Your questions for the Letter of the Producer - LIVE

Will there be a option for server-wide chat? so players don't have to wait/gather at a single location to wait for party shout

Are there any plans to retain the Parley game? For example, of varying difficulty for gil bets, playable whenever you want, in the Golden Saucer?

Does Yoshi-P himself play the game as a player? That doesn't count the designing process, testing or any other behind the scenes type play, but just as a normal player for recreation?

There was mention made some time back to allow the signing of items you've crafted, how exactly will that work and how will it be visible to other players? Will there be an emblem on the item or a text note in the description?

Will there be a minimum number of people to create a free company or can everyone create their own single player company if they so wish?

Will there be an account based inventory sharing system allowing you to access items on one character from another character on the same account?

Will it be possible to bring guests into your player housing estate? Will guests be able to do anything in your house? Could guests build things in your house for you if asked to do so?

Will it be possible to bring guests into your free company estate? Will guests be able to do anything in your free company? Could guests build things in your free company for you if asked to do so?

Will personal airships be able to travel freely like chocobos or have set locations they could travel to and from? If they are able to travel freely, will they be limited by things like terrain (eg. unable to land in forests, unable to travel over mountains, etc)?

Are there any plans to have tunnels added to maps, either by default or once they are discovered/explored or even marked by players somehow?

Are there any plans to integrate logging in and out into the game itself, rather than having to completely shut down the game if you wish to log out for a few minutes?

Are there any plans for adding the bestiary (that was suggested by a player on these forums and that Yoshi-P already said he liked in that thread)?

Will the use of abilities in gathering be less random when that discipline is overhauled for 2.0 to use a point based system? And what sort of points will it use (TP, MP, something completely different)?

Are there any plans to increase (or even completely remove) the current 4 slot restriction on trades?

Will both craftsmanship and magic craftsmanship both exist in 2.0? If so, will their use be more clearly defined?

I'm aware that we'll be able to keep our chocobos in our stables but will there be any such place to store other mounts like goobbues or magitek? Would they go in the stable too or simply not exist while we aren't on them?

Are there any plans for the barding we've already purchased to gain some sort of stats or other benefits once our chocobos can join us in battle?

Are there any planned advantages or disadvantages associated with crafting at home, such as a workspace with increased stats, or no synthesis allowed like our current inn rooms?

Will free companies have any way to track individual performance of its members, especially in terms of donations, work done for the free company, etc?

Are there any plans to bring microtransactions to FFXIV? Extra retainers and other benefits for those better off financially in the real world, or will all things be equal between the members of Eorzea?

When crafting, will my skirts and long shirts/tunics/what-have-you still cut at an angle through my thigh, as though my knee were further over than it is?

Can you give any more details about the planned app for tablets and smart phones to access in game functions with 2.0?

Will there be another poll before 2.0 goes live that will focus on 2.0 content (as released in the beta and any other news between now and then)? This last poll was a disappointment...

While camping monsters will no longer be the most efficient manner in which to level up, will it still be the most efficient means to gather materials (such as hides, horns, teeth,wool,etc)?

Will we get more race based content (that will teach us about where the races came from, what they believe in, what they like/love/hate/fear,etc)? I do not mean content that locks you out if you aren't of that race but rather things that anyone can do.

Will we have to keep checking both the lodestone and the new 2.0 site to keep up to date, or will both sites be consolidated into one site, or maybe even bring all FFXIV news into the client itself?

Will there be a PC/Mac/Linux/etc version of the Android app?

What are the minimum and maximum expected possible lengths of alpha/beta stages before 2.0 release? Could it all be over in weeks or years?

Will there be any reward or other post 2.0 benefit for participating in the alpha/beta testing (other than helping to shape the game)?

Will legacy members who create new characters after 2.0 launch get the special chocobo on their new level 1 characters, or is it only for pre-existing characters, or for characters who then gain a certain level?

Legacy players can have their name in the credits but is that their real name or the name of a chosen character?

Are there any plans to add jobs for non combat classes?

Are there any plans to add other non combat classes?

Are there any plans to remove any classes or consolidate existing classes (such as ARM and BSM that even overlap in quests, let alone their many common synths)?

Will luck still be such a driving force in most end game content in 2.0?

We've heard a lot of things that Yoshi-P wants to bring into this game from other games (both other FF titles and foreign titles like WoW), but is there anything major he's against bringing in?

Are there any plans yet for the first post 2.0 expansion pack? What sort of things may it entail?

Are there any plans for merchandise centring around the Dalamud storyline as collectible items?

As some people wish to keep dated items for their unique colours and models, are there any plans to reintroduce those colours and models in modern gear?

Will there be an option to change the UI color theme? for example, target cursors in ARR Alpha footage was orange/yellow will we be able to change the color to blue or green for example.
