Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XII! (Assitant Director Takai)

Thanks for the crossover events! The current FFXI event with Shantotto is fun and nostalgic. I enjoyed the Dragon Quest event as well. The Brickman minion, Thug's Mug and ... 'other' rewards were well worth it! However, when I think 'Dragon Quest', the first thing to mind isn't 'Brickman', it's 'Slime'. It felt like a missed opportunity! Is there a chance we might see another DQ crossover event with Slime based rewards in the future?

We have been told both that a level cap increase would come at the same time as new classes, and that we could expect new classes before the first expansion. If both of these statements are accurate, it would mean that a level cap increase will come before the first expansion. What plans are there regarding new classes and the first level cap increase?

Will Arcanist or Summoner gain any new summons that are not egi versions of primals? Carbuncle is not an egi; is there any similar being that ACN or SMN might gain, for example Cait Sith?

[ToraoKoga]

In the next expansion can we expect current areas to be expanded?

[ToraoKoga]

Also can expect more unique animations for each race in future patches like in XI?

With certain players deliberately playing badly during runs of Crystal Tower Part 1/Labyrinth of the Ancients as well as many other problems plaguing users attempting to complete the Raid properly, will players be given more control or at least the ability to set up all three alliances before queueing for Crystal Tower soon?

[ToraoKoga]

Would you consider doubling the size each and every area? It kinda feels small at some parts.

[ToraoKoga]

Also will you make enemies more threatening like in ffXI?

Will endgame raiding for 24 players always focus on three full parties with 6 tanks, 6 healers and 12 DPS, or will certain content move away from that to allow other compositions (ex: 3 tanks, 5 healers, 16 DPS)?

Are there plans to add the option to requeue for a dungeon with a duty finder group inside a dungeon? (Example: I queued up and met some fun people to do Amdapor Keep with. The four of us would requeue for another dungeon together after killing the last boss in AK, thus going to another dungeon with our party intact)
