Thread: Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XI! (Various Other 2.1 Content)

The current Disciple of the Hand abilities: Brand of X (i.e. X being Earth, Fire, Ice, Lightning, Water, or Wind) only affects a very small selection of items (e.g. Brand of Water only affects Vintage Picatrix - Aspect: Water).

Can we expect better use for these Brand of X abilities?
Will they be extended to a wider range of existing items? (e.g. Brand of Lightning usable for crafts involving Lightning Shards/Crystals/Clusters)?

Do you have any plans to reduce the amount of time DPS wait in Queue waiting for dungeons? (45+ mins queue times across all languages and servers is a long time to wait for a 30-40min dungeon run)

The current Potions (e.g. Potion of Mind/Vitality/Intelligence/etc, Elemental Resistance Potions, etc) have a very short duration of 15 seconds and an extremely high cooldown of 5 minutes, making them impractical for actual use.

Will there be changes to the duration and cool-downs for these potions to make them viable?

Will there be additional Grand Company Rank Promotions and Quests?

I've memorized a good portion of enemies' attack patterns/abilities and solely rely on memorization alone to avoid things, though it can often make it difficult for me to focus on other aspects of battle and rarely, tire me out.

May players receive the option to alter the color and intensity of the AoE indicators? It would certainly help out a good number of players and immensely.

Red can be a difficult color to spot in most environments.

I am colorblind as-well, and Red is one of the harder colors for me to see especially on some of the environments. Please let us select the color and intensity in the menu, pretty please

This. I wish someone would just give us a date. I started with 5000 gil and a level 8 lancer. If I knew I was going to be stuck I would have just created a new character.

I love the world, it is very interesting to explore, but for the leveling and the endgame player, the world feels very safe. There is nothing dangerous to fear, no monsters I am worried I can not escape from. As long as I am within 2-3 levels of a monster I know I will win the fight every time.

Many games have "Elite" monsters that are slightly stronger than others, making one consider them when travelling. This can increase the challenge for the solo player looking to test their skills in the field, or for weaker or lower level players to go with a friend or two as companions. I do not wish for parties to be mandatory everywhere, but it would be nice if you could maybe make bringing a friend feel more important?

Right now, there is no challenge. You can ride your chocobo anywhere safely. Will more challenging, smarter monsters appear in the open world? Especially the Beastmen zones?

The players are stronger than you think! Please treat us respectfully! We are powerful!

i look everywhere and cant get any info but it was stated at one point and has been talked about so when is it being implemented and whats it about? likei know the basis but is there buffs i heard there is tp to your mate but...like when is it? and will there be a cool marriage cinematic?
