I think it has been said that this will be coming in 2.3 most likely? Don't have a source just at this moment though.

Who's? The poster that responded to me? Or Yoshi-P's? Because my quote was directly from Yoshi in a live letter.

How about Chocobo raising? possible in 2.2?

[0:56:38]
Q: Please tell us more about chocobo raising.
A: We'll first release the housing system, and once it's implemented, we will introduce the chocobo stable which can be placed in your yard. Once you place a chocobo stable in your yard, you can raise a chocobo.

In version 1.0, personal chocobos obtained through the grand companies were all male. However, in A Realm Reborn, you will be able to breed and also raise chocobos.

How about additions to our retainers?

Q: Could you give us some details about retainers? Will you be able to order them to gather materials? Will it be possible to change their appearance when you hire them? What about changing the name and race of our existing retainers?
A: The retainer’s role of selling goods and storing items for you will not change. In the future, we plan to add features that let retainers do other things for you as well, such as gathering. In essence, we want your retainer to seem more human, as if it were a real character.

You'll be able to keep their names, but we will be preparing a re-hiring flag, which will allow retainers previously released from service to be re-hired. Since retainer names are unique, there may be cases where names will overlap, making it necessary to re-name them.

Also, first expansion was projected as probably 2 years from launch, not 1 year:

Q: This might be a bit early to ask, but do you have any plans for expansions?
A: As mentioned earlier, we'd like to add additional races. We'd also like to add new areas and continue the game's main story. We plan to release the first expansion within two years of the release.
