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

4.2 brought a few QOL adjustments,some of which people wanted, some of which people didn't but thought it was "cool I guess".

Can we get a future live letter devoted to QOL enhancements? With QA so that people can list out all the QOL adjustments they might want.

It certainly feels like every day I see someone go "why can't I do this? How did none of their testers see that this is annoying?" over something (some of which have existed since 2.0), whether it's having the same warning prompt over and over again in chocobo stalls for people training their entire FC's chocobos, or not being able to do some action because of being mounted.

Certificates of Recommendations are very much appreciated for those few people lucky enough to get 3 lines in Wondrous Tails, as it essentially allows them to choose their prize by using a Gold/Silver certificate.

Are there any chances that the 1 and 2 line rewards also receive their own commendation certificates so we can choose our rewards from those reward tiers as well?
example:
Line 1 gives Jade/Amber certificates.
Line 2 gives Garnet/Peridot certificates.

If so, can the commendations be upgradable?
So that way people who have NEVER gotten 3 lines can over time eventually get something from it?
example:
20 Jade certificates = 1 Garnet certificate (Line 1 certificate-> Line 2 certificate).
20 Garnet certificates = 1 Silver certificate. (Line 2 certificate-> Line 3 certificate).

4.2 has some nice furniture additions but players who already have 40 items with the little white arrow above them can't use them without getting rid of other interactable items. Yoshida mentioned on a server Q&A that increasing it would be stressful. Is it something we as players can select how many we can see in the settings menu?

Are there any plans to introduce a Centurio Tracker NPC?
Much like the weather NPCs, this NPC could keep track of the respawn timers of hunts in various areas. This could be a surefire way for players who are dedicated to hunting to attempt to spawn S ranks or search for A ranks, and eliminate some of the issue the Hunt community is currently having.

The new inventory format sure has a lot of space for key items. Was this done just to avoid having the look of "unusable" slots, or will there be more need for key items in the future?

Personally I'm hoping it's because all fishing bait & tackle will be converted to key items so that our key item inventory becomes the long-requested tacklebox.

A while back we were teased in a reply by a community rep that the Chocobo Boots worn by the keeper at the Chocobo Square in the Gold Saucer might be added to the game.

Please, with the newly added ease of glamouring and glamour plates, can we finally get these boots for those of us who need it to complete our chosen look?

These booties are the ones I mean:

The new glamour minigame is great. Are there plans to introduce more mini games that use other game features?

Such as a Perform mini game?

Your original reason for giving Samurai no raid utility was because they were supposed to bring more DPS to make up for it. That's clearly not the case now, as Monk brings utility and does more damage than SAM. And now black mage is way ahead of SAM. Are there any plans to correct this and bring Samurai back to where it's supposed to be or to give them utility to make up for it?

Verity was exchanged to Creation by a vendor, yet the old verity gear is now purchasable by Centurio seals.

Why wasn't there also an option to trade Verity to Centurio to let players choose whether they wanted to work on the next tier or finish up what they were working on?

When is the cap to centurio seals increasing?

Tomestones are 2000. Allied seals are 4000. But centurio seals are only 1000. For people active in the hunting community, this cap is often hit daily.
