Previously you had stated that Free Company housing would have a crafting station where multiple people could craft together on one item, you mentioned a airship as one of those items. That the players in the Free company could use.

How exactly will the FC airship be used? Will it be used to go to the different docks in the three regions, or will the players have free control over the airship? more or so like how flying mounts are used in such games as World of warcraft?

If the later is the case, would the world of Eorzea be changed upon to accompany free flying airships? such as all regions are connected as one, with background loading and no loading screens?

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

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.

Are there any plans to add free roaming Notorious Monsters that are not in a Fate? This would make the world seem somewhat alive and give people a reason to explore...at the moment the world looks beautiful but has no depth adding normal party play without fates and reason to explore would be nice, the world is lovely but its so empty...would be nice to feel a sense of adventure.

As a crafter I find little incentive to craft my own equipment when I can easily get Tomes to get equivalent or better equipment. Will there be adjustments made to make crafted equipment for non-PVP a viable alternative to Tomes.

[Asiaine]

I love material, and I love the idea of enhancing my equipment. But the restrictions on material enhancement or so great that it's not cost effective compared to Tome equipment. Will there be plans to adjust Materia handling to allow more powerful *or* more diversified equipment?

[Asiaine]

The rate of progression for weapons/equipment is very dull. There's an obvious: GC -> Ifrit -> Garuda -> Titan -> Relic upgrade path where each is better than before. Also, getting a Relic is so easy it negates the need to worry about any other weapon. Will there be greater diversity to weapons such that it is not simply Weapon X is better than Y for all purposes. In fact, Weapon X is sometimes worse than Y for certain situations?

[Asiaine]

So far Battle Strategy is all patterns based. Memorize the pattern and you can easily defeat any boss. Any plans to make boss fights not pattern based, so lots of improvising is needed during battle?

I've seen the Musketeers guild in Limsa Lominsa, or rather what was SUPPOSED to be the musketeers guild, so given that their guild is already set up, when can we expect the actual class? And what job will be evolved from it? (i.e. Lancer to Dragoon) Also are you planning to add any other classes anytime soon? If so, what classes and when?
