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

Are the cross class skill being reviewed?

There very good skills cross class, some are just fine and some others seem just useless.
Can you go in detail or explain the interest of:

Ruin for a Conjurer or Thaumaturge?
Hawk's Eye for a Arcanist / Thaumaturge?
Physicks for a Conjurer? (getting level 2 isn't long enough to need a healing spell)

There are others skills for other classes/jobs that don't work very well.

The result is that everyone take the same skills not much variety.

I have 2 questions. First what is on most peoples minds of course is Free Company Housing PRICE!! <3

Second question is have you considered an optional way of purchasing if this was not already your plan in the first place, for example in a previous letter it was stated....

In order to acquire a house, players must first raise the rank of their free company and obtain a Land Acquisition entitlement.

We were discussing the gathering of gil for free company housing and the idea came up that the free company housing and the land plot should be purchased with the free company credits/points, the same ones we use to purchase the free company housing buffs with.

This would free up the gil for members to use towards their personal housing when it is released. This way the larger and more active free companies would be able to attain the largest houses and give smaller free companies a reason to expand their numbers and something to strive towards. This would also encourage smaller free companies to grow or merge if they wished to have a larger free company house, thus supporting more community and working together. With the current state of duty finder and fate exp it does not have the dynamics it did in games such as ffxi and other mmo's where players worked more tightly together to help each other.

This is how we think it would be fair pricing

Pricing for large house and land = 2,000,000 credits
Pricing for medium house and land 1,000,000 credits
Pricing for small house and land 500,000 credits

I've heard some players complaining that the loot lockout system for the crystal tower might encourage players to leave a dungeon after they obtain their loot, and before completing the dungeon. Is there something that will be implemented to encourage or to keep players in the crystal tower until it is completed?

I've read that some people aren't happy with the one item a week loot system in crystal tower, but I feel that this system is going to be more rewarding than say, the coil of bahamut for example. We could technically guarantee ourselves one piece of loot from this dungeon each week, which I am really happy about. Do you feel that players will be more happy about this once we experience the content? As it stands there are a lot of ways to acquire new gear with patch 2.1.
