I apolgize in advance for any repeats, I haven't had a chance to go through every post.

Here are some questions I had:

1) Frontlines (open world PvP). What is the status? Can we expect to see it any time soon?

2) Golden Saucer (casino). What is the status?

3) Weekly caps on unique untradeable items. What is the point of this? Any thought of removing said caps? I understand caps on dailies (gil generation) and leves (also gil generation)... I don't understand the point of limiting players from undertaking aspects of the game that grant them unique untradeable items. People who run a dungeon 100 times in a week to max every class are really only runing the game for themselves.

4) If caps won't be lifted, will the current issues that these caps are addressing be looked at? In particular, people getting "stuck" with CT gear from the final boss, because they couldn't exit the CS fast enough and click "pass".

5) Any plans for additional companions? And/or, any plans on making the Chocobo more useful than it currently is? (perhaps, bringing it in dungeons)

5a) I believe it was mentioned that the dev team is looking into ways to allow players to do more things while their Choco is summoned. (such as, remain in the Party Finder queue) Any progress/update on this?

6) FC Housing. I don't mind the pricing, but, is there any plan to offer any type of actual utility for housing (outside of placing vanity items)? The biggest problem with housing wasn't the price, it was asking people to part with that much gil in exchange for something that provided no utility. My FC has the gil to make the purchse, but, until there is a reason to do so, we're passing on housing. I think a lot of other FC's are in the same boat as us.

6a) Will size of house matter when it comes to beneifts that housing provides an FC? Will a small houses' bonuses be smaller/more limited than that of a medium or large? Or, will all sizes provide the same bonuses/upgradeables?

7) Personal Housing... any progress on this?



I know this was a lot and I don't expect everything to be answered. Thank you for reading and thank you in advance for any questions that do happen to be addressed. Loving the game!

Any plans to alleviate Mondays'/overall instance lag issues on the Primal data center?

[Dejectedbunny]

Are there any plans to give Whm the reraise spell and different healing stances (similar to those used in FFXI) in this game?

[Grefia]

Will we ever be able to craft in our Inn rooms? Tired of hiding in bushes to complete something uninterrupted.

[Zantetsuken]

Currently the materia, crafting and gathering markets are all stagnant due to the easy and rapid procurement of superior dungeon gear.

Are crafting, gathering, and materia intended to have a substantive role in creating end-game gear and weapons, or are those classes intended to serve as a past-time/mini-game for bored players?

[Andevom]

Will 2.2 see the fight against Gilgamesh, or is that planned for a later update?

Also, is there any new info on Typhon, who was teased in promo artwork awhile back?
