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

[guardin]

can we add a rival or a best friend in the storyline with an emotional level like sora and riku from kingdom hearts?

[guardin]

can we have a wall run and dodge mechanics added to gameplay?

[guardin]

can we have more character and clothes designs from the creator of kingdom hearts?

[ruskie]

There are some great story points in the game - like after Titan battle where the Scions get kidnapped, the build up to Garuda and the Ultima reveal. Can we expect more such strong emotional impact - everything from after Titan to the Ultima reveal was great in terms of the main story. I'd like to see more of such story.

In 1.0, when we first saw the Ascians, they were in a "bestial Ascian" form. This was a cutscene somewhere in Thanalan, and they looked like demonic grim reapers and all the Beast Tribes ran away in fear. Will we ever see this form again, or get to fight it?

[Spiral]

One of the first live events for XIV was an exploration of Sil'dih Aqueduct systems, the sister city of Ul'dah that fell to an unknown demise when attempting to resurrect the dead for their army. A mirage of the city was shown at the end of the event, and ever since we've never revisited the topic - the aqueducts were forever locked off the map in copper bell mines. In 2.0, I was personally excited to see on the map the "Sil'dih Excavation Site." Will the lore and topics surrounding this city be resurfaced anytime soon, and could this possibly become a dungeon later?

[Spiral]

Along the same lines as the Sil'dih, the Gelmorra group from Gridania also have various architectures featured throughout the Black Shroud, including dungeons and underground passages, and also an enormous pit that is now filled in in 2.0, but the architecture is still there. Will we learn more about this group as well?

[Cutriss]

Will we ever be able to return to Western Tinolqa? Gridania used to have a direct connection to Mor Dhona, but now with half of Mor Dhona "missing" (including Camp Brittle Bark), it's never clearly stated if this area was destroyed in the Calamity. Crimson Bark was there, and I had hoped that with the return of Thornmarch that we might be able to visit Turning Leaf again, but since Thornmarch is now tied to East Tinolqa, is there a future in Western Tinolqa or is it (and southern Mor Dhona) permanently gone?

Also, will we soon learn the fate of Falcon's Nest and Owl's Nest and the other surrounding regions of Coerthas Central Highlands? If Coerthas Central Lowlands is ever restored, will it be "stitched in" between Coerthas Central Highlands/Mor Dhona/Northern Shroud?

[Cutriss]

Will the Wood Wailers/woodsin plotlines of 1.0 make a return at any point?

[Aleo]

Are there any plans to add new job specific quests that help players better understand their skills/abilites and become more confident in those roles.
