Any chance we could get any hints about what second Jobs might be released for the current Classes? i.e.- Arcanist has Summoner (DPS) and Scholar (Healer). What second Job will Monk get?

Alternatively, what is a basic time frame on when we might see new Jobs for the current Classes?

There are many amazing unused songs from FFXIV 1.0. Will they ever return in A Realm Reborn?

Are you going to address the packet loss issue for the NA/EU server that a lot of people are having?

A lot of people have unsubscribed or chose not to subscribe because of this issue.

Square-Enix does not have a very good history customer service, we need more official statement on forums about the state of the game and what are being worked on. Square-Enix need to be more vocal about their game. Learn a thing or two from World of Warcraft, they are the #1 MMORPG for many reason, customer service is one of them.

There is a popular demand for Oceanic / Australian / New Zealand servers, what is the possibility of this?

Melee DPS is harder to play than ranged dps and there's not enough incentive to be one. No difference in damage, higher risk, positioning issues and being phased out by ranged dps end game.

Are dragoons and monks getting a buff anytime soon?

Black mages end game spells are 90% usless, Flare is useless because it takes away all MP and the damage it does and slow cast time do not reflect in any shape good dps or even a use. Seems like 90% of the class was an after though past level 30.

As for game issues, players on PS3 still get de synced from other party members and mobs, this happens to atleast 50% of the ps3 population, and I know it has been brought up to you guys before but you have made no attempt to fix this. for instance, If I am fighting Garuda hard mode and she will teleport, and come back, she wont show up till she does it again. Players will also have issues where it shows them at some point in the dungeon but you will not see them moving, you have to look at you map to see where they are. which is just a bad coding issue. you should have the ps3 and servers ping consistently to make sure data is write, and the fact that this does not happen with an mmo, is novice coding at best.

Just a few things I'm wondering about.

1. Will the chat engine have a right mouse button ability added so we can quickly blacklist gil farmer spam?

2. Will there be a reworking of how hotkey targeting currently works? For example say I'm a Summoner/Scholar and I've hotkeyed the ability to target my pet for an extra heal, then when I hit a key to retarget the Mob I was targeting it seems to target ones that are either the furthest away and/or have no aggro towards me. This can make FATEs a major PITA. Could we have a setting for "always target attacking Mob first" or "always target closest Mob first"

3. Will there be an expansion on the number of non repeatable quests? While farming FATEs are fine and Levequests help, but when you consider how much potential leveling all the JOB and classes add both can start to feel grindy after a while. More story based quests would be great. As well increasing the exp rewarded for Levequests would help.

4. Will there be more single Mob FATEs added? As it stands class/JOBs that don't have too many instant or AoE abilities can't really do much when a FATE has attracted a large group. With my Sum, Sch, or Arc I just spam my instant DoTs, which isn't really any fun and does seem to PO some other players.

Lots of gil is going to be sent via Mog Mail from Free Company members to make Guild Housing possible. I worry that our accounts might be considered gil sellers if that much money is moved.

Will the Free Company Bank allow "Deposit Only" by the time housing is released, and will we finally be able to see who takes items/money out of the bank?
