Letters from the Players to the Producer - Volume I

[Kojikensei]

Lol this turned from a thank you thread into a dear Santa thread.... You guys may want to consider taking the time to thank the devs for all their hard work before you turn around and ask for more.

THANKS FOR EVERYTHING SO FAR AND FOR WHAT WE ARE ABOUT TO RECEIVE FFXIV TEAM! I SINCERELY APPRECIATE THE WORK YOU DO EVERYDAY!

Dear Yoshida san

Thank you for singlehandedly saving Square Enix.
FF14 1.0 was apparently THAT bad.

Thank you for the brilliant story- 2.55 made me sob like a babe, but it was beyond epic.
Cant wait for 3.0. Gonna nuke me some dragons <3

Thank you for coming to pax east- even tho I missed it for this year, I atleast
know that your interested in the east coast, so I may have my chance to actually meet you (someday)

Please continue making this game the best you and your team can!

(ps- please meet up with tabata san and nomura san for future collaborations.
We need keyblades and school uniforms desperately <3)

Dear Yoshida and Final Fantasy developers,

Where do you get off? Creating a balanced game and made it fun? Who do you think you are? By now you may have guessed I'm speaking ironically and have nothing but good things to say about what you do. Final Fantasy XIV Team, do not change and thing.

Signed,

Dear Yoshida and Dev team and SE,

Thank you for ending my search in MMO's. I started playing back in January of 2014 and have loved this game ever since then. Thank you for bringing the world of Eorzea to us all.

Sincerely,
Evorus

Dear Yoshi/Rest of Dev Team,


Thanks for finally bringing an alternative to WoW. I've been fed up with that game for a while and am very happy to have a game to play that provides quality content on a regular basis with good story and the care and attention to that story. Please keep up the good work. Keep adding that quality content (Looking forward to 3.0 very much!) And keep establishing FFXIV as a unique entry into the competitive world of modern MMO's.

The introduction of the first expansion to this wonderful game brings with it many hopes that it will continue to evolve into an ever more unique and quality MMO without losing any of the qualities that make it such a joy to play. I think I speak for everyone when I say that your attention to the community as a whole is greatly appreciated even though we sometimes don't act like it, or show it! ;P I understand that you all work very hard to address the most important issues. Without giving you a laundry list of things I hope you add or subtract from the game, I'm simply going to leave you with a very big THANK YOU.

PS: Also missed you at PAX East this year. Hope you return again (And that PAX finds a better way to sell tickets so that we don't get errored out for a half an hour before being told there are no tickets left... kind of a bummer to miss the stupid thing even though I live right around the corner!), but will likely return to Vegas for Fan Fest #2, should you have one! :P

Dear Yoshida, Final Fantasy developers, staff and SE

Thanks for a great game. The music is great, the story compelling and a nice world to which to play in.
A massive thanks for the Moogle post storyline (I want more!), the introduction of glamour and Moogle weapons! On a related note, why is there no White mage Moogle staff?! My other level 50 Jobs have their weapons glamoured to look like the Moogle weapons, yet I can not do the same with my White mage's staff! A wand just isn't viable in the end-game, largely because there's no high level shield for White mage.
I hope you add Moogle themed weapons (at some point) for the new jobs too, that would be awesome!!

Moogle mounts would also be awesome! Oh well, thanks for a great game.

Vas.

Dear Yoshi-P

1.0 Miqo'te booty, please.

Also, great job on turning FF14 around. Can you hint us the name of the next expansion just to create even more hype than there already is?

Dear Yoshi-P

That outfit that the Miqo'te with the bag is wearing? Are we getting something like that or is that foreshadowing of what will be released.



I agree with the 1.0 Miqo'te booty making a comeback. But only if the Miqo'te bust size increases as well.

Will we ever see a Tanking class in Gridania? I know that Machinist is coming out in Heavensward, but will we ever get the musketeer class (It could be a dual-weilding class if the Admiral is anything to go by)?

[mp-please]

Dear yoshi
Nobody cares about dragon girls, please give us viera already. Also 1.0 booty.

Thanks

Dear Yoshi-P

That outfit that the Miqo'te with the bag is wearing? Are we getting something like that or is that foreshadowing of what will be released.

That's just coliseum galerus with dyed scholar AF skirt/beginner miqo'te skirt. Not sure on the boots, they look like acolyte but not sure.

Dear Yoshia-san,

I would be most grateful if you could add in more "modern" clothing into the game for glamour purposes, I like to have my character wear a short-sleeve hoodie with a black t-shirt underneath and give me the option to dye the hoodie. Also things like sneakers and cargo baggy shorts would be nice to have and maybe other fingerless gloves the characters to wear. I guess something similar to Sora's outfit from Kingdom Hearts 2, but I want my own style of the clothing.

Also perhaps you could add in a second dye option for clothing like for the hoodie and shirt combo I mention where you can change the color of the base hoodie and shirt so instead of a black shirt you can have a white or blue one instead.

Another thing I like to see is for RNG items like the Zodiac Items, could you add in a monitor where if you don't get the drop you chances of getting it the next time increases slightly over time? Currently we're about at 11% drop rate for them but each time you fail to get it in that one run the drop rate increases 1% each time or something close to so it becomes more tolerable and easier to get the item and in a sense a "progress" is there instead of being super lucky all the time. I finished my Zeta weapon, but I think other players could benefit from it... they've do more than 100 runs in the same dungeon with not a drop in sight! Something like this needs to be added!

I really love FFXIV and is among my favorite MMO if not THE MMO for me and I would like to be able to see ALL of the cutscenes from the game since I started 2.0... I got the 1.0 copy but my computer at the time couldn't handle playing it so I had to wait until I got a better PC to do it or at least the PS3 at the time, but by the time I got the PC spec-ready and PS3 copy it was too late to try out 1.0 so I started at 2.0. Even though I like some of the beginning cutscenes during my first time playing the game would love to be able to re-watch them in the Never-ending Journal in the Inns. Plus consider it!

Thank you so much,

VirusChris


PS: Think you can make anime-ish short spiky hair too with the very tips are highlighted just right, kinda like the hairstyle Thancred's using but with the default hairstyle you start off first. It's OK, but it doesn't work for me especially with only one side getting highlights and the other not.
