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

Any plans to add gear with effects when you have enough pieces equipped? Like a full PLD set buffing a spell or reducing a cool down even?

Patch 2.1 and your response to housing prices has basically killed the economy on most servers. On legacy especially its becoming extremely hard to make the hundreds of millions asked for housing. My question is 2 parts. What is being done to fix the economy and markets? and would you please reconsider the type of information you give out in the future as it can have terrible effects on the in game economy.

What plans are there for FFXIV in regard to horizontal progression? The thing that made FFXI so great and gave it so much depth was because of the amount of content that came together to form this incredible horizontal progression system. I understand that FFXIV is more modern and is currently on track to follow a more common vertical progression model, however I am hoping FFXI's amazing horizontal progression is not forgotten. What can you tell us about horizontal progression in the future of FFXIV?

I understand that any changes to classes/jobs other then certain adjustments will mostly likely not be added in 2.? patches, so we will not see a pet being added to the Dragoon class, but would it be possible to get a minion that resembles the Wyvern from FFXI?

I know several things have already been said about what is coming in patch 2.2, such as 1.5x more story quests then in 2.1, etc. but how big can we expect this next patch to be, in terms of 2.1?

Regarding AF2 armor: How can we obtain these? Will they be from a quest (allbeit a difficult quest I hope) or will they be purchasable with a new Tomestone currency?

Gear in FFXIV for the most part has been part of a set. Full Darklight, Full Artifact, etc. Will we eventually see a stand alone piece of gear? Gear like Leaping Boots and Emperor Hairpin from FFXI come to mind.

Can we also have more content like Besieged and Campaign?
Perhaps if players did enough quests and gained enough rep, the city leaders and other important NPCs could fight alongside us- and naturally they would be pretty awesome in their own right.


Also, can we have the ability to set titles upon fc members that are separate from the fc ranks?

Would you be able to make it so our action bar/cross bar and armor sets could be saved server side....I use a laptop when with my GF on dates a desktop at home and on occasion my PS3(Soon to be PS4) to play and having to set it all up every time does get kind of old.

Can we expect information about classes being a base to jobs in the future? Like how Arcanist has two jobs coming out of it, do you intend to give other classes the same behavior?

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?

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.

[silentwindfr]

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?
