gathering in nature

[Kiara]

Here's one question dealing with a pressing topic:

Rather than eliminate useful +1 and +2 Items, are there any plans to address the *real* problem: Better Inventory Management? For example, a system that collapses the NQ and HQ versions of an Item under 1 "space" in your bag.

Because the main reason there are votes to remove +1 and +2 Items is purely because of space issues. But if you had a system that could "hide / collapse" all HQ versions under 1 single Heading Item, that'd eliminate this problem *and* keep the usefulness of +1 and +2 Items (which give variety to what you can create).

[Darry]

Just a few simple ones. Apologies if they've been asked in different wording already.

Will non-combat classes ever get something more useful for defending themselves than "rock throw," as well as actual roles in combat/action scenarios at all?

Will the non-combat classes be expanded to define their roles, like what is being planned for the combat classes currently?

[Drazzan]

Yay! Another Q&A, I hope my questions are okay ^~^

Will you be making Gathering Classes more collaborative with other Disciplines be it through quests or general partying?

Any changes planned to the current Gathering Formula we were told about?

Currently; Gathering SP is the lowest of all disciplines and together with Gathering Fatigue it makes it very difficult to level a Gathering Class. Any plans to increase SP?

Gathering is a great discipline; Will/When will we be getting more Gathering Classes?

Will any Levequests be implemented that solely rely on both Gathering and Crafting? Perhaps Leve-Materials that have to be gathered and then crafted. Obviously it will have to be beneficial to both parties.

What are YOUR personal plans, views and goals for Gathering Classes?

Hey gang, great suggestions thus far! We have one favor we'd like to ask and that's if you could you try and see if your question has been asked already. We're starting to see a lot of repeats! It'd really help us out and it would make sure we get all the original questions in.

Thank you <3

"Is there going to be jobs for gathering classes? If yes, how do you plan to implement this? and If no, why no jobs for gatherers?"

"How will chocobo's come into play while gathering? Will we be able to mount and unmount at anytime similar to WoW or once we get off the Chocobo will run away?"

I know that is a bit on/off topic but I am very curious about this aspect of the game.

they should count repeats as votes for that question in particular.

Lordy that won't ever happen on the internet. Maybe some thankless person will run through the thread and copypasta originals into a consolidation for the dev team. Agreed that popular questions should get priority and the...uh...well some questions are really out there. Better off not letting the Japanese people know we ask if we can have harnesses that spark and have rings near the...nevermind.

Don't ask that!

Edit: We can all go through the threads and "Like" the questions we like as a vote of popularity.

My question is

All items that can be gathered so far seem pretty common, will there be rare ores/logs/etc that can be crafted into great gear?

Serious question, isnt that the forum reps jobs? They have to make a list of question to give to the Dev team anyway, why not create that list at the top of this topic showing all the consolidated questions. Would clean up this topic and make their work easier down the line . . .

This all seems like an ad-hoc service that fans rarely ever get to enjoy--to see their specific questions commented on by an actual developer. We're always stuck reading the developers swinging at some pat, layman-experience interviewer's softball questions about the game. Never the tough or relevant questions.

We should do what we can to help out. Ish.
