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

[PreetWilson]

11.* Can we have our own ships? Can we PvP or PvE on the water using the ships?
12.* When will have our own air ships? Will we have a chance to utilize them in battle PvP or PvE? Can you give a air gliders?
13.* Can you give us mounts that would be capable of inviting another player to ride on our mounts with us so we can give people lifts?
14.* Will you be adding new major cities and areas accompanying to refresh the scenery them than just the three (gridania, ul’dah, lima lominsa) we have now?
15.* Can you give the ability to dive underwater and do underwater treasure hunting? Can you make a diver class? Can you make underwater areas?

[PreetWilson]

Ugh..Sorry about all the aestricks...I'm not sure what happened but I did not put them in.

Will this patch have an item to reset chocobo skill points spent?

Will crafting play a more important role end-game (i90+) aside from food?

[Garlenthesam]

I've been on this game for awhile and I have reached endgame pretty quickly, and most of us are becoming bored.

1) Will we be seeing classes like samurai, ninja, dark knight, bluemage, and pirate(corsair) making a return to an ff online game?

2) Will there be additional and useful weaponskills for combat jobs/classes?

3) Will there be an actually usage for having the ability to jump in this game for perhaps to jump over gaps in a dungeon and as a way to dodge enemy attacks on the ground

4) Will we have the ability to equip sub weapons for usage in battle?

5) Will there be an implementation of rare materia that could perhaps give the player access to special abilities and or enhance the weapon (ex: equipping a level 4 water materia to a weapon to give the player the "waterstrike")

6) Will there be an implementation of chocobo raising in Final Fantasy 11 and an enhanced implementation of chocobo racing?

[Akujin]

I'm sure it's probably already been asked, just to be sure.

Do we have an expected arrival/release date for this patch? I'm assuming the team wants to stick to a 3 month rotation on big patches, which would put 2.2 mid-March, which isn't bad.

[Illiad]

Regarding player equipment, have you considered the implementation of a system similar to the Equipment skills and AP from FFIX tied to specific weapon or armor types for deeper character progression?

[Rtothef]

Could we possibly see Red Mage as a future Job?
Would it function as a melee spell caster with support skills similar to bard?
And if so, would it be a Job for Thaumaturge or perhaps another new class, such as Fencer?

[Balfreid]

I did not take the time too look through all the questions. But will you be offering Bottles of Fantasia anytime soon through the Mog Station? It would honestly sell like hot cakes and put more money towards the development of the game. I would like to see this happen! (And before anyone starts to complain like they always do, Bottles of Fantasia in NO way effect the gameplay of the game and do not give an unfair advantage to anyone. )

[Balfreid]

Also, will we have a Pirate class EVER? *cough* Muskateer *cough* I want to drink lots of rum and shoot things already! YOHOHO

[Zedine]

Can we get more answers regarding Hybrid Role which was in the Famitsu Interview?

" Yes, we want to make sure that there is space in the party for at least two people of each role. 4-6 players is a number which has been used frequently in recent MMOs, but I stuck with the figure of eight people since back in the design stage for the aforementioned reasons. You can have two each of healer and tank and four DPS in the present situation. Once we add the hybrid role (which serves multiple roles), you'll be able to have two players from each role, for a total of 8 people."

Will bard be changed to Hybrid?
What is the Next Hybrid Role being planned?

What types of Hybrids would there be? DPS/TANK? TANK/Healer? Healer/DPS?
