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

[Bluplanet]

Please consider adding a new Aetheryte at Red Rooster Stead.

Why? There is only one Aetheryte in the Lower La Noscea zone that that is at Moraby Drydocks.

In comparison, at Western La Noscea there are two Aetherytes: Swiftperch and Aleport.


P.S. There are probably other zones which could use an additional Aetheryte, I just can think of them at the moment.

Dear Yoshida, will you consider to add dhalmels in ARR in a future patch or expansion?

Can we get some information about BRD changes? We all know about WAR but what about us BARDS. If you gonna lower our DPS why not simply swap our LNC cross class abilities for CNJ so we atleast get cure, protect and stoneskin etc... back?

[Altanas]

Can we have zones which change structurally back and forth over the course of game days, opening up or restricting zone access for periods of time?

For example

a) creating walkways across Bronze Lake during one game day which disappear the next so we have to use the boat to get across as normal.

b) walking/island hopping to Pharos Sirius when the tide is out, and when the tide is in we take the boat as normal.

c) cause heavy snowstorms in Coerthas blocking normal routes while opening up other secret routes

d) allow walking from Vesper Bay to La Noscea by a subterranean tunnel zone which rotates between opened up and flooded

[Altanas]

Also can we see ingame changes to reflect changes in the atmosphere of zones between day/night or good/bad weather.

There should be a reason to get back to camp during a heavy thunderstorm or to avoid the wilds at night time.

[Altanas]

Can we have multiple open world phasing/fake-instances of FATEs so you only have say 2 parties worth of players at a time per phase/instance within the catchment area of the FATE battlefield (i.e. Behemoth FATE-A, B, C; 2 parties in each sub instance).

[Aramis]

Can you make the Free Company Crest visible to all players and not just the player?

[JackHunter]

Will Mythology and philosophy sets, allagan, unique, and and other armors ever become dyeable? If so is there an expected date?

Will item inventory and armoury chest have a sorting feature implemented at anytime in the future or possibly this patch?

As new higher end gear becomes available and new content such as new raids and dungeons show up will crafters see more recipes being brought into the game?

[Nofacekiller]

Will the endgame content continue to be purely in the form of raids and dungeons? Do you plan on adding any other options like the ones we saw in FFXI (with modifications to suit FFXIV)?


Also, are there any plans to add traditional experience point parties? I really miss exploring with my friends and cooperating to kill monsters, particularly in the diverse areas of FFXI. I feel that adding this as an option would increase the variety and fun of the game, especially for players who have played other MMOs that require vast amounts of questing and dungeon grinding.


Sorry to talk about FFXI so much, I know you are trying to run your own game, but I feel that there are good things in FFXI that you could borrow from.

[warren-ragnarok]

with the current listed changes to warrior, and fear that some of the changes may cause people to prefer war over pld, is there any specific changes in the works to balance pld as a single target tank (assuming thats its purpose)
as well, is there any plans to release any additonal job branches in 2.1? (like a dps job for gladiator or warrior, a tank job for lnc, dps for arch{since brd is technically support} to allow more flexibility)
