Questions and Feedback on the Future of FINAL FANTASY XIV

[Seirra_Lanzce]

In my region there is only Click & Buy, and it seems they do not accept my card, will there be new payment option globally? Like PayPal or such? because is such a hassle that i need to go get a new credit card, when i already have 4, and all 4 is quite old (1yrs++) and no debt and such but i can't use it because they say my card is not usable.

i noticed in the new system and content list that summoning primals will be available to free companies that defeat them. does that mean that there will be a summoner job that can summon them or will anyone be able to summon them regardless of job? i would be very unhappy if its not a job, because that was the number one thing i have been looking forward to.

I like the definitions "Public" and "Private" Companies (under the Grand Company umbrella) more than this "Free company" name tbh.

There's feedback.

1) One thing many of us in my various linkshells have voiced is a desire to see events more on the scale of Dynamis or Limbus. Will we be seeing endgame battle areas that are for 8+ people? We'd also like to see upgradable relic weapons that require accomplishments in all areas of gameplay like the relics and mythic from XI. Is this something we can look forward to?

2) I very much like the current look of the character I created, so I am curious will the graphics change come with a change in the artistic style of the game for example like a move to the more cartoonish style of WoW? Since the option to update character race, gender etc. seems tied to this change as opposed to just adding more character options. I'm also curious if this option to update character graphics will be a one time thing at login, or provided as a part of a barbershop option? Will we see more concept art for characters published as the v2 launch comes closer?

3) Will crafters be able to take all crafts to the final cap or will a limit be imposed on the number of crafts that can be raised to the final cap?

edit: added two questions. Question two was posted in a separate thread, and I really wanted it in the Q&A thread not discussion so re-posting it here.

diablo3 no monthly fee, guild wars 2 no monthly fee, swtor well monthly and dunno how good it will be but it's be out a month after you start billing and i bet most will be willing to pay them to find out then pay you when they already know what the situation is.

game is not ready for charges, it's still empty servers(merge?, save your money there instead) don't charge us to try to look competent. just this week you had emergency maintenance that got half the players rank 1-50 on half or all there classes while half of us took a year to do, you think we want to pay for another year and you do these same mistakes and make our gaming even more pointless and on top that pay you for it?

some may say game of ffxi launch same way, but NA didn't ...we had an expansion already or i can bet you we'd send you packing back then too. we had X10 for 3 city state missions, we had zilart, we had sky, we had tons to do and never was there a day i didn't have things fun to do. total opposite of now, in fact your game is starting out like your wotg ended, low pop, content coming out way to slow and people just tired of you and bs. besides that another year in ...i'd say most games only take a year of charging b4 they go free to play or shut down. i guess you just want our money for a year? even tera is lacking content, guess what they not coming to NA till they have a full blown expansion, mid next year.. not charging us, granted we not playing but so what that was your choice to keep us playing.

edit and like the above mentioned, real game play is full linkshell and large scale for pve, not dungeons no matter how many you add(even though u aren't adding many, if u add up the amount of them you will for the next year it's still less then most games have.) no matter how many, lol it will never be enough or worth paying for, i guess this is why you adding pvp instead, try to make up for the lacking but it won't help since most games do that better too.

i noticed in the new system and content list that summoning primals will be available to free companies that defeat them. does that mean that there will be a summoner job that can summon them or will anyone be able to summon them regardless of job? i would be very unhappy if its not a job, because that was the number one thing i have been looking forward to.

I really hope it becomes a job also. What I gathered from the reading and pictures is there is going to be two types of PvP, one of them large scale probably pitting companies against each other. Companies that have defeated all the primals may have them at their disposal during the battle giving them an advantage. That's just my opinion.

Not sure if my question has been asked, not all too keen on reading through 29 pages of posts to check, but I saw that male Miqo'te will be added in 2.0. I usually only stick to one character for MMORPG's and if male Miqo'te had been an option from the beginning that is what I would have chosen.

My question is if there will be anyway for someone to transfer their character to a new race? Essentially I want to know if there will be anyway I can have my main character be a male Miqo'te but not lose all the progress I have done with my character as it is?

do u plan on adding a /duel option for pvp. and will the pvp be timed like in ffxi or will it be cross server queue system.

Okay .. here's one people might look at me funny for but...

Where are the higher-end crafted Actons? So far as I can tell, they just seem to stop after Cotton. This is a rather worrying thing for me given it's kind of my favourite piece of gear in the game, and I'm going to be at a bit of a disadvantage if I'm forced to live in this Dated Velveteen Acton forever.

And yes I know about the Harlequin's and Brigand's Actons, but A: I don't much like their colours, B: one of them's not compatible with my favoured disciplines, and C: they can't bear materia.

Are they gone? If they are, will they be implemented in another wave of new gear pieces? Or is the future of the Acton a relegation to entry-level gear only?

Perhaps a simpler phrasing would be...
Certain gear families (Actons and Dalmatica, for instance) do not have higher level craftable versions amongst the new recipes. Will this be rectified in the future?
