AS a avid MMO player from several different games, I just want to say that it is a honor to finally play a game that has artstyle expected in a Final Fantasy Series and a class higher than any other MMO out there, My question is, Being a avid player of Final Fantasy 11 and knowing how the Class system worked there, could you please explain if you guys are planning on making addition classes with jobs or are jobs going to made through current classes like to be a Dark Knight you would do Maruader and Black Mage or are thier going to be additional classes added and mixed with current classes?

If the Account Information Compromise is actually from a '3rd party source' being hacked and not directly a FFXIV: ARR breach of security, why are no FFXI-only accounts effected? If the hacked source is a 3rd party and not the responsibility of Square Enix, how do they know all these FFXIV: ARR accounts exist and then RMT are using the information so quickly?
And why is there no source information on the supposed 3rd party that was hacked?

With the addition of new primal fights, can we expect to see additional Egi Summons for the Summoner Class in the future? Or maybe a 3rd Tier of Summons, that might be bigger than the Egi?

Can you make it so that you can hide Tank Armour (The one where you cannot equip helmets)? The armour I'm talking about is the one where you cannot equip helmet, like DL one. You cannot take it off whatsoever. I want to see my character's face.

And is it possible to change the Chocobo's mount music to the Porter's music? I like that one more..

^^^this. yes please let us have the option to change the music

Could you please make some sort of inventory sorting system ? (pretty annoying to place items from 1 backpack slot to another)

Will the Chocobo Raising be similar to the way it was in Final Fantasy VII? Not precisely in process, but in results such as the types of Chocobo (Mountain, River, Gold, etc)?

[LOVELESS_FF7]

Will we receive a type of farm to go along with our land corresponding with the different crafting and gathering classes? i.e. a garden to pick vegetables and ingredients from for cooking or a rock patch to mine ores from.

[LOVELESS_FF7]

Will you ever be planning to add a voice chat functionality, even if only for party members, to FFXIV:ARR?

In regards to the RMT spamming and account hacking, is it possible to ban their IP addresses even if it is temporary to start with. To prevent them from logging in on someone elses hacked account and continue spamming?

As of right now trying to chat with other players in towns is next to impossible, even with blacklisting as they just create a new character and start the spamming over again.

I agree with guyaume on this, the end game content is unplayable with this kind of lag even on fast connection (40mbps fiber). This doesn't happen with other MMOs I've played. So here's the questions:

Q1: Are there any plans to reduce the lag?
Q2: Can you implement a way to measure the latency in milliseconds?
Q3: Can you implement an info menu/bar to measure the DPS?
