[Drygir]

What will the requirements be for PS3 players?

[Shiki_Lockhart]

It is going to be possible to add players from other server to your friend list when you do cross-server content and be able to chat with them?

I would like to know because I could be in a different server and still be able to chat with them and do some content too.

[Dzian]

Combat. Will Skills have longer durations. Things like spinning heal and outmanouver? Sometimes I think durations are really short.

[Drygir]

Train transportation! Will it be available for use/testing during beta? If not during the beta test will it be available for the release?

Also will the train be a CS like the airship rides were in 1.0 or will it be more like an actual ride with a nice setup like this maybe?

or this

[Drygir]

Will the train transportation if available at beta or release (assuming it is not going to be a CS) have monsters to fight at some point like a random encounter (like the pirates that every now and then showed up on the boat rides in FFXI)?

Also is there a chance of Doom Train to be tested during beta? Maybe as a F.A.T.E. encounter where it pulls up to the station or along side it instead of the normal train.

[Drygir]

When will pre-ordering the game (collector's edition and/or normal version) be available for the PS3 version? What bonus gear/items might be available with said pre-orders?

[Ozz]

Will we be able to explore Coerthas at launch?

With the Ps3 version, will you still be able to earn Playstation Network trophies if you have been an existing player on PC and intend to spend time playing ARR on both PS3 and PC.

[Altanas]

Given the failings of other recent MMOs in lacking endgame content, can you reveal to us more endgame event types and their timescales for inclusion?

[Altanas]

Can you allow PvP duel requests in any zone?

[Altanas]

Can you allow Linkshell/Company Leader duel requests that will automatically flag all Company members in the zone so Linkshells/Companies can have showdowns?
