2. Give me more roles to play.

I'm tired of just Tank/Healer/DPS give me some new roles.

Please look forward to the new limited job.

I wouldn't bother quoting MrKusakabe because chances of a reply are near zero.
Not naming and shaming, but in another thread he stated:

Usually, I never come back into a thread because my statements are solid when I hit "Submit reply"(...)

They're probably still reading. What would be the point in making a statement and not sticking around to see reactions to it? Their word isn't law neither are they some high level celebrity or VIP for them to assume their posts are gospel.

I really just want Japanese players opinions and questions cause they seem to be the only ones wanting a better game and not to cater to some "Social Agenda".

I look around these forums and it's amazing how many off the wall things I've seen people ask for.
Some I can get behind, some I can kinda understand ... but many seem to just be people trying to make this the most non-committal safe space they can.

Judging by what ive read i dont care if he answers or reads it,my post was more general than strictly directed to him.
Same goes for the OP but hes a hypocrite anyway and ppl know it xD

Many MMO players would kill to get this type of stuff SE does with QnA and Live Letters

Ehhhh, I dont know about that.

Things Squeenix covers in liveletters are covered by most other Devs as forum announcements, forum conversations or on PTR/Beta realms, all of which 14 avoids like the plague.


We put up with 6 months worth of "tee hee we arent giving you all the info, please to be looking forward to it" prior to an expansion where EVERY other major mmo (except runescape) makes all of that available to everyone in one sitting about that many months out, and lets people interact with it before the patch or expansion launches.


I consider "thats something we dont know if we can do" a non answer. If you ask yes or no questions and get "if the stars align perfectly we might consider it" as an answer, you didnt actually learn anything.

I would love a True Support Role but FFXIV is stuck in the holy Trinity system

Theres no third leg to the trinity in 14. Its a binary here. Theres no reliable crowd control to speak of.

You've learned that it's not off the table, just not a priority for now, so there is value to keep asking about it so the developer know it is still desired. It's not like they've never given a direct yes/no answer before.

Also, I need to address this. What sort of logic are they following..adding Yshtola’s new outfit (5.0, mind you) and not adding Lyse’s 4.0 Stormblood red outfit? No hair of her’s either. So this basically confirms they are done with 4.0 Mogstation NPC outfits, and we shouldn’t expect Lyse’s red attire/Hair for another 2-3 years, if ever.

While I personally prefer the new Y'shtola outfit over Lyse's, I don't see why they couldn't have added hers as well.

Because that would have made it 3 female only outfits back-to-back while the guys get nothing in particular because you have far more interesting and unique designs for female NPCs in this game, as far as hair+clothes combo goes.

Update 1: Aymeric set (Hair is not exclusive to the guys, doesn't have pants, doesn't have boots, doesn't have hat) + Edda set (Is a full, five piece set)
Update 2: Hien set + Lyse set (comes with genderlocked earrings)
Update 3: Gosetsu set (is a full set)
Update 4: Minfilia set (doesn't have gloves, doesn't have shoes, doesn't have hat)
Update 5: Y'shtola's 3rd mog outfit

Seems like we are getting Krile's outfit too at some point, according to datamining, which will also be female exclusive. And I am pretty sure we'll also be seeing Ryne's oufit becoming available at some point as well. If you add Lyse's alternate outfit as well while most guys in this game just wear generic job/dungeon/craft gear... Oof.
I don't mean to start a gender fight, but I think you understand what I'm trying to say, and why the devs maybe just complete ignore requests such as some NPC outfts, even though I do enjoy the clothing and think it would look gorgeous on most women in this game. The sad part is: I can't think of something that would be equaly interesting to me as a guy to wear, with the same enthusiasm the girls (and guys that play girls) have for Y'shtola's, Krile's, Yotsuyu's, Ryne's, Alisaie's and Lyse's wardrobe because there really isn't much. Apart from Hien, Thancred pre-Shadowbringers, Aymeric and Emet, most important men in this game look like they came from the nearest market board, while most women look absurdly unique in their wardrobe design.

Expected either ARR or SB Primal weapons at a minimum.
Either to maintain ARR as a consistent base, or SB for the 'one previous expansion' trend.

The ARR primals being a staple of FF and with the new raid tier based on them, I would be surprised to not see any of the missing primal weapons..
