Storyline:

"In regards to the main storyline..."

• Will more be done with the power of the 'Echo'?

Grand Companies:

"In regards to the Grand Companies..."

• Will we, once we all have to choose a faction, still be able to do things within our faction with other Linkshell members? Even if they have chosen a different company?
  
  (If I am not mistaken, although companies operate separately, they all have similar goals to protect Eorzea from the oncoming and unknown threat. They should still be working together with that piece of lore, correct? Basically, does an entire LS have to join with a company in order to enjoy the content of that company in a group environment?)
  
  
• What sort of things will be available for purchase with the company currency?
  
  
• Will their be company quests for all different classes and levels of players?

Dungeons:

• Will there be a limit on how many times you may challenge a dungeon within a preset amount of time?
  
  
• Will it be necessary to have adequate group dynamics in your party to complete the dungeon? (Will jobs be required to make it through the content?)
  
  
• If a player disconnects during a dungeon, will the party be able to continue on without a player? (Seeing as how it's slotted for strictly 4 players or 8 players, it's a concern.)

Quest Hubs:

"In regards to the future Quest Hubs..."

• Will these simply be a new camp of sorts?
  
  
• Will they have any significance to the storyline?
  
  
• What is their main purpose for players?

Tribal Encampments:

"In regards to the Beast Tribe Encampments..."



Side Quests and Task Board:

"In regards to in game Side Quests and Task Board quests..."

• Are the rewards for these quests being looked into?
  
  (Better rewards, more incentive to do them.)
  
  
• Will cut-scenes or voice acting ever be added to the side quests?
  
  (They typically have good lore, but it's a little dull to simply: talk to npc > go to point A > complete objective > talk to npc > get mediocre reward and a bit of lore.)
  

Events:

"In regards to in-game Events.."





Lore:

"In regards to Final Fantasy XIV Lore..."

• [Slot Costs] Are there any plans to remove slot costs for accessories?
  
  
• [Gear] In regards to cowls and head wear, are there any plans to allow a character's hair to show through their headpiece instead of it no longer being visible?
  
  (Some gear does allow it to come through, but some does not and it looks rather unpleasant. I particularly see this problem a lot with cowls.)
