Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XVII!

Though I'm sure this has been asked alot, can you tell us any more about new jobs like rogue and ninja, or maybe others?

Could we get the personal rooms added to the inn's, so we don't need an fc house?

We know musketeer was planned at some point, there's too much evidence for that, so can you tell us WHEN we will get it?

Why can't we speak to our Free Company in Frontlines? It's very isolating.

I haven't heard of any more primals after shiva? So after her will there not be any more primal battles or will there be new primals?

With kh3 and ffxv on the horizon, are there any plans to have crossover events with those like you did with ffxiii, ffxi, and dragon quest?

Is there a possibility we could ever fight Bahamut himself as a primal fight?

Will we ever leave the "safety" of Eorzea and take our war with the empire to Garlemald?

Will you ever include the option to let dungeon background bgm loop like it does in in the lost city of amdapor and tam tara hard mode?

When can we have a personal fishing boat so we can go on fishing trips together?

Can we please get more hair style options?
Will we be able to get promoted further up from Second Lieutenant in GC soon?
Can we also get a emote or something so we can pet our minions?
Can we also have a change pose for our character when they doze?
Some of the poses don't look to comfortable. For instance female Miqo'te.
Can we also make some of the emotes work while your sitting on the ground?
Like stretch doesn't do anything and a few others are like that too.
Also can we get more dances? Those are fun to have.
Will we be seeing new crafting jobs soon too?

When can I wear a cape and look like a Judge from FFXII?

What is your stance on damage meters being added to the game?

Currently nearly every endgame top tier fc uses parsers and many will not even consider PS4 players applications. PS4 players have no way to gauge their damage output and are looked down upon.

From what i've read, it is legit to use a parser, but not okay to talk about it in game. This creates a double standard by which only PC players will have access to knowing what their damage output is to improve their rotation and down endgame content.

I believe PS4 players should have access to the same type of advantages in game or you should remove the use of the parser altogether if you truly didn't want anyone knowing damage outputs, but all you are doing right now is enforcing a double standard policy.

The Final Fantasy XIV event in Las Vegas sold out way too quickly (I didn't have enough time to request off work, that's depressing).

Will there be another event next year, and will it be held in a larger venue?

Thanks so much for an awesome game so far SE!

Having played Final Fantasy XI quite allot a few years ago, one thing that has always saddened me is that Summoners can only summon "egis", not the true form of the iconic-looking primals/summons. I know that the egies are tied into the lore, but I'm sure that the people in SE could figure out a way to work the primal-looking summons into the game as summonable pets. Maybe just half the size of the primals we fight during the story.
My point is: I really like the look of the primals and as a summoner I would love to be able to summon them instead of the egis.

Any chance we can get the primals as summoner pets? Please?

Would we be able to obtain new gears that can enhance our jobs such as

<name of item>
STR 23 ACC 32
VIT 55 CRIC 32
"Enhance Grease Lightning"

And that increases our timer for GL stacks so monks could still output good damage in endgame while dodging many many mechanism's etc

Can we expect any mounts with bonuses? example; X mount gives 12% extra movement speed, Y mount gives Barheavy.

How long are we going to follow the formula of phasing out gear every 3 months?

Is there any chance to add Blitzball (Final fantasy X) as PVP game ?

Can you please give us more details on marriage?

Can you please add secondary Aetherite Crystals? Lower La Noscea and Coerthas Central Highlands are way too big to have 1 teleport point!

Is hunt going to be to fix?

Would you consider making it possible to glamour single handed weapons onto two handed weapons?
For example, a whm/blm wand onto a whm/blm staff?

I am not overly fond of some staves, but there are several wands I love, that also do not clip into my gear.

Would it be possible to change miqote tail types in the aesthetician?

Any word on when to expect a name change system? Even a surname change would be acceptable.
Possibly along with the marriage system?

Can you make it so there is a way to "opt out" of a fate when you are in a fate area? Currently when you are in an area where there is a fate, the fate becomes the main priority- as in the music starts playing and everything else on your duty list becomes less important and you can't see your list. This is extremely annoying if you're not there for the fate ( main examples are: leves/ maps/ trying to see active quests/ etc without having to go into our journal).

Any plans or considerations on adding the Favour System which was meant to be an April's Fool joke in the future patches?

I believe that a game like FFXIV is very suitable for the Favour System as it can make our character progression much deeper and helps us feel more involved in the FFXIV universe.

Can we get an "Appear Offline" status?

Have you guys considered or are planning on adding outdoor furnishing that has functionality with Minions (Vanity pets)?

For example a petting zoo, where players in a FC owned house can store one minion each, like the chocobo stable. This petting zoo would display 3, 5 or 10 minions (Depending on house size) out of a list of placed minions.
The displayed minions could be picked at random once per Eorzea day and the display limit would be in place to prevent too much server stress. With some fairly simple AI they could walk around inside randomly.

Will voiceovers ever be added to more NPCs in the city-states? Preferably most of them? I think a feature like that would bring the game to life.

Are animations, like the default A/D-based character turning, ever to be added to mouse-based character turning, (right-click)?

Will we ever be able to zone into an area that is more or less a dungeon like we used to do in FFXI? I enjoy using duty finder, but I also love to explore the map and dangerous caves and such.

What does a Goobbue taste like?

When you first start the game and you're in the "Coming to <city state>" portion, you can hear the music of the area from 1.0. Will we ever hear any pre-2.0 music in the game again at some point for let's say, certain areas?

After meeting Brendt/Brennan/Bremondt at the beginning of the game, you never see him again. Will we ever see him again?

A number of people are missing titles from achievements they accomplished in v1.0, are there any plans to address this?

A lot of players are now skipping relic quest as they need to start from beginning: relic> zenith> atma> animus>novus to get a relic weapon that is basically not much different than Primal or Soldiery ones whereby they only need to do ONE thing: Levi/Ramuh or accumulate tomes over time. The relic quest WILL just keeps on getting longer with new upgrades and won't look appealing especially for new players. As they can't skip to Novus stage and have to start all the way from the beginning. On top of that, it is expensive too (materia4). How will you entice them? Relic specific weapon abilities??? Customizing stats aren't THAT attractive for them since new players are generally poor and can't afford materia4 millions gils upgrade.

Will Rogue be available to play for all players or do you have to reach a certain point in the story to unlock the class?

Is it possible to make a HUGE tutorial for new tanks, explaining how enmity works, what needs to be done to hold enmity, how PROVOKE works. Enormous amount of inexperienced tanks shudders me, especially in endgame. :mad:

Is it possible to add an ingame calendar to the game? It'd be useful to see when upcoming events are taking place (and it'd also be useful for FC events)
