Will the abilities "Jump" and "Spineshatter Dive" for Dragoon ever gain the ability to dodge attacks while airborne?

This was a staple of the previous Final Fantasy titles. Kain Highwind, for example, could use "Jump" and effectively dodge any incoming attacks until after his attack landed and he was back in place. This made "Jump" a very strategic option, and I believe it would make for a very exciting experiance in FFXIV!

Is anything going to be done with the current, rather useless state, of Cure III and thus it's Overcure trait as well? Right now the incredibly low range keeps it from even being a decent situation spell. Even if buffed, I don't see how it won't be wholefully redundant.

Thank you.

what will be the next class or job ?

[Knives]

Not many who take anatomy seriously are happy with the way the character models have been changed in 2.0. If nothing can be done for our current characters, even in the distant future...

Will you consider the butt when creating new races?

[Knives]

Will we see new emotes to coincide with our new housing?

I think it would be great to be able to "/nap" and snooze while waiting for my friends!

After completing "A relic Reborn" quest, you introduced a new concept of upgrading existing unique weapons into a higher Item level: Relic +1.
Will there be plans to upgrade Relic and Artifact armor further in the far future? For example, Relic +2 or Artifact Armor +1?

[Knives]

When the weapon is sheathed, will we ever see the return of the turning and stopping animations present in 1.0?

Subscription Difficulties
Are there any plans to address the issue of setting up subscriptions for those receiving the 401/601 errors?

What changes are on the way for melee classes? As of right now, they are not even remotely close to being on par with ranged DPS. Most raid compisitions are stacking ranged, which usually leaves 1 spot only for a melee class if at all. The server is also constantly doing position checks for AoEs and still players (Mostly melee) are getting smashed even though they're out of the red.

Also, Dragoon Jumps; the bread and butter of the class since the SNES days are mediocre at best, and generally not worth it to use in boss fights as the marginal DPS increase does not offset the higher probability of death because you're essentially stunning yourself inside red circles. Will there be any change to this?

Warriors are paper, and are not viable MTs in coil, is there any chance of a buff?

Are there any future plans for allowing us to redeem "Trigger" items required during 1.xx gameplay to access Primal Fights, Vortex Headdress, Unmarked Keystones, etc which many player's still have lots of sitting around collecting dust, for Philosophy/Mythology tomes or any uses towards upgrading existing weapons/armor with these items?
