As I understand it, the houses will be broken up into instances of 30. When one neighborhood is full a new one is created to allow "infinite" housing options. The only way I have heard for you to be in the same neighborhood as your friends is to enter the instance in a party. I was wondering if there will be a way to create a housing instance specifically for your FC, so that you can all live in the same neighborhood without having to form parties to enter together and risk someone else moving in and taking a house.

I have also read that each neighborhood will contain a specific amount of large, medium, and small housing plots. I assume most gamers will eventually go for a large land plot as a sign of accomplishment. If this is the case, will there be opportunities to upgrade the housing the plot from small to medium to large or will the players that want the limited large plots have to wait for others to fill up a neighborhood and keep trying to jump into a new neighborhood that has open large land plots and race for the spots?

1. How do the developers feel about both the JP's and NA/EU's concerns with warrior being undervalued due to the lack of defensive cooldowns, lackluster self-heals, and 10% unaccounted for mitigation difference when compared to Paladin?

2. Are there plans to address the concerns of our warriors?

3.Are there plans to address voidzone latency?
There is often severe animation latency and regular latency on abilities both player-side and monster-side. The position check every 300ms on the server side also affects moving out of these abilities because sometimes the check appears to occur in the middle of moving out of an ability, so you get hit, even if you moved out in time.

I look forward to hearing your responses concerning these questions. Getting some answers for these questions would mean a lot to me and the community.

Thank you. ^^

Will there be new summons besides the initial 3 (Ifrit, Garuda, Titan)? If so, what new summons will be introduced?

Are there plans to introduce new mounts to the game?

Are Ninja, Samurai, Red Mage, or Blue Mage going to be introduced to the game with patches/expansions?

Will there be a change to the targeting system? At the moment it is difficult to toggle through enemies without having to cycle through every enemy in the area before being able to focus on the three or four currently attacking you.

Are you ever intending on bringing back the concept of Path companions from FFXIV 1.0?

Can personal housing be shared with all of your characters? That is, if I buy a house on my main character, can I give my alt access to it also?

QUESTION: When will it be possible for hacked accounts that had gil loss and damage to be rolled back?

There are many victims of RMT hackers that have been waiting weeks to a month or more for a rollback to continue playing and for whom it is almost not worth playing until they get a rollback. It says we get 2 rollbacks in case of account compromise using SE token and that completion time is 7-10 days but SE support has told me that rollback has yet to be possible even though there are character saves stored to rollback to.

Losing this much time waiting for a rollback is terrible considering that the end game gear is earned by saving tomestones week to week. Please give us some timeline as to when rollback will be possible as it is ridiculous to expect people to put in months and years of time into a game without some sense of account security.

If you don't think this a question worth answering then please look at the forum post below. You will see just how many people this is affecting and just how much distress it is causing, and these are just the few of the many that haven't given up or posted in forums.

Any plans to add companion oriented questing? I would like to see chocobo oriented content to nourish a strong relationship between my character and his mount/companion.

I apologize in advance for not being able to read through 13 pages of threads to identify if this question has been asked.

Can you give us a timeline and a plan on how you intend to allow Legacy players to transfer to Non-Legacy Servers. You can be assured that there are a lot of people very disappointed at that announcement. There is an obvious understanding that the economy is the main reason for it, but you could simply give an interim procedure where they are asked to sacrifice a large amount of their gil to transfer, and explain that there will be future developments in the economy if users would prefer to wait for a better solution.
