During the epic final battle with Nidhogg, one stage of the fight had him transform into a half-man, half-dragon fusion between himself and Estinien, unleashing super-powered Dragoon Attacks on players. Was there any particular inspiration behind this fusion? It really reminded me of the old PSX game, "Legend of Dragoon". Do you think we'll see the concept of a Human-Dragon fusion revisited at any point in the future?

Although the MSQ was a lot shorter than I am used to, I must admit I like the tighter focus of the narrative (without the occasional fetch quest, etc.).

Can we expect to see more of this in future patches and expansions?

What made you decide to release the anima weapon story in 3.3 rather than 3.35?

Would you consider making a Savage version of Weeping City of Mhach if you wanted to? I'm asking mostly because of Ozma.

Some people are concerned that the Astrope mount added this patch would take years to obtain (2000 mentor roulettes), which may draw the wrong mentor crowd, dissuade actual mentors, or cause frustrations from getting repeated EX trails. Do you feel like the amount of roulettes required is appropriate? If not, do you have any changes in mind, such as maybe making it 2000 roulette minutes instead of clears, with maybe some time bonuses on clears and commendations while mentoring?

For the Relic weapon why did you only make it possible to get Umbrite via Esoterics but numerous options for Crystal Sand?

With Heavsward story now finished, did you know what the end result was always going to be or were there any difficulties along the way to consider the ending which you deemed the 'best'?

Why were the carbonweave/ironworks sets limited to DoH/DoL specifically? The DoH hat would be /great/ glamour for a combat class.

Aymeric offered 'any reward' as a result of our service, yet you have yet to deliver on your talk of letting us join Ishgard as our new national allegiance. If there is any reward that could be bestowed, nothing would please me more.
