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

[Donomni]

Will you address the utterly bizarre positioning issues affecting a number of players on *both* PC and PS3 that's been around since at least the first PS3 beta?

This not only affects party members and other players, but even enemies and mobile NPCs(Including Chocobo Companions!).

It literally makes it hard as heck, or impossible in some cases, to tank or heal in parties. It's bad for melee DPS as well, but a bit less so compared to having essentially no tank or healer beyond self-targeted AoE abilities.

General:
Will there be more Emotes
--> EG: Partner-Emotes, Group-Emotes, diffrent types (sit 1 sit 2, sleep 1 sleep2 etc) so we can Interact more with eachother?

(EG:Like with lalafell, i don't want to poke between the legs of bigger races...)

General:
Is there a plan on increasing Macro Lines or Adding loop option or change it so, that it automatically waits for one skill to be finished and then start another or something like that?

"wait" line wastes a lot of space and 2.43 or something does'nt work. It's a bother to always change macros after getting more speed or something ~, or like for every level range cuz the gear get's synced~

General: Will there be improvements @ UI and like.. more user friendly?

- I miss a lot of options like filter options for market, inventar and bank slots~ search option maybe would be nice too (for retainer at least). Also the search option on market board is kinda... well, i want it so search everything, or do i have to use * for placeholder?
EG " * Potion " or something?
- I also miss the possibility to add the Egi/Pet skills/commands to the skillbars, eg, i want to be able to move my pet out of aoe's without havin to click 3times
- I think a lot more needs to be done about beeing more user friendly. Like the tooltips on items. it's already really confusing because there is no real system behind the crafting stuff. Sometimes ud have to use level 2 items on level 50, sometimes u only need something once and never again. So it would be nice if you could at least see like "items X - Carpenter, Alchemist, Blacksmith" so it makes it at least a bit easier to sort...

[Tyl]

General:
About Setting~
- Will there be an option to disable battle music, like there is one already to disable chocobo music?
- There are options to change the colors of names and Hp bars of others. Will there be FC added as an option?

General:

Do you plan on addressing Alchemy & Cooking crafted items and actually making them useful? EG: Extending the durations on potions > Making food stats better. Etc.

[Kisagami]

When will our companions from 1.0 return? (The NPC we bonded with who was given to us to assist with missions) also whatever happened to the Dia, Banish, Scourge and Stygian Spike spells from Thaumaturge? I miss my Umbral/Holy damage. ;_;

[Becken]

Not sure if this was asked:
Will the Path Companions or Hildibrand (the agent of inquiry and Inspector extraordinaire) make a return?

[DemandAPanda]

Q: Are there any plans to customize the glow effects on weapons? Namely: The ability to turn the glow on or off or make them less bright?

Side note: Thanks so much to Yoshi-P and all the others who work on the game for your continued efforts ^^/
