Will there be upcoming endgame content that won't possess entry limitations such as the current Binding Coil? Dividing free companies into groups of 8 doesn't seem enjoyable.

None of the best fighting gear in-game requires melding matera. Crafted gear is there to meld and help fill slots while working toward earning the best gear.

Will DoH and DoL ever get full sets of gear that don't require excessive melding?

I very much like how the lv70 crafting head gear was implemented via-HQ turn ins and would like to know if the rest of a lv70 set is coming. Doing so would drastically open up space in a players armory chest for multiple class/vanity gear and give the crafting community something to strive towards after getting the master tools.

Edit: Yes I know some of the melded gear can top the crappy stats available on some of the i100-i110 gear. *cough* fix bard gear *Cough* goon head too *cough*

when will you add more gear and rank to Grand Companies?

In your brief interview with IGN earlier in the month of May, you mentioned that, alongside Company Chocobos, Magitek Armor would also become a type of companion character. Could you elaborate on this?

Can you fix the neckbeard tuft on Roegadyn Face 3's beard? It wasn't until a late stage of beta that it appeared and it looks hideous. Likewise can you make it so tattoos and facepaint can work simultaneously again? They did in earlier 2.0 beta then stopped and now you simply cannot see tattoos when you have face paint on. I loved creating contrasting art on my character's face but can no longer do this (effects all races.) Also any tweaking to clipping errors would also be nice; with hair or armor/weapons. It's stupid that gae bolg clips on relic armor (the ultimate dragoon look used in marketing material.)

Will the fixing and prevention of clipping become a priority? I personally use the hide weapon option specifically because of the clipping.

Is there any chance that most quests will not have markers over NPC heads (but still a map area of where the NPC is) to let some individual thought be had? I guess what I'm asking is if spoon-feeding us content is going to continue for the rest of the game's life, or if we will have to do a little investigating of our own to do quests.

Will these new NPC weather forecasters perhaps have the ability to report weather phenomenons or maybe provide clues to their occurences and in effect become helpful, albeit indirect timers for Odin and Behemoth Fates?

Do you plan on using the light bar on the PS4 Controller for anything? Maybe it could change depending on the class, or maybe change depending on your health?

Hello! ^^

Keep up the good work, very pleased with the game so far, excited for what's coming in 2.3!

- Regarding Potions, which seems overlooked and underused, can you make it possible for us to use them on another party member? For lower levels, where Esuna/Leech is non-existent, and the player doesn't have on hand or he's stun, it would be nice to use smelling salts - Antidote - Elixir on them.

Considering the long time in between their usage, I do tend to believe it wouldn't imbalance the game?

Thank you for considering.

Would you develop something new with shards maybe a transmutation turn certian of them into for example ice > fire It can be something that requires certian items and make it a little be harder to transmute.
