Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XLII! (Exploring Patch 4.2)

Any plans to let us change the order of our Linkshells?

Please add more Glamour Plates.

When will we be able to use Plates on our Squadron or Retainers?

Any news on the Cross-Server Linkshells?

Is there any link between Reisen Temple to any particular location in FFXI?

Are there any plans to add more squadron members? It was fun to find and collect the ones i liked and in the process, it made me do things that i usually dont do, like PvP or Triple Triad. Maybe it could be used as an incentive to revisit older content too.

Can you explain the reasoning behind requiring tanks to have crafted penta-melded 350 accessories over 370 raid accessories for best overall damage? This makes raiding Omega: Sigmascape Savage (O5S) unrewarding. The same situation existed in Omega: Deltascape and was not addressed. Thank you.

Can we look forward to seeing wearable ascian gear glamour in game like ingeyorhm an lahabrea up on the Mog Station soon?

FF11 had a system called Sinister Reign where you could fight against random heroes for rewards. Can you implement this into FF14 and fight against fellow heroes such as: Scions, grand company leaders, job quest npcs or nation leaders?

Will you be adding any extra single player battles for the Lords of Verminion?

⦁Are you planning another Amazon event(where you get a mount and clothing) any time soon? I was surprised there wasn't one for dissidia and dissidia opera Omnia release

In regards to the new Primals, will you be adding Kirin (possibly in the form of an Ultimate Fight) to the series as well?

Are there any plans to add more job specific flying mounts? For example: a giant fairy/book for sch or Valefor for smn? and Any plans on adding Daigoro as a mount?

:confused:
I'm not a raider or really into the raid scene...at least not yet. But why isnt there no weapon drops in the Scalla, Hell's Lid, or Fractal dungeons? I dont raid so i cant get the Raid weapons & buying crafted weapons (I320 & I350), cost wise is ridicious. Can we get weapon drops in the new dungeons for us non raiders???

The two Thavnarian sets released a few years back was wildly popular and my favorite glamour to be released so far and I was wondering if we can look forward to getting more Thavnarian themed clothing and furniture items?

There is a huge lack of simple tops in the game like the hempen camise that are not very cropped or too fancy looking/look like shirts. Would it be possible to look into adding more similar tops in the future that also do not change depending on which race you are? Or alternatively make all the different models for the camise available to all races?

Thoughts on getting some "hardcore" 4-man content for end game? Something between Extreme Primals and Savage 8-man raids for difficulty so smaller groups of friends can have some challenge for themselves?

Do you have any plans in the future to separate Au Ra horns from face type?

What do you plan on doing about certain Free Companies splitting their Free Company up into many multiple smaller Free Companies to bypass the ban on having more than one house per Free Company after the recent housing changes? I know that only so much can be done to police enforcement of this policy, but there are also some unusually egregious examples of exploiting the game systems to bypass the rule limiting the number of houses that can be owned by one player / group. Why, with continued limited housing, are certain FCs allowed to flout the rules regarding housing and own 30+ houses tied back to the same root Free Company? Some of which appear likely to have been purchased (NOT relocated) since patch 4.2.

Can you add more large and medium plots for people to feel like they are not being left out?

I always wonder that myself. Who still uses ALLIED SEALS. Increase Centurio seals to 4k

When can you consider adding instance wards for those who do not prefer having neighbors?

Instead of making recycled gears, can you make them dyeable for every old dungeons and raids? So that you can add gears with new designs. If anything, please add previous contestant designs to prevent from recycling.

Can you expand on why you chose to add 2 50 dungeons to command mission?

While Dzemael Darkhold was appreciated, being a level 44 dungeon it was filling the gap between Stone Vigil (41) and Wanderer's Palace (50), there is also a big gap between Brayflox(32) and Stone Vigil(41), and a gap between Toto-Rak(24) and Brayflox(32) that needed addressing. There are also people who want 51-60 dungeons. So adding 2 level 50 dungeons when there was already a level 50 dungeon was a bit of a disappointment.

Thank you! I feel the same way.

Was there a reason why you only added 5 wards instead of 10? People are still finding ways to buy entire wards with only free company restrictions. Please add more or make a separate instance ward or plot.

With the new housing purchase restrictions in place, will we see the apartment system expanded and their functionality increased? Small, medium, and large apartments would be a good compromise for people that want housing on their alts!

Also, please don't scrap Ishgard housing again! A lot of us would still love it!

Can you please allow alts to visit their personal housing and share furnishings?

Can you make achievements, minions and mounts be considered as account bound instead of character bound?

In addition with the recent housing items, along with how the new Gold Saucer minigame showing one, is there any chance for a mannequin to become a housing item that we may be able to change with different gear? Weapons racks also make an appearance within Squadron rooms and would be nice to have that in player housing.

Any news on FC alliance?

The newest PVP Glamour is just amazing...except for the Caster Bottoms. Why did you use what appears as Asian Styled Culottes for a Rome Inspired Set instead of the far more appropriate "Loin Cloth" style the rest of the sets have? It really detracts from the look of the rest of that outfit.

Why does the Maki PVP set only show up on the Salvager after you get the complete set with title instead as you collect the separate pieces?

Continuing on that though, why does the level 1 set from the Gold Saucer not count toward the title since it takes quite an investment of MGP to collect it?

I have all the I330 gear & accessories. Since I dont raid, I dont get the items I need to exchange for the lost allagan twine & glaze so can increase my I330 items to I340. My only other option is the Mythic Clans logs. 6 clan logs (3k Centurio Seals) for 1 item. I dont think so! Can there be an option to use the Creation Tomestones to purchase these items? The Twine can be sold for 750 Creation Tomestones & the Glaze can be sold 500 Creation Tomestones.

Will the level 70 Artifact Armor be added to the Armoire, like the level 50 version was?

Will we ever be able to transfer apartments?

Would you Consider adding upgraded apartment units like a suite and penthouse?

Frontline PvP question

What is the status on the Map Rotation System for Frontline that Yoshi-P talked about implementing? 4.25 or later?

Is there a possibility we might get trials from the new Hildibrand story in SB like we used to get in ARR?

Please Allow Housing Tenants to Reset the Auto-Demolition Timer

This will at least ensure that friends who paid the owner to co-own will continue to own it if they ever take a break.

In 4.2, you introduced amazing new sets of PVP gear. However, I was quite disappointed when I discovered there were no matching weapons, which is not how things have been in the past.

Will you please introduce weapons that match the new PVP gear?
