Ask Questions for the Letter from the Producer LIVE: NA Fan Fest(Exploring Patch 3.4)

At the end of the MSQ's, I was a bit sad about the fate of the Party of Darkness. My heart yearns to them, and I want to help them in their plight. Mayhap there be a chance to see them again and assist them?

When can I punch the Lala of Darkness? Healer vs Healer :-D

I loved the idea of action times, it was pretty awesome to do. Will we have more of them in future trials, dungeons, and raids?

will there be in the future a skill that let us scholars play and heal with their pets itself when scholars die, to aid the raid for a short time a last chance heal spell to use the pet on screen i mean the movement too avoiding attacks as a fairy

any new race ? that is more elegant
i mean even goddes sophias body is great can we get a body option like that?

Are there plans either to make the existing Moogle outfit, or a new version, acquirable?

In FFXI, when a brave soul named Hempknight from Phoenix server requested a Cheese Sandwich at a fan fest, you granted his wish and made the mighty cheese sandwich available to all players.

Will you not only do the same for FFXIV, but go a step further and provide us with a Cheese Sandwich Platter, so that we may feast on this famous delicacy in our Free Company dining halls?

Thank you for your consideration.

Any way we can get the option to use emotes freely in /gpose?

It was nice to see the Alpine Coat as a reward during the MSQ. What are the chances we will get more clothing Ishgardian NPCs wear, as quest/Gold Saucer rewards or otherwise?

Would it be possible to add dye-able hairbands for the hairstyles that use them? Alternatively, maybe use the highlight color to determine this or simply add a few more choices for each style that aren't white?

Could you please make it so that new players get everything, dungeons and features, unlocked from the start of the game so they can catch up to us faster, easier and in any way they feel like? not forcing anyone to do any content they don't want to, just to get to some content they do want?

Have some friends who tried the game but who could not stand questing in this game and therefore just gave up on everything else as well. It does not need to be this way. Please make it easier for new players to just start playing and doing whatever they want to do, and nothing else =)

This will never happen due to story-locked dungeons. Plus the others are attached to quests.

I noticed Patch 3.4 did not add more Beast-Tribe costumes to purchase. Are there any plans to add more such outfits in the future, particularly those in 2.x?

will palace of the dead count toward the dungeon achevement like to get to 300 or 1000:)

this is for those been on for like 6 months or 1 year+ could you show how long you be on like vet rank 7 or how long you been on like 1year of you server account so those menters not invite vet in to novice chat for those have a sever accounts over a year shuld have a gold star on the character sheet in game

When personal apartments were announced, I was secretly hoping it would be similar to FFXI Mog House, with extra space to store armour sets and items. Most of the furniture in FFXIV does nothing, except housing food, potted plants and the few "access" furniture like summoning bells. You can lie on a couch and sit in a chair, you can turn lamps on or off, but you can't store items in wardrobes, chests or bookshelves. Are there any plans to add more functional furniture?

The WXHB has given us a lot more freedom in how to play the game, however there has been one thing I've noticed about the options for it. It seems my left and right hands have different reaction speeds; is there any way to adjust the input timer individually for the L and R buttons?

Spaghetti Pescatore (HQ) has Accuracy+5% (Max 53) which means to gain the full 53, you need to have 1060 accuracy, SIGNIFICANTLY over the accuracy required for anything. Could the accuracy be bumped up to +8% (Max 53)? This would enable players to utilize it to meet the accuracy checks for Alexander: The Creator (Savage). I am not asking for this on all of the four star foods as the rest of the stats will provide something to the player for reaching the required 1060 of the stat, whereas accuracy is useless when above 700~715 or whatever the Alexander Prime accuracy number.

HQ FC Crest Emblems

Can you please increase the resolution of these crests so that they can appear larger on costumes and gear? The crests have been very tiny and I hope the gear can show off our pride in our FC a bit more.

Will we see a housing area in Ishgard? If so, when we can expect to see it happen? :D

Will the 「Duality」 Album contain an arrangement of Equilibrium/Sophia the Goddess BGM?

Will we be seeing moogle mailbox near apartments? Because it's kinda ridiculous to not have one when you go to the apartment. If I wanna spend time there and do things it be nice to have one outside or even in the lobby would be nice. Please make this happen. A lot of people I know have complained lol.

3.4 : with the easy clearance of Alexander Creator Savage, do you make this intentionally? Players will get bored faster and won't be able to have anything to "look forward" to in doing end-level contents.

Expansion: will the expansion taking some from FF11 example like "The Treasure of Ala Mhigo" oops "Aht Urghan" whereby we will NEED to sail to Al Zhabi/Whitegate in this case Ala Mhigo? Does that mean Blue Mage will be in this expansion just like the FF11 ones? Also Besieged? I can't wait to have Besieged in FF14 world!!!

The playlist option for orchestrions was a nice addition, but with each song looping only once, the switch between tracks sometimes feels rather abrupt. Would it be possible to increase the amount of time each song plays for before they switch to the next track?

I was hoping for a "living liquid" type minion, since we had the Alexander boss from Gordias and the Liquid Flame added in 3.4. Is there still a chance for one of these to be added?

With this recent patch, names for all of the Warriors of darkness were revealed, with the sole exception being the lalafell's name. What is the devout of darkness' name?

Hi. Any chance you can make it so that the Moogle Arms (from the Moogle Attire set) tuck into the sleeves of the Body piece being warn? They overlap the sleeves and somewhat limits my glamour options. Maybe Moogle Paws? (o^_^o)

1) Will we see more wards and plots for high populated servers more than other servers in regards to personal and Free Company housing?

2) Will we see more housing furnishing slots than right now for 4.0? There are more furnishings appearing every patch, but the slots are limited for players to decorate their houses.

3) Is there a possibility in the future we will see housing to be upgraded from small to large by working on their gathering, crafting and hunting? To encourage players to play more gathering, crafting and even hunting out for creatures to upgrade their housings.

4) For those who have multiple alt characters, is there a way that a player could get mount, minion, or even achievements be account bounded than character bound? Can we get armory bonus for alternative characters should the player achieved everything on their primary character?

Is there a possibility that we can watch the past 1.0 cutscenes and dialogues, or even "travel back in time" through the side story mode? Like Minstrel to allow us to fight 1.0 bosses such as Nael van Darnus etc.

Will you add squadron fantasia so that we can alter our squad member's name/race/looks?

Why Paladin still doesn't have a potency/damage on Flash? The blind effect is almost useless.
While on the topic of Paladin, please make Shield Swipe work basically like Low Blow. An ability you can use whenever you want and the blocks can reset the cooldown. It could help with PLD single target damage and aggro. If the Jobs are truly tuned for the harder endgame, the pacification shouldn't even matter most of the cases since the bosses are immune to it.

Please make Blood Price give a MP Refresh to Drk, even if it means you have to reduce the mp restored by taking damage. This would help to better the synergy between DRK and WHM's Holy.

Please make it so after you parry a move *make parry work with magical attacks as well* Tanks get a damage buff for a short period of time. After all, after a parry comes a riposte... * that way parry is always useful for all tanks, even for those that doesn't have a "riposte" skill, like Warrior*

Yes, yet another fix parry reply.

yeah was wondering with the next expansion will we be getting a new Race and if so any details on it? myself I would like to see a wolf kind of race like a Miqo'te but be hyur/wolf instead of the hyur/cat like them.

Something like the sun version would be more silver/white with wolf like eyes that glow little more then normal and the moon ones be more of the brown/black with the Sclera or whites of the eye being black with once more a little more glowing iris's.

something hasn't been done or seen before in FF

Can we get Julyan Manderville's outfit from this patch for glamour?

i was wondering why their isnt an unranked 4v4 solo mode? it sometimes gets frustrating getting people new to pvp in ranked when all their trying to do is try pvp out

Season 2 of the feast ( 4 v 4 Solo ) has had some major problems, especially on the NA Data Center. One of these problems is in regard to how the duty finder allows players into the feast. Currently, to get into the feast you need to have an average of item level of i150. This unfortunately new players or griefers to que up in the feast wearing gear levels 1->60 (usually low item lvls below 150)

These players have low Health Points, Low Overall DPS, or low Healing Power.
Would it be possible to make it so the duty finder checks all gear and ensures that all items of gear are item lvl 150 instead of an average?

Samurai please?

When updating Squadrons will i be possible to incoperate more interaction? like NPC dialogue and such

Also, I remember a certain trend regarding furniture. When the furniture was implemented, certain pieces required materials from dungeons, however that seemed to change around 3.4 with only one new dungeon furniture being made (The Dead Man's Chest), and we haven't seen any furniture that required dungeon mats outside raids since, (and even then Midas and Mhach don't have any new furniture). I want to know what caused this change?
