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

-Removal of Egis from being summon.
-Landslides reduce to 3 instead of 5.
-Enlarge availability of area for players to utilize.

I dont seriously see any difficulty in this boss. However, the server itself had rather bad latency at certain time and this causes players dying to landslides and land of weight. Players are dying too much to such issues that isnt what we see as difficulty but something that's flawed with the server's latency issue.
Does SE expects players to have some sort of super connection that had no latency issue to play?
Do we need to migrate to japan or next to yoshida's house to play ff14 to guarantee tapping into other contents with no issue ?
How can you play a game that had mechanics titled towards latency over others ?

Regarding housing: Will we be able to place our retainers(in poses(sitting, /changepose, etc) preferably) in our house?

Also, will they be able to tag along with us in the future? Like companions?

Would we ever see a type of "Battle" that can be prompted when a Powerful Fish appears when Fishing?

Like when something rare hooks onto your Rod, Battle Music plays and the Player can use Skills based on fishing techniques to try reel in the beast; Skills such as FF's 'LIBRA' to analyse the unknown fish's Class (possibly based on the Scale Type or Weight, etc.), "Pull" and "Hold" to calm and steadily pull in the Fish depending on its actions, and "Net" (Netting) and "Pierce" (Spearfishing) as alternative ways to attempt to capture the fish: costing GP to execute.

Using incorrect capturing skills against the mystery fish's Type would be "ineffective", and numerous bad moves would empty the GP gauge; causing the fish to escape.
LIBRA could display the Fish's Class to the player, hinting what kind of skill to use to capture, e.g. Netting it (a +20% capture attack) rather than Piercing (being -5%), etc.

I would like to know when Fantasia will be implemented and when Chocobo stat reallocation will be possible?

Can we have more Monsters and NPCs that are affected by the world around us?

The same way Foes "escape" when a FATE ends, could we have Beasts and NPCs that preform different actions dependent of varying situations? That way we get to see more of the lesser characters react to the changing world; as well as chances for rarer monsters to appear under certain conditions.
E.G.;

• Certain Thanalan Desert beasts burrow underground when Night falls, and a different set of Monsters appear in their place until sunrise.
• During hotter days at La Noscea, Tiny Mandragoras may travel in groups. If you Wave at one in the group it may Emote the player in return.
• Certain Black Shroud beasts sleep in the nearby cave-like pathways upon stormy weather, whilst others may become slightly debuffed due to the fear of Odin lurking around.
• If a blizzard is passing through Coerthas and Behemoth falls, some Snow Wolf Pups may occasionally howl, etc.

My question pertains to the glamour system, specifically for the Disciples of Magic, it if there will ever cross class glamour between magic users, as we have a limited selection of gear? Specifically my question is such:

Will the restriction on glamouring the Chasmere robes(dyable battlemage and acolyte varients) be lifted to allow all DoM to glamour them? I find in strange all can wear the base item but only healers can use the dyable acolyte and only dps can use the dyable battlemage.

Is there plans to add a calendar system or some type of event planner to the Free Company so that we can plan and organize events either in game or within the Lodestone? Being able to see upcoming events planned by a Free Company would be super useful for players without easy access to a PC where they're playing or haven't visited a particular Free Company's website that regularly.

I was reminded that there was a Cait Sith battle in XI - any chances that we will be able to battle Cait Sith as a Primal ?
Tribe of Cait Sith's living in Ishgard, living in a village made out of igloo's?

Will you please allow people to zoom out further than we can now?
I have a problem on leviathan and cant see well enough as to where he will pop out of in time and I get hit.

My Black list keeps getting full from spammers, is there any chance you can add a select multiple names from the window and delete those all at once?
I really hate having to click each one to get rid of all the (deleted)

I have all the pieces for the Dragoon Artifact Gear 1 & 2, Will you allow dying them in the near future?
I would love to have my Dragoon armor be a blood red color.

Regarding the list of levequests available after each time you collect your reward.
Having this list randomize after each time you collect your reward is getting really annoying when trying to do levequests together with friends. We're lucky if everyone in our party has the same levequest available at the same time.
Will there be made a change to this, preferably showing all levequests the specific npc has to offer at all times, letting us choose freely from the full list which levequests we want to sign up for, together?
