Your questions for the Letter from the Producer LIVE

Will Arcanist be a selectable Class at character creation at launch? If we already have a character being transferred can we choose it to start with after altering our character creation options?

For Add-On Development are we still looking at exclusive use of Action Script or has the usable languages been expanded?

Dear Yoshi-p, will you please consider this request from a Final Fantasy VII-VIII fan to implementing more iconic weapons in the future like Omega, Ruby, and Emerald Weapon?

Good question considering the magitek armor and everything. This could be slotted somewhere there as an Emperial weapon.

Is there going to be anyway for PS3 & PC players to use voice chat together other than a PS3 user loading a voice client on a secondary PC? Will PS3 have push-to-talk capabilities?

Any new info on the "Forts" mentioned previously for solo loot acquisition and how those acquisitions will be comparable to dungeon party loot?

Are Legacy Chocobos going to be breedable? Are they default gender-locked? Are the Chocobos characters named in Pre-2.0 carrying over also? Breedable also? Gender-locked (since we named them without a specific gender)?

Regarding the DoL mini treasure hunt game: Will there be any chance of finding Rare/Ex DoL gear in those chests? Or even possibly crafting materials like the NPC only items you buy at hamlets?

Any possibilities of Linkshell or Free Company Leaders to promote an Officer to the Leadership position without having to call a GM?

For example where the Leader will be absent for a prolonged amount of time.
The absence of this option has been crippling in FFXI and Pre-2.0 FFXIV

Why not some personal questions for Yoshi-P?

To Yoshi-P, how many rings do you own? And what's your vision like?

Can you make it where you gain muscle mass or toning by progress in game by fighting monster with via weapons shield's etc instead of in character creation tool bring more depth to watch you character change as you progress?

Have there been any plans for hiring Reinheart directly into the Community Reps for his exhaustive work on the Forums? :p

Legacy members are supposed to be able to get their name in the credits of ARR but we haven't heard anything about this in a long time. Can we get an update on this ?

Is it possible to add voices to the most powerful monsters in Eorzea? (ex. Bahamut saying we can't win or that we are just ants to him through the fight/or right before a big attack)

338 questions and only 20-30 will be answered maybe someone can answer most of these -->?'s

Will you implement a team based battle system similar to skillchains/magic bursts/stun orders as FFXI had? Will there be open world HNM/NM with HQ drops and/including competition to fight the monster itself?

Will there be wildlife (critters) in the world? Such as birds flying, butterflies, etc.


I haven't noticed any such things in the videos as of yet, but always enjoyed the small details in FFXI.

is there a general idea of when ARR will open? i'm not asking for an exact date, but an idea of when we can look forward to playing it would be nice

Is the design goal for the jobs to be interchangable in PvE (ex: Tanks being PLD and WAR, DPS being BLM DRG MNK, Healer being WHM and some new job)?

When FFXIV:ARR launches will we keep our current lvls. or will we have to creat a new character and start over?

Will there be less, obvious 'false uniqueness' story content; ie: AF quests with their 'one and only Dragoon' and hordes in the same gear?

When will the beta test begin for the Sony Playstation 3? and how can I be one of the people chosen for the beta?

How much dynamic will be the new battle dynamics? There will be much more encounter (with object to evade like Ifrit eruption) ?

If we start out with a small property in housing, can we eventually be able to expand to the largest property without having to start over?

What will be done to ameliorate my OCD in regards heretofore unobtainable achievements?

My question is this, Will there be or plans to implant a NPC that we can have our hair style and color changed after character creation?

This has already been answered and the answer is yes.

Ontopic: Can you change the graphic of the Scarf of Wondrous Wit? Seeing as it currently is a bandana, I would rather the Scarf be three yalms long, red, fluffy and wraps around the neck two or three times with one end long enough that it touches the ground trailing the adventurer.

Like this but red.

I'll take yes, or yes, for an answer. Thanks Yoshi-P, I knew you would understand! You're the best!

Yes, although half the questions asked in this thread are either a) stupid or b) have been asked a million times and have a milllion answers already. Hopefully they'll decide to avoid those questions.

im mostly concerned with

how stats will change
how ability's are gonna change (will mages get more abilities as said before)
changes to the relic quest
would like to see some short vids or screenshots of new content including but not limited to crystal tower.
better clarification of loot distribution and tokens(there is a lot of speculation about this topic so id like yoshi to go into more detail on it)

there's prob some other things but i cant remember...

Will new classes and jobs have existing Primal equipment added for totem exhange such as Garuda Book for Arcanist/Summoner

Will you consider "removing your Main hand weapon turns u into a PUG/MNK" i'd really want to kill monsters with my bare fists !! ?

Will you be having advanced jobs? EX: Thaumaturge / Black Mage / Black Wizard?

Actually I expect the vague questions to win lol... people don't realize that if u ask vague questions u get vague answers (especially when a vague question has to be localized)

Will ARR be able to keep the storyline dynamic and progressively epic since the "end of the world" and yet still tempered for those just starting their journey in ARR?

Will there be better linkshell/free company management options? What kinds of features can we expect to see that we don't right now? (Kick from linkshell option even with the person offline.)

speaking of free company's^^

will FC's have a bank,
can members donate items/gil to the bank
will members get some sort of points for donating to the bank(like faction credit or a guild appointed reward system)
will free company housing be open world or instanced
will free company's have member lvl like grand company's example recruit, enlisted...
what sort of content is planned exclusively for free company's.

Will the point allotment still be present in ARR? If yes, with the changes to the battle system, will we be able to reassign them?

No I know what you mean, I meant questions like:

"Will we be able to recreate our current characters at the start of ARR?"

I think I've seen the answer to that question at least 20 times. This was just one example, but those are the questions I hope they don't take because they want to avoid giving out too much info about 2.0 or whatever they decide to say. I agree with you about the vague questions, but the question I quoted was not vague at all, it has a clear yes or no answer, and the answer has been yes multiple times.

Asking for a friend - In A Realm Reborn the UI has a hostile enemy list. Will it be possible to target enemies by clicking their names in this list? And if not, would it be possible to implement this feature?
