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.

tldr;

any new crafting recipies for weapons/armor, specifically?

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?

I just got a PS4 today.....should be able to play this now. Its not good on the PS3 which I am sure your more then aware of, crashes, high level fates cant even see enemies until they are dead, cant properly load anything in a reasonable time. With these issues this should have been prepared for the PS4 sooner. Much sooner. Waiting all the way until the end of Feb just for Japan to get the system is senseless. Let America beta test is if anything so its ready for them instead of punishing us and making us wait.

Will solo players always be at a serious disadvantage compared to group players?

Note: I don\\'t get to do HM content often and even after a ridiculous amount of tries spanned over a couple months, still no drop. In short...I don\\'t have time to dedicate myself to spamming end-game content as much as others. My drop rates aren\\\'t helping either on chances I do get to do the content. There\\'s inadequate open world content and less valued rewards for solo players(Company gear sucks), there are no solo quests that are remotely rewarding in goodies, everyone doesn\\'t like crafting, the list goes on.

I get a terrible feeling that solo players will never recieve good rewards for our efforts like group content spammers and pvp participants will recieve. I\\\\\\'d much rather have super hard solo content that dish out rewards just as remarkable as group content. I\\\\\\'m tired of being locked out of end-game and trying to pass elistist test standards.

There are going to be a lot of players in PvP with coil gear. As a crafter, are there new armors that we can make that will take us past item level 70 with this update so that materia slotted gear can be competitive against coil gear?
