Ask Your Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part IX!

"A jukebox that can play various songs" - Camate. By reading this, I assume not all songs are readily available to the FC. Will there be music tracks unlockable through achievements or other actions in the game? By doing so, the player goes to the FC and inserts the "disc" to add to the FC's music selection.

With FC and player housing, when were you planning to implement chocobo breeding? I heard originally read that it would be along with housing now it seems that the information has vanished. Can we get more information on how players can enjoy this and what benefits it will have?

will there be Housing achievements?

I have a question and a lot of my friends too... will be posssible in future put event with old FF vilains and character? like FF7?

Will it be possible to, with the help of a friend, and perhaps through mining, tunnel from one house to another with private housing so that friends can link their houses in intricate fashions?
...
Or just to make a batcave...

For the Aquariums in the FC Housing, will Fishermen be able to drop their caught fish into the tank (depending on how large the tank is) and thus showing a live-scale model of the fish swimming inside. I ask this because during the Fishermen story quests, once you caught the requested story fish, they show a live-scale model of the fish being examined by the master. I'm sure this will be an awesome addition to the FC housing.

Job and/or class additions. Selfishly, i would love to have my samurai job in the game; but not just limited to that particular job, is there a roadmap of when to expect what jobs/classes to be implemented? roadmap {can i have it}?

The PC version has the option for the hot keys to be displayed as cross keys (PS3). Will the PS3 users have this option to be displayed as hot keys (PC) in the 2.1 patch? PS3 users could really use the extra skill slots but instead being forced to use macros.

Are there any plans to add a feature to add friends from different worlds to your list or perhaps rework the friends list to be account based, so you can track friends across multiple worlds and characters?

Ok i have a couple of questions to ask:
1) Will the Skirmish and Chocobo caravan content from 1.0 ever be added back to a realm reborn? Alot of players didn't get the chance to experience this content and feel it would be nice to see it return.
2) The drop rate of Primal Weapons from Hard mode is kind of inbalanced to say the least. Ive heard of several players running it hundreds of times and still no weapon drop. Any plans to adjust the drop rate of the weapons to make them just a tad easier to obtain?
3) In regards to extreme primal battles, can you give a little bit of details on what kind of rewards we will recieve for clearing them? As well as when and if there are plans to introduce a Ramuh primal battle?
4) Any information you can share about upcoming jobs being added to the game?

Will there be more types of gear added to the game? Every piece of gear in a sense looks the same(heavy armor is pretty much the same, leather armor etc.) Make some different designs for gear and more coloring options for the gear.

Is the furniture in our housing going to be interactive? Beds we can sleep in, chairs/couches to sit in, showers to use, stoves to cook on etc?

Will we be able to add walls and doors to the inside and outside of our houses? Maybe fences around the yard...

Will there be any plans to reduce the time players are locked in place during raise animation and when performing limit breaks (especially the healer limit breaks) as they lock the character in to 1 spot for slightly too long.

Will more Free Company Chest tabs be added in the future?
There's currently room for about 15-20, but there's only the 3. My FC has had it filled pretty much since it was formed...

Any chance the 'return to inn' feature will be reimplemented? Or could there be a 'return to free/personal house' option implemented?

Will the free company house be purchased with gil or with free company credits?

Probably in the future. Expansion of FC Levels past level 5 might add to the tabs.

Is the Fleece and Diremite Web going to be changed to Botanist drops instead?
Since at the moment it´s over priced on the market board, every day there is 50´s there farming them making leveling weaver hard, tedious and annoying and very expensive.

Are you planning to get rid or significantly lower the built-in delay of 300ms?

Are there any plans for European data centers in the future? as server lag does seem to gimp some European players in terms of dodging attacks or such.

When are we getting actual OPEN WORLD END GAME CONTENT that is not FATE? Stuff like force pop NM, etc.

Will there be any sort of ranking system for the PvP arena? (It doesn't make so much sense for some of the other pvp content in development but an arena should have a leaderboard)

"Android version coming soon!" Will this be coming on Friday, October 11, 2013 same as the website version ?

will housing allow for FC members to combine crafting skills to create complex crafts that span multiple crafting classes, similar to synergy in FFXI? Beneficial FC furniture, FC airships? What about crafting Magitek gear for the FC members?

Thank you.

I really like this idea, and as long as they build clients for ALL mobile (smart) platforms then I could really get behind it. There is too much of an impact on the game world compared to things like Libra Eorzea which favour some platforms and ignore others.

When will we see the first new classes/jobs added to the game?

What plans are there for open world content?

As a French player, I really enjoy the content since beta 3.
The game was really agreeable to play especially dungeons during beta 3.
I really loved the Brayflox longstop.
Now, because of network lag, the game has become a nightmare to play,
not because of the content or difficulty of the dungeons,
but because the client-server updates have several seconds of freeze every ten seconds.
I mean : the picture and the local animations keep being fluid, the mobs and playable characters HP,MP,position freeze for 2 to 15 seconds every 10 seconds.

- Can you please contact the 3 main ISP in France and check with them peering and routing so that network throughput to your datacenter is ok ?
- Can you stop calling the american datacenter "European" since it is located almost 6000 km away from Europe? Just call these servers American servers.
- Do you have plan to place some servers in Europe?

Are you going introduce quests any time soon that will go more into the culture of the different races that has not been covered in game yet? Such as the background of the "missing genders" and why they are present now or Moon Keepers in general?

Are you planning to incentivize lower level dungeons for higher level players? Either by scaling the awarded experience, gil, and other rewards to the players unsynced level, or by awarding tomestones or uncommon crafting materials at the completion of a dungeon that has already been completed?

Are you planning on expanding the content that qualifies for "cut-scenes" in The Unending Journey? As it stands now many quests have scenes that do not qualify as a "cut scene" for purpose of being viewed in the book.

Will we ever be able to use our Legacy Chocobo as our fighting companion, give it a name or change its gear!?

And more like a petition, but will you ever add an option to make the chat BG completely black? {The current transparency makes it very difficult to read the text in quite a few environments!}

Will we ever be allowed to recolor our Magitek Armor, and don't say it can't be done, because Livia has a white one!

Are you going to recompense players who acquire their Gil legitimately and have them taken away because the source is tainted? Will you continue to take negative action against legitimate players for things entirely out of their control? Why are the people who used RMT gold to buy the items from crafter have no action taken against them while the legitimate players themselves get suspended and have their Gil taken away?

when can we fight Leviathin?

Will the leader board for PVP be implemented in patch 2.1?

When is the patch coming out? Something other than "this year" would be amazing.

Will we have an option to sell a stack "stack only" in the market boards? So people can buy singles from the stack unless specified as stack only by the seller.

What exactly are you doing to make the primals a little easier to beat?

Why actions have cast/recast time in two decimal point accuracy (ie 2.48s, 1.76s...) whilst in macros we can use /wait command with no decimal points allowed? (ie /wait 1, /wait 2, /wait 3, /wait 4...)
Is it intentional to limit the usefulness of macros or overlooked error and going to be fixed?
