Are we getting higher level materia like ever?

Can we get fc vs fc pvp?

Can we repair meld decipher treasure maps while being mounted

Can my party see my tp please??? Please add a tp bar

After being wiped in a raid can my skills be reset please

Can we get higher levels for our free company? I am in a big free company would it be possible to add more then two free comp actions with higher fc levels?

Can we get a bigger friend list and a friend list chat?

Can we have our chocobo and minion out at the same time?

Can we block irl guys from making female characters???

Can we have an option to turn the lights on/off in our private rooms/FC houses?

Announcement Feature Improvement

Would it be possible to improve the announcement feature of seasonal events or game announcements in the form of a ribbon displaying with an alert sound (to look at it) or something like that? It'll be a handy reminder for players who miss the information from the chat box. :D

When we'll be able to swim and go underwater finally? In 4.0 maybe?

Once it has been said devs would have added more 'life' around in the areas (more 'normal' fauna), like jumping frogs and crickets, butterflies, etc. but it seems we still have right only some fishes in the water and some birds in the sky so far.
And so natural random events like falling stars in the night, tornados and so on.

There is a possibility to have much more of this in the 3.0 and beyond? Maybe with directx11?

Are there any plans to make a build focussed around the Parry stat more viable? Right now it seems like there is no secondary stat unique for tanks to try to upgrade, and all jobs just sort of focus on DET/crit rate.

Roulette

The current roulette system we have is kinda like a daily quest. But instead of that i would like to use them more for gearing, making gil etc. Are there any plans for roulette system, specially for low level roulette.

Chocobo Companions Attack, Defend and Heal. However, will there be abilities integrated in our companions to use with DoL; for example, a Chocobo helps digging increasing the gathering rate/perception/yield?

When do you plan to remove the PvP rank requirement for item level 100 and 110 PvP weapons, armor and accessories?

When writing storylines for ffxiv. What is the intended role for the player character: an extension of the player's interactions, or a stand in for SE's predetermined character?

Is there any plan to make a glamour book or crafting database style ui for glamour?

* When can we expect Au Ra naming conventions to be released?

*Are we getting any Othard lore before 3.0 is released?

*Will FC airships function like FC housing? Will we be able to buy crew quarters?

Could we get a "/hood" emote similar to the current visor emote? I want to wear the hood of my Crimson Vest or Foestriker's Tabard over my head!

Can we have less long robes please?

Can there be more short robes or bilauds as end game gear equipment?

SUBJECT: Eat while sitting

Can you allow the consumption of food while sitting down?

Duty finder

are there any plans to make matchmaking work better for dps it is agony waiting for a queue id even settle for bot tanks at this stage

With Golden Saucer being around for a while by Heavensward can you give us an idea of future content for it? Perhaps more card game options like Poker or Chronobind could be implemented?

This is more lore related but my friend mentioned if you don't finish the Culinary main quest before a certain point in the game it makes no sense in the timeline of the game. So my question is how exactly does the time line function? or will there be special implementation for people who do that quest under this condition

Can we name our airships?

Personalize the Main Screen before Character Selection

I think it would be really nice if the opening screen somehow incorporated our last-played character into the crystal's mist. We're already signed in, and there's such a strong connection with our personal Warrior of Light.

You recently mentioned that you would release the cut scenes for the Binding Coil of Bahamut for those who are unable to complete the content. Do you have an ETA on this?

I'm sure lots of people have already mentioned about allowing eternal bond partners share houses, but I was wondering if it was likely to be possible to create a list much like a friend list similar to the way FC functions work for your personal house, thus allowing an owner of a house to give permissions to place/move or use furniture and items within another persons house as long as they are in the categories with the correct permissions. One of the reasons I ask is that I own a medium house and have lost any enthusiasm for gardening and my 2 deluxe patches have sat there for months without being used, It would be nice to allow someone else who is interested in using them to make use of the gardening patches.

In short, are we likely to be able to allow others permission to do things with our private houses similar to FC members can with a FC house?

Have you ever considered adding other primal minions alongside Odin? I'd especially love a wind-up Ramuh!

I'd also like sets of clothing inspired by the primals (e.g for Garuda the clothing could maybe have wings, covered in feathers, for Ifrit the gear could have a flame effect, shiva's could be blue and glisten like ice) These would look great for those of us who like to use or glamour existing primal weapons & accessories.

SUBJECT: Wet skin during rain

This is a really silly suggestion, but I want to mention that there's an effect during Ramuh Ex that makes everyone's skin shiny and wet-looking. Can this effect be applied during rainy weather? Perhaps make the effect a bit less intense, but I know it can be done. I also suggest the same effect for the Leviathan trial for obvious reasons.

Final Fantasy XI: Online - Collaborations.


Do you have any plans down the track to add more FFXI style Glamors or Equipment similar to the Wootz Sets added a few patches ago?

Do you have any plans of increasing the cap of weekly poetics?
450 seems very low when farming the Final Coil of Bahamut.
I have 5 weapon tokens and 3 carboncoats sitting on my inventory and i have nothing to upgrade at all since I don't have enough poetics to buy anything...
and I have been collecting poetics weekly ever since they were introduced...

I think a weekly limit of 1000 poetics would be very reasonable at this point.

Will you remove the level sync on abilities? Since its a pain to help out low level players when we ourselves feel weak and it takes about 30-40mins to do one low level dungeon when we can do expert dungeons in just about 20mins.

Is there any plan to add a "Primal Focus II" quest where we can get something by beating the other 3 extreme primals weekly? (Shiva, Ramuh and Leviathan)

It would be interesting if the quest reward was (at least) 3 Rowena Tokens of Poetics.
It would be a way to get the ironworks weapons a bit faster, since right now it takes around a month to get one weapon even after you have the other items required (Encrypted Tomestone, Carbontwine)

Also, it would help the people who still need to clear these fights and cannot find a party that is interested in doing these fights since their rewards are obsolete.

Solo Play

I was wondering what Kind of solo features will be available in Final Fantasy XIV: ARR in the future? I'm a huge fan of the game, but sometimes I like to do alot of solo missions but I would like to see more content. Will there be any plans for solo: Dungeons, Primals and perhaps a specific solo challenge mode?

Jobs like: Red Mage, Blue Mage which arent specific enough for parties could be a solo only job... Just for thought!

Will there be level cap quests in heavensward to increase level past 50 and 55 like in ffxi?

Are there any plans to add any type of garden to Private chambers?

If not would you consider the idea of having a potential furniture that could house 2 plants at a time allowing for crossbreeding but at the same time offering the limiting factors of "only the person who owns the private chambers can tend to it" "Can only have one of x item in the private chamber"

I don't think this would destroy the garden economy it would just offer players with private chambers an opportunity to produce their own goods granted limited to only 2 spots compared to the 8-16-24 for housing itself.
