Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XII! (General)

[Aaron_T]

After a while Final Fantasy 11 died. The version of 14 before this new release was a failure.
As a fan, I'm concerned. How do you plan to make sure this doesn't happen again?
Do I have to worry about the community dying out anytime soon due to other mmos?
Why does there seem to be a lack of marketing?

what do you think of the new trend of the no melee group that spread in every world of the game? don't you feel that something must be done for balance the melee/ranged dd in a really close futur?

[silentwindfr]

about the melee/ranged dd ratio into the group, actually most group will go with 1 brd for the ballads, 2 ranged and 1 melee dd. don't you feel is unfair for the melee to have only one spot in a group of 8 when ranged have 3 spot for them. what is your position about this? and we don't talk of the possibility but the fact that player follows this rules.

AF2 already exists, it's the Mythology JSE gear such as Valor gear for Paladins. That's likely AF3, not AF2.

The thing is, like Dovah mentioned above, the Myth Gear has never been classified as AF2. If you look at the new Bard Concept art, you can see that SE officially calls the new gear "AF2":

Can you give us an idea on when Summoners can summon the Primals themselves? It just feels silly that they can summon Ifrit, Titan, Garuda, etc in XI, but not XIV.

Will Good King Moggle Mog XII and Ultima Weapon get Extreme Modes as well?

If Leviathan gets an Egi, how will it be different from Ifrit and Garuda?

Are the Extreme Modes of Ifrit, Garuda, and Titan the last difficulty for them? I noticed compared to the pictures of the other difficulties these are colored.

Withdrawn.

Are there plans to implement equipped gear comparisons so that we can see the highlighted gear alongside our equipped gear?

I believe someone asked before, but are there plans to allow us console players to reduce the size of the life bars and character names in the game world?

Are there plans to allow us to share quests with party members as long as they are eligible for them?

Would you please add a Triple Triad of some sorts?

Thank you

My questions are thus:

1. Will we ever get vanity slots? Not everyone enjoys looking the same because they all wear the same gear and is quite boring in my opinion.

2. Inventory space. Will there be more?
2.a. Why can't I send any mail to my alts? It would really help with inventory management.

3. Why can't I have my vanity pet out when mounted and why is it [Tab] target-able, giving me an extra click in fights.

4. Any plans to remove at least some of the many numerous load screens? The world feels so very small when there're load screens everwhere. Even using the choco-taxi is a load screen.

5. Any plans to give a speed boost to summoned minions? I frequently have to stop my mount so my faerie or carbuncle can catch up or it'll despawn.

Any response to these giant threads (2 of which you closed down in a day for "being off topic" when one clearly wasnt and is now erased from existence now?

Miss thread: "old game was better"
Will we ever see any of the depth that was at the end of 1.0 or are we stuck with spam rotation > dodge fighting and ilevel linear gear climbs?

Will 2.2 allow us to redo our chocobo stats, or will there be other ways to receive the White Mage and other respective bardings?
