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

[Silverghost]

I heard a rumor that there are plans to make crafting unimportant for the end game.
Is this true?

1) Will you make crafting more viable for the market as a whole with making the materials harder to come by for endgame crafted gear?

2) Will you make (Penta Melded) crafting gear very slightly better than some of the end game (coil) gear such as new 2.2 patch recipes that when slotted with 5 of the best materia are better than the Turn 6-9 gear but not better than Turn 10.

3) Will there be Grade V materia added? Maybe only dropping from Turn 6 - Turn 10 coil or from Spirit Bonding and converting Turn 6 - Turn 10 gear?

Will we be able to control our jumps more instead of having only two jump choices: walking jump and running jumps?
(I'd like to be able forward jumps from a standing position, not walking or running)

When can we expect more Fantasia potions, this is a very popular discussion on the boards.

Thanks.

Will you be adding a feature where materia increase the item level of pieces of equipment?

[Johnist]

Will 2.2 be released before the Official Launch of the PS4 edition?

[Espon]

Will we ever see Materia slots on gear that drops from bosses to allow for a bit of customization, even if it's not possible to overmeld these?

[Arkista]

Any plans to add content that doesn't have a daily/weekly or Gil lockout?

One can go from level 1-50 quickly, especially craft jobs. A relic can be completed in a few hours. Why is game progress so fast compared to 1.0?

The player market suffers because dungeon drops out-scale crafted items. When will you give us something worthwhile to buy/sell?

Currently enemy attack animations happen a second or two after their ability is done casting and targets are determined, creating an illusion where spells hit you long after you've moved out of the way.

Will anything be done to synchronize this so that the effects and attack animation hits right as the ability is done casting?
For example: Titan's fist slamming into the ground and knocking people back right as the danger zone is disappearing instead of 1 second later.
