Your questions for the Letter from the Producer LIVE

Any plans to have a (crafted) personal or shared ship to explore the sea and find lost islands in the future?

There will be open world dungeons in ARR too?

Will Square Enix be extending its services officially to more countries in 2.0/future?

The following countries (mostly in South-East Asia) aren't supported at the moment: Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and a few others. Brunei Darussalam is a South-East Asian country and it appears under the supported countries listed under "Europe and the Middle East".

Yeah, why the hell is it on remembrance Sunday @ 10 am, have they never heard of 11/11 11:00 ??

Will there be any dungeon equivalent content for non combatants such as gatherers and crafters?

Will there be any puzzle dungeons?

Will there be any dungeons that change each time you go in them? Places that you can explore from scratch again and again?

Is group crafting still a possibility for the future?

I know that chocobos will be able to fight but will they be able to help with gathering too? Could they dig or forage for items?

Can you share any more information about the treasure hunting mini-game previously mentioned for gatherers?

Are there any plans to introduce micro-transactions to FFXIV? I'm sure there's plenty of people out there with more cents than sense but it might also dampen the RMT enthusiasm for the game a little...

Will there be something like a menders' row and a buying row for people to request such services and items with searchable features? Current menders' row failed because the search couldn't list the items to be mended and people just put retainers in whatever aisle they would fit.

You previously stated all key items will be removed. What will happen to the 25k seals item that was supposed to start the relic quest if we bought the item but didn't yet start the quest? Will we get our seals back or will it be replaced with a non key item version of the item?

Can you go into more detail regarding what other facilities will be available in housing, aside from the chocobo stable and garden and airship dock that we already know about?

Will the summoner job be able to summon permanent pets or will they just be designed in a way like a special magic "one-hit" attack?

Are there any plans to release Final Fantasy XIV on Wii U ?

How long is each testing phase ?

Can we expect to find some very secret things exploring here and there?
(a nice example that comes to my mind is when in FF6 i found Gogo underground after being engulfed by the Sandworm. One of the biggest secret/surprise ever)

Can you explain how the new weather system will work (video would be sweet) and which elements about it will reflect on the gameplay in ARR?

Hello Yoshi,
What is the first game that you've ever played and how old were you back then?

Will we have moomba creatures in the game?

---

This would be nice.

Please, no.

When will the crafting guide portion of the website be renovated and updated to reflect the respective changes that have been and will be made to each Disciple of the Hand?

Will we have a chance at meeting in-game with the 5 heroes we see in the intro just like Aldo in FFXI? (the roegadyn PLD,BRD Miqo'te,Hyur WAR,WHM Lalafell and the Elezen BLM) :)

will yoshi have someone sort through all the pointless questions to get to the good ones or will he actually read them all

In ARR, will you be able to cast a melee ability while moving, or will there still be a delay for the combat animation and you cannot move until the animation is over? (Instant abilities shouldn't render the caster immobile).

Will you implement a more user-friendly party search tool?

You said a while ago about each class having more then one job can you talk more about that or is that no longer going to happen?

In ARR will in-game marriages be like it was in XI where you had to put in an application and /pray for a slot sometime in the next 15 years or will a different and hopefully better management system be in play?

Will we see colored belts(white, purple, brown, black) make a return for our Monks?

can you give us more detail on free companies and linkshells?


also can you play with a controller with keyboard set up (like move with controller then switch to keyboard when you need to)? I did this in 1.0 and help me a lot i'm not to keep on movement in wasd.

I would just like to reiterate this question. I'm very curious about plans for Beastmaster.

Will there be a perpetuation cost for Carbuncle for Arcanists?

Are continuation of the class quests beyond level 36 going to be implemented at launch?

will the action to open a window like your stats, inventory will be faster in 2.0?

how is the acquisition and drop-rates of Miser's Mythril and Alumina Salts being adjusted?

Considering the alterations to the Disciples of Hand, if a player has the appropriate classes leveled will 4-stepping Hamlet still be possible?

Are the participation timer's being altered from 15 minutes to a longer duration? We already know there are new looting rights timers, just wondering about direct entry to help other people.

what about trading with other people, will it have more space to trade items and will it be faster? then what is now?

Will free company alliances be allowable for free companies of different Grand Companies or only same GC?
