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

[Kuwaitum]

Regarding Character Creation:

Q1: Would you implant a choice for body build (Bulky to Skinny) similar to choosing height of character? Since now almost all characters (of same race and gender) have similar physique.

Q2: Will there be any additions and variations for facial hair styles for male characters like: Stubble, mustache, and French cut goatee? Hyur male need another choice of mustache and male miqo’tes need more options than only a one-style of goatee.

Q3: Would we choose our character to be left or right handed in the near future?

Regarding Disciplines of Magic Classes/Jobs:

Q1: Will there be any increase in Magic Classes/Jobs such as Sage (Red Mage) and/or Gun Mage (Blue Mage)?

Q2: Will we be seeing “Petrify” magic being used by that could be cured by casting “Esuna” or using a “Gold Needle”?

Will we ever be allowed to zone into dungeons without the use of Duty Finder, and so, without a full group?

I've healed every dungeon up to, and including Ifrit.. as a Black Mage, with only 2 others because of people leaving DF. It's a good challenge. Requiring 4 people is overrated.

1) After Sony's announcement of project Morpheus this week will we see a version or patch to support this amazing new accessory ?

2) With the recent launch of the Final Fantasy X HD remaster it got me thinking could we ever see blitzball come to FFXIV as a pvp sport?

3) How are the DirectX 11 improvements to the game looking?

Will the city-states, towns, camps, ever have voice acting for all the NPCs like in Guild Wars 2? I find it brings the game to life.

Will we subsequently get to see some in-game quests about the Warriors of Light NPCs? I'm referring to the six of them that are always shown in the main opening cutscenes and promo posters. Even after all this time, I still think its interesting that the missing male Elezen (from the old 1.0 cutscenes) is unaccounted for... plus, the Hume male Warrior is still missing his Bravura and helmet, right?

Thanks as always for all the phenomenal work

Hello everyone,

Currently, the PC version of FF XIV - ARR uses standardized APIs DirectX 9.x According to Naoki Yoshida, the output of the PS4 version of FF XIV - OFF, the PC version will use the standardized API DirectX 11.x

In parallel with DirectX 11.x is that Naoki Yoshida plans to increase FF XIV - ARR on AMD Mantle * APIs as do your fellow SQUARE ENIX Montreal in partnership with AMD for their game Thief?


* AMD Mantle may allow maximum optimization with graphics cards of the HD 7000 series and newer

Can we hope to soon "linker" objects, equipment, quests, locations map, etc.. in the chat window?

Thank you in advance for the answers to these two questions.

Will there be improvements to the armoire? Or an expansion to it? Currently a lot of seasonal items still don't fit. And there are players (like me) who like to collect gear, mainly unique and untradable. Would be nice to fit those into the armoire rather than waste retainer space for it.

Regarding Duties & Dungeons:

Q1: Are there any plans to set up duties for parties consisted from same class/job group (all-magic / all-tank / all-DPS)?

Q2: In random duty finder; could we have a bonus (like +1%) for having an: (all-male / all-female / all-same-race / total-diversity) parties?

Q3: Could we have a Dream-dungeon that is extremely rare to encounter that only can be got when logging-out using the bed (inn-room)?
