Ask Your Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE, Part VI!

What aspects of FFXI do you plan on transitioning over to ARR? More specifically, implementation of various lvl NM's. Also I think it would be really cool if one city had a casino, with various mini-games one could opt for when tired of lvlng/crafting.

They already have plans of a casino ding-dong. It is called the "Golden Saucer".

Will the new SE Software Token (phone app) be able to be used interchangeably with the physical token (whichever is convenient at the time) or if we elect to use the phone app, will we have to disable our physical Security Token?

Can you tell us what other elements from other Final Fantasy games will Final Fantasy XIV: ARR adapt?

Random Dungeon?:

So I can't find the information about Crystal Tower and Bahamut's Labyrinth however, I've been informed in regards to the Crystal Tower that there'll be additional floors added in the future periodically. However is there any plan to make these, or any other dungeons random?. What I mean by random is something along the lines of Nyzul Isle from FFXI which every floor/entry into the instance would randomly generate a floor with different monster types, floor layout, objective, etc. Will we see anything similar upon release or in subsequent expansions?

Notorious Monsters; community reaction

So we've already seen that the development team has no plans to reintroduce notorious monsters or other rare/unique monsters roaming Eorzea outside of FATE as simple additional content however, due to the player feedback regarding the team's response and possible feedback regarding FATE upon release, will the development team ever reconsider if the general consensus remains that we would like additional unique/rare monsters that are not part of an instance or FATE?

Can you explain the FATE system in detail for those not in beta. We understand there are a variety of different types ranging from small mobs to notorious monsters, how will they be classified, how will you know the difference between them? Have HNM been addressed or will they only be integrated into Fate/Quests/Raids?

[Blackpearlguy]

This should be delete, there isn't any news about this outside of NDA info... . because that discussion comes only from there.. I do not think there any article out side stating this info.

Disagree, the last live letter and various interviews from the NA media tour say otherwise. Yoshi was quoted as saying NMs will only be in FATE, as for HNM they have not been addressed, although they could be the exact same thing.

How will drop rate work in relation to the new loot pool?

Example: Will you have to deal the most damage, or heal the most amount of HP to have it increased etc? Will there be items and/or jobs that increase the chances?

Oh :P ok thanks~

A while back Yoshi mentioned Primals would be kind of a roaming overworld type NM, could you perhaps elaborate how they will function compared to the old Primal Battles? Such as can anyone join in? How will claiming and loot distribution be worked out? And what kind of determining factors will play in who get's the Primal's aid if multiple groups are fighting it at once?
