Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXIII!

Classes and Jobs

Will Gridania ever get a tank Job, Ul'dah a healer Job or Limsa Lominsa a ranged DD class/Job?

Hairstyles

Will you ever unlock male hairstyles for female use?

Classes and Jobs

Will you ever make it so gatherer and crafter stats count for more than just paltry bonuses and node/recipe unlocks?

Can Dark Knight please get back the AoE heal from Dark arts + Abyssal drain? its a godsend when the healer isnt up to par and a pull goes wrong. especially when your defensive cooldowns are still on cooldown.

please consider this it was a great utility for when pulls go wrong or for large pulls.

Will you please consider easing up the raid life a bit and make the new potions ( Draconian potions ) a 3 per 1 craft like the old x-potions? This will make my day! Else great launch + early access.

When will we see SMN pet glamour and will egi version of Ramuh, Leviathan, and Shive be included in this?

Is the 'Housing Designer "Preview" feature' still in development? What is the progress on it?

Hello,
A while ago, I recall reading about plans to implement a "Preview" feature for housing furniture. I believe this feature would help us with the interior/exterior designing of our houses. We could set and visually preview any piece of furniture in a housing space, save it as a list and then obtain it.

Thank you.

Will we begin seeing more character of mixed-race, such as Hilda? For example Lala'qote or Au Ra/Hyur. If so, will we have options in the future to make Mixed Race Characters?

Are you programming to change or maybe BOOST AST'S collective unconscious ACTION? Right now it's not usable. It makes feel the job have 1 less skill in his tree.

Limit Break 3
Right now Limit Break 3 is for melee only and casters will never see there new limit break animation. Can we get player character limit break instead of a party limit break. I would like skills like Teraflare and Meteor to ba added to the player characters job abilities.

Hello,

I'm a player from the Sargatanas server and since the launch of personal free company houses all of the houses are bought in Eorzea. New or returning Free companies don't have the option to buy a house as their are none left to buy. Do you guys have any plans on adding more instances or new ways to acquire a free company house? If so would you mind telling us some details?

Thanks and Regards,

Udyr~

In regard to flying:

Would it be possible for the mount to angle to one side as we turn? It would make flying feel more dynamic.

Crafting and Gathering

You introduced the option to downgrade materials from high quality to normal quality. Could you add an option to do the opposite, to convert a number of normal quality materials into a single high quality material?

When are we going to see the huge lag spikes at peak times in the game resolved. This is becoming a huge issue for many in the game. The game is unplayable when this happens.

Why do you keep on giving us abilities we can't use in most content where it would actually matter?

You have given MCN (and other jobs) access to:

-Stun
-Silence
-Knock-back
-Heavy
-Bind

All of which are useless against almost every boss in the game. Even a lot of the trash we fight is immune to some of these.

When have we ever planned out, used strategy on, and applied debuffs to trash mobs? Aside from how best to skip them...

If you meant them for PVP, why did you not just add them as PVP abilities instead of wasting our slots on abilities we can't use in any meaningful PVE content?

Some jobs claim "versatility and utility," when in reality they are simply wasted and useless abilities taking up space on my hotbar.

A few classes seem to lack a certain balance to them, namely BRD, MCH, and DRK. Will we see these tweaked and changed soon?

How many patches (3.1, 3.2, 3.3, etc.) can we expect and will they be released at the same rate of the 2.x series?

What kind of 24-main raid are we gonna get?! :D

Hi, are you thinking about adding the options of buying/renting retainers with in-game gil?
Thank you

Can we please have a dps tool that "ONLY" displays our dps to ourselves so that we can know how we are performing (PS4 Player here). This way there is still no harassment but at least those of us without a computer version of the game can see how well we are doing for our own knowledge. All this info is in our battle log any way but it is so hard to do the calc's in a timely manner for ourselves. Thank you so much for considering this.

Can we have a system where we can move around things from one retainer to other retainers' inventories instead of calling each one of them and repeating the deposit/withdraw item via our own inventory process? It's tedious to organize the inventories.

Are their any plans for Ishgard area housing?

Can you please add an Aetheryte at the goblin encampment in the Hinterlands? Rushing to get an A rank is impossible when you have two loading screens.

Are we gonna get increased armoury chest sizes? :O Before the 3 new jobs my armoury chest was rather full to begin with. Can we please see an increase of at least one bar (5 slots)?

Will the A/S rank hunts for HW zones get an HP boost like the ARR A/S rank hunts did? Currently, a lot of people on my server (Brynhildr) don't wait too long and unless you got the relay IMMEDIATELY, there's no way you're gonna make it to the hunt in time before it's zerged down in 5 seconds :(

Could we one day see Blue Mage as a playable job?

Even if it is a massive gil sink, just to increase the size of the house. Give us something the Free Company can spend months working on!

when you bought a house. Small or medium maybe even large. Is it not more fun to extend the ground and the house with Workshop System? I know that will take allot of redoing things in the programing and other things aswell but if they can pull it off then I think it would be loved by many :D

There is currently no way to save/load a HUD design onto multiple characters. Each new character has to have their UI recreated manually which is very time consuming. Could we please see a feature added to load previously saved HUD layouts to new characters? Keep up the amazing work and thank you for an incredible game!

Have you ever thought of implementing a glamour log? It would save our glamours after completing the spirit bound with said gear registering it in the log and then if you want to have that glamour again just go into the log with the appropriate glamour prism and set the glamour to the appropriate gear. It would save tons of space in our Inventory/Armory chest/Retainer.

Can/does Rowena teleport?

Any update on when we will see the summoner's summon glamour system so we can update our pets? Any thoughts to updating the icon on the hot bar to an image of the summon rather then just Ifrit, and carbys? :)

Thanks,

Summoner
I love how the Summoner got turned into an Evoker where we are channeling an Elder Primal. Are more abilities going to be added to Dreadwrym Trance and will we get Tances for other Primals.

Primlas are merely Conjured rather than Summoned lorewise it would've made sense for Summoner to be able to conjure up Ifrit, Titan and Garuda from the beginning because its a low level summoning spell and the Primals are just shades wearing the original entities skin.

Can Summoner get the ability to Summon Real Gods like Hydaelyn or create actual deities for Summoner to summon.

You mentioned there will be no new Egi's for HW. If you do decide to go with the Egi glamour system that was mentioned will It be summoner only or will scholars be able to glamour the fairies/ recolor the fairies to suit their tastes?

Can we get the Moogle Throne from Churning mists as a housing item? (Even if it only supports a Stuffed Moogle). I have a great terrible need to have this in my estate.

Heya! ^^

Thank for such a great game, happy to have renewed my contract with you Yoshi-san! Keep up the good work!

I was wondering if, beyond the grand company recruitment, if we'll ever be able to recruit our own mercenary team, to do 4-man stuff? Would be nice from crafting an airship for people who owns a house but the friends in FC are not able to play.. and to clear some dungeons, with their own A.I.

I don't mind using other means, but it would be a nice gil sink for you guys, if every time you need them, you need to pay up to a point where clearing the dungeons would give you pretty much nothing in terms of gil and xp, since it's shared with them? And the more we use the same mercenaries, they would level up with us and will have their loyalty up as well!

To recruit them, some might have specific quests to get it done, or items to be crafted for, etc..


Thank you for your time.

Will you be updating the class Hunt logs for level 50-60 mobs?

Will you be updating the Challenge logs to grant xp for those of us using it for 50-60?

Was wondering if Khal Myhk (Gullinkambi's youngest son) could become a companion like our chocobo. He mentions wanting to see the world several times and asks other (spoiler) things. Even if he was a minion like Midsgromir. Can that be looked into. While I love my Chocobo, a baby dragon would be just as cool.

Will the Custom-Made armor/gear (From the level 5 class quests) ever be in the calamity salvager? as there is no other way to get them if you have thrown them away.

Are there plans to add new housing locations or adding more plots to the existing areas since so none seem to be available and a lot of new content is locked behind having fc housing?

Thanks you! HW is amazing.

I doubt this will get any attention but... Will we ever see the ff xiii event again for those who missed it? Or will the items at least be made available via cash shop or otherwise ?

Will there be any more progression for Grand Company Ranks?

Are there any plans to add new storage items on our characters or in our houses?

Ideas my FC and I have discussed:

- Craftable or obtainable tackle box as an off-hand for fisher where they can keep their tackle outside of their inventory.
- Fridge / cabnet where Culinarian can store a large majority of their ingredients
- Toolbox for classes like Armorsmith, Blacksmith, and Goldsmith where we can store ores and metals.

(Items would be set to sharable throughout the FC or personal depending whether placed in personal or FC houses/rooms)

Despite paying retainer services of varying amounts, crafters are having a very hard time balancing inventory space between materials and in-game items.

Are there any plans to allow mansion owners to access their balcony?

Additionally,

Are there any plans to increase item allowances within housing and yards?

Is there a chance we might have a 1-on-1 PVP sometime (or duel, whatever you like to call it) in the future, and if so, what kind of features would you implement to keep it from being boring fast and where should we have it?
