Your questions for the Letter of the Producer - LIVE

Will rested experience apply to non grinding forms of levelling, if grinding will no longer be the most efficient way? For example, would it improve quest rewards?

Will our current journal limits increase in 2.0 allowing for more than 8 crafting leves, 8 gathering/battle leves (in the same count) and 16 quests? If quests will be our biggest way to level up, won't the ability to do many quests at once be the best way to utilise that?

Will there be a collectors edition for A Realm Reborn that i can preorder?

Are there any plans for how the reduction of general grinding will decrease the amount of mats likely to be available for crafting and subsequent equipment? Any precautions against the market drying up in certain fields?

How do you plan to combat power creep and its negative effect on previous updates in ARR? Will great rewards continue to be obsolete a few months down the line in a game that is slated to last at least a decade (if all goes well)?

Will glasses still be an easily obtained, wearable style item?

Will Free Companies have their own leve counter where DoH/DoL engage and complete for the benefit of the free company?

Will we be able to see more in game GM's and responses to STF reports as RMT issues arise in game? Will the ability to report a character in game to the STF also be added?

Will more audio cues be added in game (such as when someone says your name or when a ! pops up in your menu, etc)? Will we be able to use our own audio cues such as whistling/calling/etc to get another player's attention?

Will the Blacklist ever remove people from our entire gameplay experience, including our field of vision, rather than just block their messages?

Q#1 Will my chocobo help me gather(put his beak to use), or just fight?

Will there be alternate ways to complete any quests, such as using combat or crafting or gathering or gil or a card game as we prefer in that situation? Not all quests but at least some?

Q#2 Will Yoshi-P make an in-game appearance(with his own character) and take a screenshot with me(GM/ GOD gear,without headgear)? :)

What would you do, for a klondike bar?

Will the "Monster book" or Bestiary be ready for the 2.0 launch? Any news you can give us on how it will work?

Will Hildebrand make a comeback??

Please please?

Question:

Will the special visual features of characters surviving the 7th Umbral Era be available even if we change our character's appearance/race/gender?

Question:

When can we expect to have a list posted of gear that will not be obtainable in ARR?

Can we have the ARR character creator in advance of the game's relaunch (just for Legacy members or pre-order bonus perhaps)?

Is a first-party video capture feature planned to be built into ARR and if not, would you consider it?

Can you please release a gameplay trailer showing off chocobo raising, and chocobos in combat?

If we choose to alter the race/appearance of our characters after 2.0, will we still get to keep the special tattoo/engraving/whatever that we get for playing 1.0?

Is it possible to change the battle BGM to a folder of songs (MP3's) located on the users system.

Will you be able to ALT-TAB out of a full screen game in FFXIV:ARR, or be able to run the game in a full-screen windowed mode? Or maybe allowing the use of ALT-Enter to switch between full screen and windowed mode?

Will players be able to change their names when we re-configure our characters' appearances? It stands to reason that if we can change genders, we should be able to change names to be gender-appropriate.

Also, without giving anything away with the story, how will pre-battle cutscenes be handled? Will they play automatically when we enter the battle, or will we be able to watch them before initiating the mission? FFXI did both, eventually using the latter most because it gives players a fair chance to watch the scene without feeling rushed by the instance's time limit or the impatience of the party.

will we ever see the return of class's like thief. blue mage.dancer beast master etc?

and will we ever see the whip and tonfa&nunchuck weapons for class's/jobs?

Will we be able to reallocate our point allotment more freely in A Realm Reborn?

Will there be any Magitek items available with 2.0 like weapons, armor, mounts, etc.

Since the wyvern from FFXI's style dragoon didn't carry over into this version, could it please be an option for an always out pet for future implementation of beastmaster?

Any more roles for Moogles in ARR?

i.e. summon, companion, pet, housekeeper, playable race, etc?

Will mages have use for TP, or non-mages have use for MP (apart from monk of course)?

We've heard mention of a cathedral for players to hold wedding ceremonies, but is this intended purely for player driven role play/players to make up themselves or will there be an official wedding service provided by the game?

Is there any chance of increasing the rate at which new classes are released? There is a multitude of weapon types that could be incorporated into new classes and jobs that still fit the bill as a Final Fantasy weapon.

What's up with the lack of character animation (inertia) from the Gamescom footage?

Will there be a "buy back" option when selling items off to an NPC merchant?

If "manequins" or "gear sets" are going to be the new inventory slots for our gear...would we be able to use the same piece of gear (lets say a hat) with multiple manequins or gear sets? This way I can have a dps whm gearset, and be able to use the same hat that is in my main blm gear set.

Will we be able to configure the game video settings without exiting out of the game entirely?

E.G. Resolution, Window/Fullscreen, Graphics settings, etc.

Are there any plans on re-designing the lodestone site to incorporate more aspects of social website designs rather than a re-iteration of official news feed?

Will watching cutscenes still countdown into time limits of dungeons or instances?

My question is for Yoshi P.

When will you finally be able to take a vacation and relax?

A translation of an interview stated that Arcanist will have Carbuncle but Summoner will not be able to use Carbuncle, is this the only occurence of Summoner losing out on Pets in favor of Arcanist?
