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

[kiraan]

Will you add enhance/augment abilities or traits items in patch 2.2 or beyond?

[Tigerme]

any chance to make a real international server for players who want to play with people that come from different countries ?
currently most Japanese players in my server are discriminating players who don't speak Japanese or not Japanese.
not sure about NA server, but i guess this is happening everywhere.
Thus, i think an international server might be a good idea....

[Hitagi_Hanekawa]

Do you have any plans to make chocobo companion related quest/duty/fight?

[Saiyakupo]

May I draw pictures on the walls and for the walls of my house?

[guardin]

will you add a dodge mechanic or a backflip to back dodging more fun and interactive.

[Noxander]

When will Hallowed Ground be fixed? Hitting the button, seeing the cool down start, and still taking damage and dying. With a 7min cool down, this really need to put the buff up the moment the button is pressed, not after animation and after cool down starts.

[guardin]

will there ever be more sad/emotional themes added to the game or weather specfic music?

[Anapingofness]

Is it possible to add a Ballista style pvp at some point in the future?

What are the plans to allow for crafting/gathering to become more active?
One idea is for DoL and DoH to "donate" items to city states to build up/fix the world. We keep hearing how much damage the Calamity has done and how much they've yet to rebuild and yet the crafters of the realm do nothing. That being said, would we eventually be able to see the fruits of our labor?
Will you be allowing DoH to specialize?
Currently the supply outweighs the demand. Specializing may help even things out a bit.

For the beastmen quests, will we be able to save any of the touched/tempered/etc beastmen?
What of the poor lonely Amalj'aa near the Burning Wall that hides from people- will he ever find the Brotherhood of Ash?

In future patches will the three city leaders have a more active role in the storylines? Will we see them kick butt? They do a lot of speeches for people who seem so hands on- this behavior is very contra Raubhan and our dear Admiral.

As someone mentioned earlier, is it possible to give the small houses either a basement or a second floor? Alternatively, is it possible to make the houses just a bit wider- as they are they just feel too tiny and practically claustrophobic.

Is it possible to patch CM cut scenes into a more uniform and presentable way? As they are the random cut scenes are not only jarring but they can cause problems if people activate them before a group is ready.
If patching CM is not possible, please take care when creating new content so that there isn't a repeat of CM.

When will all of the infernal clipping issues be taken care of?
Maybe I'm spoiled by FFXI and past FF titles but clipping was never a major issue. The clipping in XIV is a nightmare.

Are there any plans to address the distance required for close range DD before they can attack?
For example, a DRG and MNK have *very* different weapons yet they must both practically hump the mob in order to be "in range". It would make sense that the DRG wouldn't have to stand so close to the mob in order to execute its attack. Same goes for WAR. x.x;;;

Will you continue doing Live Letters after the XIVth letter?
I really hope that you do since it was your attitude and interaction with the fans that brought many of us back.

Will we be able to transport our Macros/Custom Interfaces/Saved Outfits between PS3, PC and then when it's released, PS4?

Final Fantasy is the first p2p game I played that implement stat point distribution, it's usually meant to be a trap in an f2p games (wrong distribution, imbalance character, cash shop reset item),

But from what i heard and from my personal experience (I'm not a theorycrafter, mind you), there's no single attributes that makes significant changes except VIT, so if the others are insignificant, and can be clearly wronged (I can distribute my 30 bonus point to INT as a tank) then why it's still there?

And also related: Do you have plans for further character development rather than this min-maxing number stuff?

I have wrote a (not so) full article of it if you're interested at http://eclipticalwhitemoon.blogspot....even-here.html
