Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE: E3 Edition!

Will measures be implemented to prevent players from "kill trading" for full sets of PVP gear? The gap in gear between these players who kill traded and players starting out in PVP is immense, a huge deterrent for anyone starting out.
Perhaps remove D and F queues seeing as they are either only or heavily being used for this purpose, commendation feeding also.

Will the expansion take us to other Eorzean cities like Ala-Mhigo or will we cross the ocean to another continent?

Travel

Will the dev team please add content that adds the option for travel by airship/sea ship/ferry to take actual time instead of small cut scenes? Maybe ride costs more but takes longer and players can fish over side of boat or enter fates that only happen during ride? I would imagine this as leaving the quick ride option still available.

Will customization of the Novus weapons simply mean slotting Materia for a secondary stat (for little actual consequence), or will it be more advanced?

I played Lord of the Rings Online, and they had a very advanced system for the Legendary Weapons, where you could add different stones, gems, etc to not only stats, but also the way particular skills worked (i.e. x skill has faster cooldown, or y skill will have greater chance to proc). There were also enough valid choices that you could really be different to the next guy without being useless. I imagine people did narrow down to a single best in slot, but I wasn't concerned about that and was able to fit my own preferences and explore different playstyles.

What kind of real options can we look forward to with Relics, and will you be challenging players to think about personal choices or rather having best in slot choice vs wrong choice?

Will we see any gobbie bag (FF11) for our inventory increase? As you add more and more contents, I find myself struggling to limit my inventory to 100 and need to return to retainers quite often.

When will we get a new jobs in FFXIV?

[Velo_Vandore]

I've found it quite hard work when crafting to organize which materials I need to pull from my retainer when planning to craft a few different items in one sitting. This is particularly tricky I feel using the gamepad with PS3 inteface / menus.

Is there anything planned to improve usability / quality of life here, such as:

• An ingredient list populated automatically with ingredients from user marked recipies. So when you are in the retainer menu, you can see and pick items from this shortlist. Item on the shortlist could also be highlighted in the gathering log / gathering windows.
• Allowing players to craft using materials that aren't currently in their own bag, but are in the retainers bag (as though retainer is dropping them to us)
• Indication in the crafting log when required ingredients do exist in the retainers bag.

Any plans to make adjustments to cross class skills? Right now there only seem to be a handful of good ones, and it would be nice to see some adjustments and attention paid to this system. One idea that was proposed is to allow for cross class skills to be combo'd thus giving them a boost, where there currently is none.

Thanks,

Will we see the return of unique stats and enhancements in weapons and armor based on the class/job? Such as Curtana for PLD in FFXIV 1.0 had, Increases Spirits Within damage , Accuracy : +40, Healing Magic Potency : +15, HP : +120, Chance to restore MP.

Thank You
