Will we have a way to filter/sort our FC/LS/Mail list by alphabetical order?

When will there be new classes. I want my dark knight please.please.please

What is the current plan the next step on item level? Will it be far more difficult to obtain then current or at the same pace as we are at right now?

With the trait points being almost being pointless besides stacking into the respective job STR, VIT MIND, INT etc. Is there any plans to add or change the trait point system to give it extra depth to combat, maybe making it a actual skill tree for the trait points it self as you go down the tree.

When is Frontlines going to be released?

Are there any plans to fix the huge lag spikes in dungeon during peak hours?

When will Shiva and Fenrir Egi's be available/added to the game for Summoner?

On the PC version if you have to reinstall the game you have to watch the intro cinematic and can not skip it. Would it be possible to make it possible to skip the intro cinematic?

are there any plans to open up new places like ala mhigo and ishgard for people to explore and will there be any new mounts that can fly sorta like the arhiman mount can? Also are there any plans to add a diabolos, odin, and/or alexander egi for summoners to summon like there was in ffxi? Any idea when u will add blue mage and are you ever planning on adding dancer to this game if so i'd love you very much
when u add new jobs are you planning on adding new starter classes to instead of baseing these new jobs on already existing classes please say yes i really would like it very much

When will Beast Master be added as a Job and Red Mage

Now that it has been around 2 plus months for the elites to finish Extreme Mode, and grind the heck out of it, is there any plans to lower the extreme difficulty of the Titan X fight so that others more mid level players can also complete the extreme modes?

Is there any plans to make Titan X more lag friendly as well as allow (older) people with lesser reflex and memorisation abilities to pass it?

Regards.

Any plans on adding the name changer item in 2.2?

Odins lair can I have it?

Any news in direct x?

Client crashing error 1016 fix any new ?

Any chance of getting the translations of the Letter from the Producer LIVE out before the patch it discusses comes out?

Kinda pointless when you already have the patch notes by the time the translation is made available.

when will the lag STOP!? Please make it stop....please ^^

I want to know what your thoughts are on the future of gear and weapons is? The way they are now it is too linear. In other games you would have gear that would enhance your moves, but would have worse stats, but was the better gear because of the chance to the moves, or would have high elemental resistance so it would be best to slot in for some fights, but now it is. "Does it give me enough accuracy? yes. Okay are its numbers higher than those other same numbers? yes. okay use it."

On weapons there is no fire damage, or drain, or something to make it more interesting than just the better stats, or maybe it looks kind of cool. You do not have fights where you have to learn the enemies weakness and exploit it along with abiding by the mechanics. The game is good, and I love this game that is why I want to see it grow and hold my interests for a very long time.

Thank you for your time.

What are your plans with the economy? What the beastmen stores sell has crashed a lot of the market and made it so that it is a lot harder for crafts to earn gil and say... save up for a a house even if the whole FC is crafting constantly. I know botters are a problem, but there has to be a better way without tanking the economy in such a way that it hurts the people that do not have millions of hours to put into crafting to try and save up for gear they want to buy. The other thing is after you get good gear as a level 50 job there is nothing that can be bought that is even competition for the amazing level 90 gear so crafters and gil tanks in value as time carries on. What do you have in store for the economy?

Many of us still have beastmen currency items left over from 1.0, which were used in the old relic weapon quests. When 2.1's beastmen daily quests came out, I was hoping that we would be able to use these items again in some way; however, there is still no way to obtain them anymore. I assume there will be a use for them at some point, because Sahagin currency is listed on the market boards, yet it was not available in 1.0. What are your plans regarding these items? Will they be used for further upgrading our relic weapons again, or will they play more into the recently introduced beastmen daily quests?

Can you show us transmogrification (allowing stats of one piece of equipment with the appearance of another)?

Will there be any daily quests or fun activities for end game (lv50) Crafters planned in the future? Currently DoW/DoM end game has lots of content, DoL has maps, but DoH has no end game content or activities.

Thank you for the time!

When do you plan to fix the Nvidia issue where the game crashes the Display Driver?

Maybe you should bring that up under technical support section of the forum instead.

Will patch 2.2 include any new crafting recipes for new clothing and weapons?

What DirectX11 features can we expect to see in the Playstation 4 version? :)

When are we getting Thief?

How long will we be segregated from our actual characters? I read before that we will be unable to log in to production servers while on the ps4 client until April?

Will the Bard ninja nerfe from patch 2.1 fixed heavy shot goes down to 130 from 150 the Debuff spells to and Straight shot down to 130 to it was not in the Patchnotes ?

Can we Finally make CT with 24 members FC intern ?

Can we finally upgrade the myth Set to a higher Ilvl set
or will be the Myth set now usless after the Patch 2.2 ?

Gives a join debuff for joining to often Join in Progress via Duty finder it nerfes really extem you wait as DD 2h for 1 Raid and then comes 1 join in progress player and he leaves again because it is not in progress and then you wait again 2h want really they get a debuff from the dungeon time what it takes !!

Can We finally play FFXIV in 3D NVIDEA taked the update for FFXIV away :((

What plans do you have with developed, not yet converted modules such as hamlets and chocobo carawans?

Can I please have....:

1- Combo actions (like FFXI skillchains) between the classes for increased effects and building LB faster...fits the synergy design concept of building LB by playing classes well and having the combined party LB.

2- Expanded materia types and options at high level. Gear with proper def stats but completely open for customization...and in multiple different models. Weapon effect procing materia or defensive heal response procs to receiving damage...So many possibilities with an expanded materia sytem.

3- New LB for Bard...

4- VANITY SLOTS ! ! ! ! ! ! !

In 2.2 will it be possible to have Party Finder possibly get a button in the duty finder or make it more noticeable in some way via quest or mentioning it in the 2.2 patch video?

Its an amazing feature I feel as though didnt get put out there enough in 2.1. I notice on my server people are just now slowly picking up on it, but many still dont know how to fully use it or how it works (like how summoning a companion effects it or changing class after joining a party via the party finder)

Are there any plans to fix tab targeting? The game still cycles through mobs 50 yalms away rather than ones in your attackable range.

Could we possibly see an option for turning off the giant red error text that appear on screen from various issues as well as categories for which ones you turn off?

I dont mind the red error messages for things like being too far away from an NPC or having the wrong class to queue in an instance, but for macros (especially button mashers) it gets a little annoying and distracting, especially during a fight and if theres an option to turn the chat log error messages for battles why not have an option for turning off the text that appears on screen as well? :)

Are there any plans for putting back in the option to pick which quests are tracked and not tracked on your quests list, like in beta?

Could you show us how the vanity system will work in game?

(This may have been asked in the Leviathan section but I'll ask it here in a more general sense lol)
When a new primal is released, will SMNs be able to get that egi in the same patch or will they have to wait until a later patch.

With that being said I remember in an interview it being said that when SMNs get a new egi that it would probably be during a lvl cap raise so other classes will be able to get new stuff too. So could this mean that when new primals are released we could potentially see a level cap too?
(Sorry for both questions being in one posts but because they are so closely related I thought it would be best lol)

Thank you for all your time and dedication and keep up the good work! :D

When will we be able to form our own alliances for Crystal Tower (and perhaps other future content) with friends and/or FC members instead of queuing up as 3 random separate parties in the Duty Finder?

when are you going to rebuild ff14? to 3.0?

Are there any plans to implement a side by side comparison for equipped/non equipped gear so we don't have to keep going back and forth from character window to armory/inventory windows?

Please. Yoshi. No. Penalty if you have to leave dungeon early and you want penalty if you have to withdraw? 106 of you actually want this??!! Insane.

Will Disciple of War classes be further balanced? Dragoons for example are considered so bad that no one wants them in raid/progression groups, which kind of ruins the game for me.
