Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXVIII! (Exploring Patch 3.2)

[Kartisan]

Also, the 1.0 labeled but never released shepard class, perhaps to be used to raise and breed fighting companions other than the chocobo or part of its own mini game [ ffxi's pankration aka pokemon ]?

Will retainers become summonable fighting companions in the future or a similarly customizable companion?

An expansion of chocobo porter routes, not adding more but allowing more destinations to be selected at each place, including combinations of existing routes?

[Calista_Setaph]

Are there any plans for further adjustments to the TP cost of Paladin and Dark Knight weaponskills?

For example, will Royal Authority and/or Rage of Halone get a cost reduction to be in line with Goring Blade?

For Dark Knight, what about the option that the next Souleater or Power Slash has no TP cost when used under the effect of Dark Arts?

Would it be possible to make adjustments to Extreme Primal Tokens for those of us with a significant amount in order to alleviate inventory congestion, by:
- making the maximum sizes of stacks larger
- converting them into Key Items
- converting them into a currency similar to Tomestones
- allow conversion into other existing, lesser currencies as already happens with Tomestones (for example, into Allied Seals or MGP)
- adding a title that can be purchased by those with significant amounts of Tokens (for example, <The Undaunted>)
- creating additional items that can be bought with them (for example, a set of Primal-inspired costume body pieces)
- or even making the mounts from the Extreme Primals purchasable with an appropriate amount of Tokens?

I heard the shepard class was another type of gatherer for like animal meat and eggs. Would be interesting.

There is a large following for Shantoto in the Final Fantasy XI community, and many XI players have came to XIV. Do you think we could get a version of her robes to wear? Also, will we see any famous female clothing represented in subscription rewards? Celes , Terra, Rosa, or Rydia armor is something I have personally wanted for a while now, and I think a lot of players would also like them.

Will we ever see a Kefka trial? He is my favorite character in all of Final Fantasy history. Since the warring triad has been introduced into XIV, it seems only proper that he come in with them.

The new hairstyles introduced in patch 3.2 (as well as the older ones) appear as if the front/bangs could be switched with the back/hair length. Can we expect to see a mix-and-match with certain hairstyles in the future?
