Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXXVII! (Art Director Minagawa)

[Coldbrand]

Do you ever intend to add more icons to items? It's gotten ridiculous at this point trying to tell what item is which in my retainer's inventory. Here's a usability question; how am I supposed to know the difference between formic acid/deepeye tears/gyr abanian mineral water/dravanian spring water/abalathian spring water/effervescent water/distilled water/filtered water and many, many more? This isn't exclusive to water either. Larch lumber is hallowed chestnut etc..

Could there be a possibility for more varied heights in the playable races? I'm not saying having a Highlander the size of a Lalafell or viceversa, but for some races it'd look more aesthetically pleasing if they could be a tad shorter or taller. From personal experience with male elezen, proportions look weird at anything but the shortest height and even then the ratio head to shoulder is not the best, I think they could benefit from a bit shorter default height.

Have you considered a land-based Moogle race?

I imagine the Lalafell gear could fit them perfectly if done correctly

I really wish they'd fix our necks to look a little less jarring when naked.

In 1.0 the action bar would hide when not in use, as such leaving a more clean view of the screen when traversing or simply talking to NPC's, and this feature is enabled now as well for the cross-hotbar, could it be possible to have an option to enable the "auto hide" on other UI elements? the new gauges, the action bars, exp bar, etc...

Thanks for all the hard work!

Would there be a chance to have a PSY inspired dance for FFXIV any time in the future? :3 /moonliftdance is the closest to Gangnam Style atm.

[BiriKomori]

Is there any chance we could a blue Final Fantasy 9 themed HUD texture instead of the current grey one if it's not too difficult to implement?
If it's costly-ish maybe consider making it a mog station thing? I would definitely buy a FF9 blue theme for sure.

Also, I know we have minions, but maybe something fun (and pointless) could be added for some future mog station minions where you can see sticker emoji reactions to what's going on in the game (it could hook into the same hooks Logitech uses perhaps)
Something like these: http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/pr/sta...iv/win/buying/

Just some suggestions!
Thanks for all the hard work!
おつかれさまでした！

With the Stormblood expansion being eastern themed, can Ninja finally have weapons designed as kunai? You can still cut things with sharp kunai and they're perfect for throwing!

[Ninimo_Babamo]

Do you plan on adding in a goobbue house stile similar to the moogle, chobobo, and paissa?
Goobbues are cuter than the other be far I also really think you guys should add in goobbue themed armor for glamour like what was submitted in one of the previous tank gear design contests.

Can he direct the art team to make the textures on armor/walls/floors/etc to be more high res? Its 2017 and yet some parts of this game look like its still 1997.

Also PLEASE can you update the texture and test it to not clip into banners/placards for FC houses. It looks terrible and never centers right.
