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

[MsKirsten]

Will there be any higher iLV crafting gears like Vanya and Astral to accommodate the higher over iLV 90 introduced in patch 2.2? I felt that these items will rendered useless once most people can obtain iLv 90 gears and there won't be any incentives to level crafting. If not, will you then consider increasing these iLV gears over 70 according to materias melded onto them. That way at least it can be on par with iLV 80 or even 90 since currently they are stuck on iLV 70 with or without materias. Thanx for your time

Do you have any plans for having matera slots in high ilvl coil 6-9 gear or the new tombstone gear? Seems like the matera system is mostly underutilized since it can't be used with highest ilvl gear.

As Grade IV Materia cannot be placed into gear lower than ilvl 55, and we've already been given Grade 5 Carbon Matters as a main story quest reward.....

What will be the minimum ilvl for gear to use the new Grade V material?

[XanderOlivieri]

With the main story pushing further into Ascian plots, Will we get Ascian styled Armor anytime soon? Felt more appropriate to post armor related question in the iLevel section since it would be of a higher iLevel than current sets.

Will you consider introducing Gear with Long Term Goals; something that players can work towards for more than a few days, and that will also be relevant for more than 1 major patch?

(Sort of a like a more manageable version of the original Final Fantasy concept of "Relics".)

Thanks!

I just want Relic to get it to +2 with new tomestone, as well to AF +2 too.

Ilevel values are already rather high so early in the game's lifespan, do you plan on allowing it to continue into the 100's, 200's, 300's in a short time or do you have different plans for gear progression?

This gonna be more of WoW-alike lol.

[Veritas-Ancora]

Can you please make Coil gear a higher ilvl?

A player who grinds mythology tomes one day per week should not be equal to a player who is taking down Twintania. Please don't repeat this in 2.2!

Do you plan to add item level increase because of materia melding on equipement ?
