When will we get to build airships?

What gameplay role will they serve? I would be depressed if they are just an alternate house.

I have played MMOs for years, and always dreamed of being able to build an airship that my guild and I could ride around the world the way flying mounts in WoW work. I imagine it would result in a player city of airships docked above the clouds.

Also, will we be able to use airships in some kind of guild vs guild PVP system? It would be really cool to be able to fire cannons at other player airships!

Will the free upgrade from ps3 to ps4 be available for a limited time, or can we do the upgrade whenever we want?

When can we plan to see new classes and/or jobs?

[Lucipurr]

Please show us all the new Allagan armor and AF2. (You haven't shown SCH or PLD's AF2 yet)

[KihreNeko]

Can you provide any more details about Amdpor Township?

[Vespar]

Can you show off some new hairstyles?

Are there any plans to revert or change FATEs in 2.2?

After the change in 2.1 that reduced the exp they give and made them harder, no one really does them anymore. It used to be fast and efficient leveling a new job and/or character, but now since no one does them anymore, FATEs just don't get done, period. This makes the whole +50% FATE exp bonus for jobs under your highest leveled pointless since no one does them. This also leads to slow but steady decline in the amount of company credits that a Free Company has, since FATEs were the main way to obtain them before, and with the new Company Actions not only costing twice as much as before, but the ability to now have two on at once, leads to credits spent per 24-hour period practically being quadrupled, and when you can no longer efficiently gain said credits, that leads to a problem.

Will Nobuo Uematsu or Naoshi Mizuta contribute to the project more in the future?

[KihreNeko]

Since Coil Turn 3 (as well as the other four turns) will be accessible via the Duty Finder, and given Turn 3 currently gave no rewards, will rewards be added? If so, what will it be?

Do you think melee and their quirks with difficult positioning and incidental AOE is at all a problem currently whereas ranged (especially Bard) have far fewer mechanics to consider?

Currently a lot of fights remind me of the launch of a certain MMO's first expansion prior to a big patch, where the fights were doable with melee but at a toll on the rest of the group.
