Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part X! (General Questions)

[Luciano_Bozzelli]

Do you plan on having locations like FFXI's Sky and Sea? Locations that are open to all with Gods, pops, and such that you can only enter after finishing storyline completely?

Will 2.1 feature the primals in the field battle? Where our free companies can claim them, capture them, and use them in battle? I heard about this from one of your letters but couldn't remember when it would be released.

What is the point of a Free Company alliance? Usually FCs rather compete with each or don't care about each other at all, so what is the benefit here?

[Estellios]

Have the devs given any thought into eliminating or changing the lockouts in The Binding Coil of Bahamut so it is less stressful to run it with a smaller FC?

[Lintoh]

will there be a way to change sound output from within the game?

as of now you have to quit the game to change where the sound comes out,

[ShinkuTachi]

Will something be done to change the currently tedious grind of farming shards for crafting?

Such as, being able to use alchemy on fish to obtain shards; and being able to break clusters down to crystals and crystals down to shards.

Another possible solution could be, decreasing the GP cost of Elemental Ward abilities; or to allow a single 'Ward' ability to be active indefinitely, until you switch to a different 'Ward' or deactivate it yourself.

Another suggestion could be to allow GP to fully regenerate (like CP for crafting classes) after you detach yourself from a mining or botany point; however, to keep this from being exploited, if you detach yourself from a point you have already started on but have not completed, the point will disappear as if you had completed it and you must move to the next one.

Here is another suggestion. A HQ percentage could be added to shards depending on the players perception. If a player hits for HQ on a swing, the player acquires multiple shards for that swing.

Will you be introduction trophies, drop from completing a dungeon, to be hung by the walls in player housing?

[Psycnosis]

Why are you not taking care of obvious bots? We are on Lich and theres a bot at the Banemites and its been there for weeks almost 24/7. Countless people reported it by ticket, website and even by phone. yet that bot is still there.

The real question is really why wont you just allow us to use TPP if you are not going to do anything about the people who use it and ruin the markets with them? This way it would at least be an even and the people that violate the rules wont have an advantage anymore.

Please introduce a few racial emotes, different for each race and gender.

Please introduce a few idling emotes, different for each race and gender.

Please introduce an emote that involves the character's type of weapon, different for each weapon type, race, and gender.

Please introduce Job Emotes like FFXI, but with all-due beauty and technical/artistic guile. All jobs can always use a little foreboding and presence- definitely presence.
