Ask Your Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE, Part VI!

I'm legacy player. Will be mine accounct choosen for PlayStation 3 beta?
And how can PS3 players get their client? Via PSN Europe (for me) or download link or only throught PSN Japan?

Is there plans for a third tier of job? like marauder > warrior > berserker or something like that?

Will FFXIV: A Realm Reborn be available through the PlayStation Network?

• What is happening to materia?
• Has a card game idea come across your desk that you approve of?
• How is hamlet changing?
• Will people who progressed on the relic weapon quest still be able to use the work they spent finishing it in 2.0?
• How is chocobo raising going to work?
• Will legacy players EVENTUALLY be able to switch servers to a special region based server? If so how long do you anticipate the wait will be before we can?
• What do the Arcanist and Summoner pets look like?
• Are there going to be more jobs other than Arcanist/Summoner available at launch or shortly after?

How much more of the existing continent can we expect to see at launch or in the first few updates?

Yet unseen:

• Xelphatol
• Gyr Abania
• Dravania
• O'ghomoro (U'ghamaro Mines doesn't count)
• Paglth'an
• Radz-at Han

Forgive me if I've missed any.

The new Colonization system in FFXI is a more in-depth variation on FATE. Are there any plans to ugrade FATE to have a noticeable effect on the world in the long run? (Colonized outposts, more items in camp shops, more leves, more convenience NPCs, etc.)

No, if you choose MRD you start in Limsa, if you choose THM you start in Ul'dah, etc. That was stated a long time ago.

How will FATE Notorious monsters be the same and differ from FFXIV 1.23 Notorious monsters?

How are ARR subscriptions going to be purchasable, apart from month-to-month?

Are any forms of micro-transactions planned for player-based content apart from renting additional retainers?

Side note: I am not personally a fan of a 'yes' answer to this, but I ask that you give us a clear answer to quell the heated debates this causes when unanswered.

Since Miqo'te are base of a tribal theme, the Hyur Midlander's dance does have a tribal feeling.. will we able to get that sort of dance?

IMHO, Miqo'te feline dance doesn't seems like a tribal theme at all :P

---

Will it be possible to include more dance animations that all players can use? The /firedance was cool, but it was only temporary during the summer event. :(

Against all odds, this was already asked!
Oh, right. Question.
Will we start to see more unique designs for monsters? A lot of them are ripped from XI and put in HD.

Forgive me if this has been asked alread:

Will we be able to craft in our Inn or private residence? We were told we couldn't because it would create too much noise for neighbors, but I was able to cast Flare without bothering anyone!

Will players who completed class quests in 1.0 be locked out of doing them again in ARR?

Or did those just disappear when Bahamut reshaped Eorzea?

---

Hildibrand's sidekick found the spear and.... well, it's a long story.

Will there be any landmark references to 1.0 events, like the craters Nakiami mentioned?

Will November 11th (the day Dalamud "landed") have its own seasonal event?

Previously, it was mentioned there would possibly be vanity slots for gear to customize your appearance without sacrificing gear stats. Could you tell us if there are still plans to implement this? Also, would it be possible to separate head gear into Eyewear and Hats for vanity slots? I think it might be interesting to wear a monocle with the weaver hat, or an eyepatch with a bandanna or tricorne.

I know Jobs are meant to focus more on certain aspects of the class, but will classes still be viable in the game if you have the job unlocked? I'd like to use all my nice-looking LNC-only gear.

Will there be any quests that ask us to participate in FATE? In 1.xx, the early job quests asked us to slay specific NMs like Downy Dunstan for WHM and Daddy Long-Legs for BLM. Will we see this again?

Will there be an official RP server in A Realm Reborn?

Could you please clarify what summoners will actually be summoning?

Originally we were told that Summoner will not be at launch, but rather will come down the road in a later patch. Now it has been confirmed that Summoner is set for launch.

Will it be possible to have some sort of confirmation on what content will be ready at launch?

I was worried on my token batery, that's why I installed the software token, to see if really was a good option, and now I not like it at all. I payed for my token, and now it's useless, since you can't activate it again. The only good thing of the software token is the rescue password.

I'm going to purchase another token, you planning to add the rescue password for the token users?

Most of us noticed the changes are pleasing the casual gamers, but, can show something that please the hardcore gamers?
We will pay and play more than only after a patch.

Can show something that some players can't beat without effort?

How will FFXIV: ARR PSN Trophies work in conjunction with players who will playing on both PC and PS3 platforms under their FFXIV: ARR account?

Can you tell us more about Samurai being added? What class will they branch off of, since the job has to use the same weapon as a class, or will it be a class itself? How will Samurai play in 14, similar to XI or completely different?

What is the progress on the mobile app to use in conjuction with the game? I remember reading something about accessing the markets and other things from our phones. Could you give us more info on how it will work and the progress you've made on it?

I read that we are going to be able to build our own airships with our companies. Is this 100% confirmed? If so, will they actually be functional? Will we get to fly them ourselves? Is there anymore info you can give us?

Can you discuss some features of the housing system and how you are going to deal with available land?

Okay I have a serious question. Why are we limited in the number of items we can have up for sale at one time? Can we have some way of either obtaining more slots to sell things with or some reason why we don't have unlimited slots?

Also if the reason is because then people would use it as unlimited storage, maybe it should cost a little gil per day or have sales up for certain periods of time.... for example... 300 gil to put up an item for 2 days... 3000 gil to put up an item for 30 days... could have a scale that we select when we sell items.

How will summoner obtain their summons like what we see in the art? Much like FFXI, or is there going to be a more original route?

The dev team have plans to include a option,or various,where the player can really disable in layers the battle effects?

This game have now a new battle system with a lot of explosions,colors,lights etc..and this is a game that will be played a lot of hours like all knows,i think that this option es very necessary.

"Software Token" will support multiple accounts?
I currently need a lot of smartphones because I have many accounts...

What other changes/additions will be made to the macro system?

As the show has now concluded, I will be locking this thread.

Thank you all for the great questions!
