Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XII! (Assitant Director Takai)

[AceUnbound]

Finally, can you explain why Eos and Selene's pathings have become so odd? I remember them moving a lot sooner when I would dodge an AOE giving them a chance to dodge it as well. But now, I've noticed them kind of just waiting there and staring like they want to die in the blast. It's odd that our fabled fey can't follow as well as my pudgy puk minion who does absolutely nothing in battle.

[Kuo]

will we ever get a option to hide jewelery?

[DarkkenMoneybags]

Will current classes/jobs get more abilities down the road?

[Andersonvlw]

Any chance for a CHOCOBO DIG feature? Like find good (please) items on the ground when chocobo smells? (FFXIII)
Any chance for a chocograph like in FFIX?
Any chance for chocobo colors? With more speed and features?

[Andersonvlw]

Any chance for choco meteor attack? Choco ball?
Can u make itens more usefull? Like phoenix down? Potions etc, more FF style.
Limit break for solo battles or individuals limit break? Not 1 per group.
Any chance for LIMIT BREAK levels like FFVII? For individual limit breaks. Please.

[RagnaBahamut]

Will do when make the challange battle for a Fenrir and Diabolos like Primal Battles?

[Solfleur]

Love the game so far. Any chance of getting more realistic physical characteristics ie butt slider? Characters are out of balance physically, and I say this AS a female medical professional.

I do not think it was Square-Enix's intent to make the stronger allegedly female characters look like cross dressers, though the option is a very nice nod to the LGBT community and appreciated I am sure.

The reason that your minion appears to follow better than your fairy is pretty simple: Minion pathing and interactions are all calculated client side, but because the fairy is actually subject to battle environments their interactions are calculated server side. This can be observed if you have 2 people playing on monitors side by side, especially with the interaction between the wolf pup and couerl cub.

First off I'd like to offer a Thank You to you and the rest of the Dev Team for your work on FFXIV so far and your continued work on the game.

1. As far as questions, what has your experience been like working on a game that flopped in its original iteration and bringing it back to a game many of us love today? as well as your experience working with the team as a whole?

2. I know many people have asked Yoshi-P, but what is your personal vision for the future of the game and the design of it?

[StealthTai]

3. Is there any plans for making "The Grind" a bit less grindy? I have quite a number of friends who will do a bit and try to get at least half of their tomes and want to get geared, but don't want to spend philos on DL because they know they are just going to replace it in a very small time frame with Myth/CT gear or would prefer to do other things instead of repeating the same dungeon over and over just to cap.

Thank You for your time and I am looking forward to the Live Letter!
