Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XVII!

If we want to join Frontlines with Full Party, all party members must be in the same Grand Company. Its almost impossible, when we are from the same Free Company/Linkshell. If we use different parties to enter, it wont guarantee that we join the same instance. Will be any chance in the future to join with a Full Party, but with different GCs to compete with our friends, Linkshell or Free Company?

will the Zantetsuken get an upgraded weapon like the new crafted primals and have a glow too? perhapsblack fire?

materia is a really useful system, except when it comes to raid gear even with the relic weapons required use but could we see a point where we could augment materia in to raid gear? giving more customizations on stats.

Are there thoughts about lowering the cost of the crafting materials from the GC? 2.5k seals is an awful lot for just one piece of potash/coke/animal fat/etc. when practically every recipe needs at least 9 of them. Or alternatively, is it possible to also make them cheap mythology rewards since they originally used to be bought with philosophy anyway?

Will we be seeing a return of Battle Regime or any type of Skill Chain system?

Will we ever see the old classic coerthas from 1.0 return someday?
(Many of us still miss the old wonderful atmosphere old coerthas had.)

When will you implement Sky / Sea content? Maybe even space content?

Why arnt the clouds moving in Mor'dhona ?

Will there ever be another incentive to do the big fate bosses again like Cancer and Lazy Laurence? It's getting harder for newer characters to get the achievement and minion for most of these since older players already have theirs, and don't particularly want to do it again.

Will there be a visor for body piece that have hoods

Will there be a stay command for your companions?

Will there be different types of companions in the future?
Even better will your retainers be able to do dungeons and raids boss battles in the future?

Horses got from winning 100 frontline: The riding animation is funny when going forward, the character is not leaning forward, doesn't feel as awesome as it should be. Any plan on polishing that kinda stuff? XD

I mean look at this:

The Hunts, in many peoples' opinion, have somewhat caused end-game to become moot. You can get unlimited sands and oils and be full i110 (minus a ring) without stepping foot into SCoB. This in turn makes for people who are well-geared but don't know how to play their classes well, so when you do raid it's frustrating to play with people who don't know their class. Are there any plans to adjust the over-powered-ness of the hunts?

Will we at any time see more lore added for any of the races? I'd like to see more depth to the many races that are playable, have some pride to what I've chosen, outside of "because it looks pretty"

Is their any plans for any more pet type job/class? Like puppetmaster (since we already have mammots) or maybe something new?

I was wondering If there is any chance of getting Job specific poses? (Like FFXI had the Job Specific Emotes.. ) and would it be possible to choose the pose your character makes on the "Duty Complete" screen?

I've noticed that when I plug in a usb headset, I'm forced to relaunch the client in order to get sound. Could you add an option into the system configuration that allows us to change between audio types so that we don't have to relaunch?

More Item slots for houses!
Please increase the number of item slots for large houses (inside and out) . As it is, they either look very spartan, or we end up leaving entire sections of the houses empty.

Grand Company Leves and Chocobo Companions

Are there plans to allow us to summon our Chocobos during Grand Company leves?

The chocobos are issued to us through the Grand Company process, it would be nice to gain seals and train chocobos during those levequests.

I quit the game because you guys made it into a grind fest: atma farming, myth farming, materia farming, alexandrite farming, and hunts. There were barely any people doing other things outside of hunts, when I quit the game. There are others that have quit the game because of these reasons. Are you guys going to focus on adding more grinding or actually add enjoyable content to the game?

What are the current/future plans for the gear that Rouges/Ninjas will be able to use? I assume they will share gear with an existing class/job for equipment already in the game but will that always be the case?

Can you share any more details or concept art of the upcoming Sanctum of the Twelve "Eternal Bond" content? What benefits will a bond have for the two players involved?

Will we see other mounts that can be ridden by two players at once?

in 2.4 and beyond, is there a plan to use 1 or more Raid drop item to upgrade gear from vendors? such as Sand of time and Oil of time to increase item level or convert stats?

Is there a plan to let us glamour our past relic upgrade once we reach Zodiac? such as Zenith, Animus, and Novus tier and not starting from scratch.

Is the Relic quest e.x. Zodiac quest the only quest of it kind, or can we look forward to multiple Relic weapon for the same class/job? Such as a Relic PVP quest, or a Dungeon vs Raid Relic weapon quest.

-Will Pld in the future will get the 3rd combo for Riot Blade?
-Will Pld's attack Circle Of Scorn bring enmity in the future? i hope that
-When Atma Drops become more chances of getting it since it is useless
-When Gunner Class will be added since we already have 2 mele's why bring 3rd while the Brd's accessories are only for him and Ninja class will be with Mnk/Drg?
-When T2 clicks will drop to 3-5 Clicks?
-Will Level cap rises to 55? or every class gets a new attack? cause everybody is borred with his attacks and each class needs a new attack/abillity for him
-When Hunts will be locked when the first player founds him for 3 min's
Ex when i find a hunt monster a 3 min's or more will be above him and he will be unpullable until the timing finishes then he will be pullable cause that will help alot.
Sorry for the alot of Questions :).

Any plan to add or adjust abilities affects and duration attacks/casts though quest?

Will there be a class advancement system that build upon class/job quest like degree, dan, and tiers of each class? Such as a 10th Degree Blackmage, shown through personal trails?

I've heard that the Europe servers for Final Fantasy XIV are located in Canada. Can we please have Europe servers moved to central Europe please? I'm tired of having server lag whenever I do dungeons. If the location of the servers is not the issue, please fix whatever is the problem. It's really no fun paying for a game every month and having to suffer deaths during dungeon-runs due to server lag.

-Thank you.

Summoners were going to be revised because of Leviathan and Ramuh summon coming out for summoner:
1) when and how will they be revised, can you give more info about this?
2) Will it ever be possible to "evolve" the egi's to the full appearance of the primals or maybe the same look as the primals but smaller version, high demand for this by a lot of people.

thank you!

is there any chance leve allowances will be increased or removed completely? even if you remove the gil reward for leves from lvl 5 to 45 just to give people more to do through out the week while waiting in que as a damage dealer. 100 isnt a lot and it rebuilds very slowly.

Is it possible to increase the timer slightly for PGL/MNK's Greased Lightning? I find it a challenge to keep the buff up with the current timer. Especially applying DoT's and keeping up in later end game bossing mechanics, such as Second Coil of Bahamut.

Thanks for the consideration! :)

can you implement the sensitivity of the mouse in the PS4?

1- Can we get a One Winged Angel FATE ( Very high level, rare occurrence like Behemoth/Odin ) ?
This would be a great throwback for a ffvii anniversary!

2- As it stands, Tank classes are pretty much always in high-demand using the dungeon finder.. could we receive a new tank class or two with the upcoming expansion? ( Samurai tank maybe? )

3- Though I swear I would buy a game all about Hildebrand and hope his story never ends, could we see the inspector extraordinaire's outfit as a reward in the future? That outfit is snazzy. Possibly with the option to change it from good condition to the torn up condition it always gets in.

what will be the basic ninja Stats
DEX?

Many people heard rumors of getting Skillchain and Magic burst into the game.
How you wanna do that?

MNK's hopeless when they are far away from the target to wait for there attack
Will there be an abbility that they can do damage from a far distance like LNC/DRG have (Piercing Talon)
MNK should then have Chi BLast or something.

The time it takes from the warning (weight of the land) to the damage is cut dramatically based on difficulty. This is where it becomes challenging, especially for disciples of magic and can almost never escape these attacks when mid-cast. The real issue is with the servers being several time zones away and so the lag time of fractions of a second add up and hurt NA players. Keep practicing learn the rotation of the attacks and preemptively dodge them.

Though they have rare mount rewards and the extreme actually drop sought after gear, I feel the level of difficulty for these fights not at all in line with the reward of about 20 mythology/8 soldiery.
The extreme should be closer to 100 mythology/25 soldiery, the hard should be closer to 50 mythology/12 soldiery

Overmelding our crafting gear is a very expensive, yet absolutely necessary process to even be able to attempt higher level recipes. When new crafting gear is introduced, will it be limited to tools and maybe accessories, or will our job-specific sets will also simply go to waste ?
