Ask Yoshi-P and Banri Oda Your Questions for the gamescom 2019 Q&A

[odym82]

The entire first part of the Dragoon quests make no sense depending on when you do them. Will a different storyline be implemented for this?

Since apparently most people in the Audience on this side of things just dont seem to understand what this Q&A actually is.Gamescom (stylized as gamescom) is a trade fair for video games held annually at the Koelnmesse in Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Since 2018, it has been organised by game – Verband der deutschen Games-Branche; and before that, by the Bundesverband Interaktive Unterhaltungssoftware (BIU) (English: Association of the German video game industry).Until 2008, it was held in Leipzig, Saxony, Germany. Gamescom is used by many video game developers to exhibit upcoming games and game-related hardware.

Thus to be the bearer of bad news but Not a one of your healer or pixel related questions will not be addressed in the Q&A (No matter how many upvotes you get for them) and alot of you are being beyond antagonistic and disrespectful in the tone and line of your questioning in the first place.(Remember there are people on the other end of the screen that read these too) The questions that will get answered here in the Q&A are lore , world development, new characters and features.

Now that that little bit is out of the way here is my question.



Q:Now that you've shown a way to save the first and the source of the light. Would Eden be feasible to bring back stability to the 13th and if so what effect would that entail on the source would it stabilize the source or make the threat of an accidental rejoining if so.

Now that that little bit is out of the way here are my questions.

Q1:I absolutely adore Ryne but I'm hoping that somehow there's a way that she can join us all back on the source will this be possible and will Gaia be our enemy or ally in the future of the game.

Q2:Now that you've shown a way to save the first and the source of the light. Would Eden be feasible to bring back stability to the 13th and if so what effect would that entail on the source would it stabilize the source or make the threat of an accidental rejoining if so.

Q3:Now one of the biggest questions I have is New Game + will there be anything new or different in store for those of us that take this feature and follow it through back to current endgame?

Mimimimi "not to be the bearer of bad news", but they don't answer multiple questions found in the same post, your post will be ignored anyways. As will mine~

But I'll post a question anyways to stay on topic:

Question: Why is there still not any form of Public Test Server to test the bigger changes you make to this game? It is clear from battle classes you have made many changes that have upset your playerbase, stabbing in the dark is only going to get you so far, you need to start letting your fanbase know you are listening to us, less via the Live letters but also through the forums, the outrage on certain parts on here being ignored is crazy.

Now that the Additional/Role Action system has been essentially reworked, is there any chance that old ability animations (such as Leeches, Exalted Detriment, Shadowskin, Foresight, Shroud of Saints, Luminiferous Aether, etc.) could be returned to the game? It helped give jobs a unique aesthetic and identity.

With Shadowbringers we finally learned the reason why each umbral calamity is aspected to an element, is there a reason why all of them so far have been different elements or is it just coincidence that we haven't had two (for example) earth aspected calamities?

[NekoNova]

• With the launch of Shadowbringers, we have seen an increase in players, directly affecting the housing market on populated servers. Are there plans to extend the wards, or redo the housing system so everyone has the opportunity to have his own place?
• Are we going to see Addon support any time soon?
• Everyone has a Chocobo in this game, but outside the open world combat during leveling, there's very little use for our feathery friend. Are there any plans to open up sidequests that involve our Chocobo's to unlock minigames, rewards or special content?
• We're 2019, approaching 2020, yet our game seems to be the only one still running single server instances. Are there plans to change data-centers into a single server at least to address load and balance issues between servers?

[KanameYuuki]

The Warrior of light has been seen as an Archer, Warrior, Dragoon, Monk, Samurai and Dark Night, that makes it 2x Tank and 4x DPS. Is there any chance for the WoL to represent us healers on future expansions?

[Iscah]

There's an important line that we'd like to confirm the implications of, because the wording is a bit ambiguous.

Emet-Selch remarks that we are of the Source, "seven times rejoined".

Is he talking about our soul, or only the world?

If our soul has been rejoined, does that mean everyone on the Source has been rejoined to another soul-fragment with each Calamity, or are we (and perhaps other specific characters) special in some way?

[Iscah]

Does the term "Ascian" refer to all members of the ancient race, or only the specific group who summoned Zodiark?
