Letter from the Producer LIVE 53: Ask Your Shadowbringers Questions!

[Enthy]

Could you add an NPC where we can store full gear sets like the Porter Moogle system from FFXI? (Storage slip #6 was one item and it would allow you to store all Artifact armor obtained in Dynamis, a total of 120 items) there are currently 26 storage slips. Thats a ton of gear we can store in FFXI!

Can we be allowed to change skin tone and eye color in the Aesthetician? The character creator view lighting isn't accurate on how my character will look in game. And it would just be nice to pop in some contact lenses and get a tan once in a while

In Shadowbringers there have been a lot of skills that were changed from being their own skills to skills that get "upgraded" into new ones as you level through traits. Such as Rage of Halone Mastery turning Rage of Halone into Royal Authority and the machinists shot combo becoming the heated shot combo. However, I know a few people, myself included, who liked the look of the animation of the skills before they got upgraded more than their upgraded versions and was sad to see them disappear once they got upgraded.

My question is if it would be possible to implement a system wherein we could toggle which of the two animations is used for these upgraded skills? So that we can see the animations that we may prefer in current content instead of only level synced content? Essentially a very limited "glamour" system for skills. I would want it only to be the animation that would change, so for example, at level 60 when you get Royal Authority, you would be able to choose to use Rage of Halone's animation but still get the potency/effect from Royal Authority.

I think this could offer people a way to differentiate their characters a little bit flavor-wise. I know it may be confusing at first but since the potency/effects of these skills wouldn't change could you maybe at least consider it?

Is it possible to change how Leveling Roulette works when a fixed light party queues? Meaning, the party will get a dungeon that is suitable to the person with the lowest level. I cannot tell you how many times me and my friends have done Leveling Roulette together, but we end up in Sastasha, even though we were all level 50+.

Since Viera look so nice in their high heel RSE feet could we have more shoes like that that are not thigh high? More high heel shoes for all races would be nice.

Are there any plans to allow players to upgrade the floor plan if their apartment to match a small, medium, or large house’s interior?

(Since apartments are more plentiful than houses it would be wonderful to be able to do this. I would happily pay the same as or very close to the same price as buying one of those houses costs. It would make a great gil sink and allow players who are unable to get a house to be able to achieve their dreams without having to add entire neighborhoods to the game.)

Will we see Lyse or Small Minfillia's hair on the mogstation anytime soon?

In future expansions, will jobs be updated in ways other than new actions?

The reason I ask is because jobs may someday be developed to a point where they are fun and engaging to play, and further changes to the job in terms of adding new mechanics or actions may actually DETRACT or errode the quality of the job's design.

I also ask because, in some ways and with some jobs, we seem to have reached that point or are nearing it. Take the fact that some actions are removed, only to be added back later in a slightly altered form. For instance, Nascent Flash is my favorite new warrior action. I love it not because of the action's ability to shield another player, although that is also really cool, I find that I love it mostly because it gives me back a form of Bloodbath which I felt was really integral to the Warrior's design.

In the 5.01 patch, GNB sound effects received substantial changes. The feedback from the community thus far seems to be overwhelmingly negative, both in the official forums and on social media. Is this feedback being acknowledged, and can we expect to see any further tweaks or even a complete reversion to the old sounds? Additionally, can you help explain the thought process behind the decision to make this kind of change so soon after launch? It feels like it was very rushed.

Hello Yoshi P. In an old Live Letter from Heavensward it was asked if we could have a Dhamel mount. Your response was "I think our mount team could handle that." Can we please have a Dhamel mount? It could be a Poetics cost. A certain amount of Rowena Tokens that adds up to a few thousand Poetics.
