Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XIV! (General)

Why are the hairstyles taking so long to be implemented? And how come there isn't a normal ponytail hairstyle?

Hello, another question

Will we be able to use the door in our mansion to access our balcony?

will the story get more emotional story, music, and character wise to give us those "feels"

Could we get Carbuncle as a pet option for summoner?

Will we be able to purchase personal housing as a group, such as a husband and wife?

Currently, the world feels very small, will we be seeing any new maps or cities soon?

Will you allow Beast Quest allowances to accumulate like leve allowances? I only play once or twice a week and it would help greatly.

:)Hello, how about a voice chat? it is easier to communicate with other players.
:)Also how about chocobos with different colors and abilities, maybe also we could have a chocobo class related, and have chocobo racing, that could be good.
:)Another thing could be items for the different mounts.
:)hm, maybe a bigger map and new jobs as red and blue mage, corsair, thief..
:)hmm, maybe dragoon can have a dragon as ff11 but also use it as a mount, something like chocobo but with cool skills and abilities?
:)Maybe add more summons as fenrir and ramuh or others ^^
well haha too many things sorry, i hope i could help with something, thanks a lot ^^
hope to see ne miquote hairstyles ^^ love them <3

Is a new race, the bunny girl from ff XII, be released someday?

So, when are you giving Monk's a Ki Blast?

Is the game getting open world content in the future?

Will the skills ever be upgraded somehow or give the players the option to upgrade the skills instead of gear? It would give a lot of personalization. (The idea here: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ills-or-traits.)

Will there be more lots for FC housing? In Tonberry, the only lots left for all 3 locations and all wards are L size.

Are there any plans to add the different colored mounts that was mentioned before, For the people who have maxed there beastman tribes reputation.

Can you please add a /dancesync <t> feature?

YouTube videos, photos, and guild events are hard to sync dances with someone else. I would love to click on a person and be able to mimic them!

Please remove the maximum crafting table/NPC/garden restrictions from medium housing?

This is very unfair to guilds who bought housing before 2.2. We can't use all the crafting tables even if we make them, and we can't move to another house if our rare furniture will be destroyed!

Have you ever thought about implementing a Chocobo Aesthetician into the game? Where players can change their chocobos feather colors and give them highlights as well as probably tattoos and cute face paint to match their characters.

will we be getting a new Crystal Tower in 2.3? And what'll be the gear that drops there? Should we expect some Oil of time or Sands of Time or Unidentified Allagan as weekly drops?

Any comand for Know total time played with my character? same as FFXI /time

Hair is great but will their be more beards/piercings/makeup ect to costimize your character even further besides hair styles?

You are welcome.

Look forward the lvl cap raise, more goodies to come! ^^

So it was hinted in 2.2 that there are more primals. Any chance that we will see a Alexander primal coming soon?

Are you going to add more detailed tool tips to stay descriptions? I already know that STR makes me hit stuff harder, I'd like to see a description like "STR 347 = +150 damage or something like that.

Are we going to have updated ways of giving NPCs life to their personalities?
This can be done in different ways or user-changeable options;

• Such as a simple voice clip like a Laugh as the text is displayed (like with Zelda games)
• An option to enable/disable text-crawling sounds to match the NPCs tone and emotions, with alternating text-crawling speed to match stuttering and such.
• More in game voices for the more important NPCs, etc.

Or will it be like Arcanist where one can level a 50 Scholar and the Summoner with no practical experience is also max level?

If they are going to do that then maybe they need to make the new jobs separate... Another words add a beginning class and have their final job class finished... For example... Swordsman ---> Dark Knight... Bandit ----> Thief.... So there always way to get around ppl just being 50 without the experience. Of course this will mean they might need to add a couple npc's for the story quest.. but, should take that long... But, yes before anymore new armors I think I rather see some new jobs introduced...

Will we be seeing any dresses for the Glamour system this patch? I'm really hoping for some kind of Chinese dress!

I really enjoy the in depth crafting system in ffxiv and I am hoping that the cap for the crafted items will continue to raise with the cap of the rest of the gear. will there be end game crafted weapons added in patch 2.3?

thanks for your time

PP

Are you going to change the extra Retainer to a pay once.. or keep them as a monthly charge.. which is kind of lame.

Will minions be able to give effects during world map battles or will they just be something to show off?

Need Mac version.

will you make potions more effective?

will you remove spell interruption,when casting spell while moving?

Not sure if these have been asked before. If they have, my apologies.

Are there any plans to give us more information on our stats page? Currently accuracy caps and such are a guessing game. It would be nice to know what miss % we have against certain mobs/bosses based on our current accuracy rating. Same for parry/block %, determination damage %, skill speed %, crit %, etc.

Are there any plans to fix tab targeting? Currently it seems to "remember" the distance it was searching at last time you were tabbing through enemies so it could very well start off at the furthest enemy even if you have not hit tab for a while. It would be wonderful if it always starts with the one closest to you, resetting the distance it was search at after X time (X seems like it should probably be around 1 second).

1-Melee AOE is weak. bonuses are not shared with party members such as Heavy Thrust flank bonus. Therefore, only casters are used for speed runs, because there is no benefits of having a melee.

2-FC leader can send mass emails to members or ranks.

3-Right click dismiss mount when interacting with an NPC.

4-Vote to give leader power to manage loot.

5-A member cannot be dismissed while boss room is sealed or after drops.

6-Show the top 10-20 FCs General Standing in each server.

7-Adding Running backwards in both movement settings.

8-A target mode where I can go over everything around me(NPC, enemy, players).

9-Vote by Duty Finder parties to run again same or different dungeons after completing Duty.

10-Moving character damage taken by Environment to player's Device and not server. Currently Players visually see that they have avoided an attack yet they still get damaged. This makes the game more dependant on server communication than tactics which is bad.

Crystal Tower Question

Will we be able to form our own alliances for CT on patch 2.3?

Is there any way we might see tokens for gear (or some other method of currency) from original Crystal Tower? I have been running that dungeon constantly and it is discouraging to not have an "end in sight" for obtaining desired gear.

Are you ever going to make FFXIV:ARR more family sim, I would enjoy that.

Will you make it so you can buy gil?

I've been hearing things about being able to get married, where and how would you go about doing that?

will you enable PKing in certain areas? I think that would be fun.
