Mr. Yoshida,

I just want to thank you and your team for creating this absolutely enchanting game that I have invested A LOT of my free time in. I am enjoying myself immensely and currently plan on sticking with FFXIV: ARR for along time. With that being said, my question is about endgame content, the difficulty of endgame content, and the progression of endgame gear.

QUESTION: The big raid, Crystal Tower, that is being released in 2.1 is set to drop item level gear below the Binding Coil of Bahumut and is, by your own admission, easier than Coil. Are their any plans to release a larger, more difficult raid that contains a vertical or even a horizontal gear progression compared to Allagan gear from Coil in the near future? The fact that this new content is not going to pose a challenge to the most currently geared endgame raiders scares me.

This game deserves a large player base who enjoy challenges! Again, thank you for your hard work and dedication to your fan base!
