Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE: E3 Edition!

[Hadeed]

I understand fighting is everything but can we have some other stuff like in FATE or even in quests like

1) Jumping exploring quests
2) hide and seek or scouting
3) mini movies ( cut scene) in the mini quests or FATE that relates to other FATEs
4) destroying or defending objectives
5) anything outside the fighting <3 lol



or in any other quests with nice rewards like the solar customs , mainly cosmetic or a reward that change your animations ?! like fighting pose or abilities cast animation or is there any plan to do that in the future .

Weapons that has rare effects very rare that players go crazy for it like in FF11 the Karken club that hits 8-11 times auto attack , or a magic effect built in the weapon

Are there any plans to do away with or implement 1.0 items for which there is no use currently? (Items like Inferno Taper, Unmarked Keystone, Faded Page.) I've been putting off just throwing these away for fear of them being useful someday.

Are there any plans to introduce recipes or quests for all the dozens of fish that seem to have no current use?

Will you be doing anything for PAX Prime in Seattle?

Can you release more details about the FFXIV Fan Fest? (Some of us have to plan vacations, etc months in advance!)

Will you be adding a feature to be able to use the duty finder feature with your Chocobo out. I do not want to bring my Chocobo into dungeons, I would just like to be able to Queue for dungeons with my Chocobo out then dismiss them or have them go into limbo while I’m in the instance. This would allow me to use my Chocobo more while I’m soloing but still allow me to be in the duty finder.

Is there any plans to add swimming into the game yet?

[Reidar]

It will help to increase the reports of Cheating/RMT/Spam. If a player receives too much reports, you could be able to confirm more easy if its a bot or spammer.

My blacklist has over 300 names, and only 1 or 2% of them have been deleted from the game.

Will the cutscenes of The Binding Coil of Bahamut ever be available for viewing in the Inn Room?

[Hiruke]

Why are certain items (mirrors from Leviathan EX in particular) only 1% drop rates? Wouldn't it be more satisfying to players to increase the difficulty of the encounter rather than repeat content 300+ times hoping for luck?

(For background, I ask this question because it is extremely frustrating to repeat content ad nauseam, becoming so good you can crush it in your sleep, and still never get the drop... ever. This game needs less luck-based drops, and more skill-based drops.)

[Dejectedbunny]

Could we possibly get ground way markers, similar the to "A,B,C" ones we already have that are only seen client-side?

[Dejectedbunny]

Any chance of getting a Gremlin minion in the future? Perhaps one that occasionally shouts out insults like they do in Amdapor City?

[Hiruke]

Are there any plans to make FATEs more strategically engaging? Currently, one FATE is almost indistinguishable from another, as you simply have large groups of players AoEing monsters to death.

(For background, I ask this question because FATEs seem to be held in very high regard by the dev team, and I'm not certain why. They are not very interesting, take zero skill to complete, and add very little to the experience of the game. Whether I'm fighting a pack of bombs or a pack of snakes, it's really all the same. No one particularly wants to do FATEs, though certain content - such as animus - forces you to do so. Content should be fun, desired by the player, not forced upon the player.)
