Ask Your Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part IX!

Mannequins were notoriously difficult to obtain in FFXI. Will you be making it easier to get one in ARR?

[Choyi]

What are your plans to increase server stability and reduce latency problems?

The game suffers from constant lagg spikes, 1.0 levels of delay on actions at times, especialy for european players the game is borderline unplayable at times, for alot of players the game is not enjoyable in is current state due to masive latency issues.

Will two-story housing have an option for a balcony? It would be nice to watch the sunrise from our house.

Are there any plans to add in another Disciple of Land class that focuses on getting meat, hides and other "none gatherable monster drop only items" such as webs and sinews?

Their is classes for that its all the fighting classes.

As for questions are you going to fix the log out animation in the inn. where your character lies down and then gets back up just before the screen cuts out.

Also are DoL and DoH classes going to get a proper artefact set like the DoW and DoM get. Abilities for fisherman using tp will we get these.
Also will you be reducing the cost for TP moves on Miner and Botanist 400 is a bit steep.

What other content do you have planned for Free Companies in the future?

What do you think of a quest maker for the free company housing. This would allow company members to design quests for fellow members to challenge and earn rewards.

How will (crafting) buffs work in housing? Is it item based or location based?

Example:

• You place Cooking furniture. You gain bonus to Culinarian quality/experience.

OR

• You cook in the kitchen. It grants quality/experience bonus for Culinarian.

I especially liked some of the Advanced Jobs in FFXI, such as Samurai Dark Knight, Corsair and Blue Mage. When can we expect there to be new jobs in FFXIV:ARR?

Also, I like when characters gear can look unique, and noticed that most High Level gear right now all looks the same, as you cannot dye it. I'd like to know if there will possibly be gear that you could craft that may rival the top gear in the game, and also when we can expect some vanity slots and items for those slots, so our characters can look more unique. Right now I am a lvl 50 Monk, so I look like every other Monk!

Will your own house and FC house count as a Sanctuary?

Will there be a quick way to access your house, perhaps the possibility to purchase and place an Aetheryte crystal to keep in your FC or personal house so you can get there quickly?

[Reih]

With Final Fantasy one of the aspects of the game is focused on the job system. So my question here is not if there's a plan to add new jobs, because that will eventually happen, but when will this happen? What kind of new classes and jobs can we expect in the foreseeable future?

Question 1: After making loyal final fantasy fans sit thru this mockery of a final fantasy title. Are there any plans to get to the roots of what makes a final fantasy game a "final fantasy" game in a new mmo geared to more strat based combat/hardcore or non amusement park?
