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

To much World of Warcfart not enough Final Fantasy!!!!!!
Why is this so much like world of war craft. When a lot of player's wanted to see more of final fantasy 11. Such as the FF11 job classes /sub class flexibility so everyone has options and not feel like it's this way or no way and that fact there's no weapons skills/magic burst! Feels like Yoshi sold out to blizzard and did not try to take the best parts of 11 and run with it! I will say this the leveling in 14 is faster and I am happy for that so job!

Since the FFXIII event is about to kick off, are there any plans to implement other events incorporating other FF characters?

Any plans to expand FC content? Such as social events for FC members, like minigames that only members can compete in.

Any news on the chocobo barding? Any new mounts planned?

And I have to agree with other players, will vanity slots be implemented?

When will the Playstation 4 version of this game be ready/released?

[Alyeis]

1. Will swimming be added in the upcoming patch? If not please add soon!!
2. Please add a social marriage system to the game.
3. Are you planning to add anymore emotes in the future/ this patch?
-/lay and /sleep (not just doze) would be nice so you could lay down somewhere other than your bed
- make the /dance ongoing, or make a different one that is ongoing until you move
4. I would love it if alcoholic beverages were added to the game
5. Some sub race specific emotes would be pretty cool to see.
6. Can you make it so characters can also sit on tables and are not forced to sit in a chair?
7. Will you make it so the hoods on cowls can go down with the visor emote?

The current Binding Coil of Bahamut lockout system is causing some social issues. For instance, when one group of players defeats Turn One, none of those group members can help others in their Free Company battle Turn One later in the week. This causes the others to feel left out and excluded from high-level content.

Do you have any plans to revisit the Binding Coil lockout system? Will the same lockout system be used in other areas?

I want to second this. I'm a member of a small FC that's currently trying to clear Titan, and I'm very worried about what will happen once we get to Bahamut. We only have 12-14 active level 50s, and excluding many of them from FC activities for a whole week at a time just doesn't seem manageable.

I don't ask to be able to repeatedly run the same floor for loot, but please allow us to at least help other people through it, even for no reward at all.

1) What is expected longevity of ilvl90 and newly drop item in new content?
2) Since there is a Coil of Bahamut, and Crystal tower in the future, which drop all parts of gear. What is your plan for GC future?
- GC items right now it is next to useless apart from keeper hymn and exp manual.
- GC leves has no meaning at all.
3) Any plan for diversity of items in the future? Like original AF enchant abilities, or traits ? Right now gear progression is too linear and no meaning in them.
4) FATE / Dungeons change in the future? Right now people just spam FATEs as leveling method, resulting in 0 knowledge of their class at lv50, and make low level dungeons is abandonded. If this continue, why not just add ability to make lv50 automatically altogether since there is no point in learning while leveling anymore?
5) Any plan for implementation of 'Final Fantasy' uniqueness ? Such as, blunt, slash, pierce dmg bonus to each monsters family. Magic elements circle (strong and weak against). Diversity of aggro by sight, by sound, by magic, by HP detection? You used to have this but removed since late September.
6) Any plan to adjust some FATE encounter to force item spawn, conditioned, or something else? To make it more adventure like and have more meaning in map.
7) Any plan to make an adjustment change to Odin FATE? Right now he is unkillable if there are too many people as we can't target him.

Could you please bring back being able to convert fish into shards and crystals? That was a great way to get the alchemy luminary or lvl up in 1.0 and would save alot of time gathering for crafting also. It would also give fishing more of a purpose and more people might take up fishing.

[BarretWallace]

tldr;

any new crafting recipies for weapons/armor, specifically?

[RaijinkenXIII]

Will we able to reset our Chocobo's skill tree after reaching rank 10 without having to level it up all over again so we can get the barding from the other 2 skill trees?
