and judge others solely on their dps numbers on ACT or Fflogs. Are you ever going to adress this problem? I know it is hard to regulate things like these, but there should be at least some punishment for behavior like this, as it just runs rampant and destroys the fun in raiding, primals and even lower level content for a lot of people.
