Please Do The Q & A very, very soon then

Please do the Q & A very, very soon then (much sooner than the next Live Letter).

Logistics are tough & it's hard to plan for such a crowd but it's really important to everyone who spent a lot of their time & efforts into those questions you asked for to be responded to at this Live Letter XX.

It doesn't have to be live, just write Q/A responses... you guys already have done that sort of summary in the past anyway.

Please create time for it & I ask humbly that you please do not put it off until the next Live Letter.

We will have a whole laundry list of new questions we want answered for that one.

Not only that, we don't want these old questions crowding out the new ones, ultimately creating a scenario where fewer questions are answered over all & we must wait much longer.

Please give us the answers to our Live Letter XX Questions far before the next Live Letter in May.

Sometime in this coming week would be great!

Thank you for considering this SE, awesome work on LLXX!!!

When I saw they had two dedicated threads for questions, I was expecting a pretty sizable Q/A session to follow. Instead, once again, they spent the entire block talking about stuff we can't have yet, and only answered the questions they were planning on talking about either way.

At this rate, I'm expecting the next LIVE letter to be restricted to questions on the expansion, with any questions about what happens to FFXIV as a whole in the meantime (or after) shuffled off quietly until they're no longer relevant.

Yeah, the community spent a bunch of their efforts drafting those questions, monitoring the questions as they came in to upvote, & pondering what questions to ask next.

I alone spent a couple good hours just thinking on what the game could use & what to ask, just thinking.

It's important we get this Q&A handled prior to the next Live Letter, as-is.

SE, it's okay not to do it Live.

This is a great idea. It doesn't have to be a live letter from the producer, just an official Q&A based on the many thoughtful questions people have posted.

It always felt that they do it the current way simply, to downsize the amount of questions they actually get. It also seems they choose to answer the questions that are either(generally silly questions like, "Will I be able to access the Alexander raid without the expansion????"). Let's be honest here, a lot of people on the forums submit pretty dumb questions, and its easy for them to kill two birds with one stone, by answering the easy ones for them that they have more or less prepared answers for.

Either that or, they already have questions they plan on using and the Q&A threads are just joke incentive to look like they're involved with the community.

It's actually quite noticeable when there's an extreme intellectual question presented that is so well put that it deserves to be answered, and it's completely ignored.

This is a great idea. It doesn't have to be a live letter from the producer, just an official Q&A based on the many thoughtful questions people have posted.

I would much more prefer a thread where they go through the solid questions and answer them individually, outside of a Live Letter limited to a time block. It would be far more effective in tackling these.

I think the devs only answer questions they got an answer to or can answer with minimal backlash.

SE, may you please, please do this?

Bingo. We got a business man here. Do just enough to keep them trying not enough to push them away. Q/A has always been dodgey. I suggest not taking it serious for the sake of your sanity.

I know I might not be in the majority with this one, but I didn't really care about the second half of the live letter when all they talked about was the cut scene production and sound, honestly that's not what I tuned in for and I really couldn't have cared less about any of it. I know some people will have found it interesting though, but I would have much preferred a Q&A session to that...
