Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XVI! (The Future of FFXIV: ARR)

[Kahoko]

Would it be possible to make a in-game notepad? Perhaps a way to add notes to the journal?

When you plan for future content, could you please start taking into account questions like "How can this be abused?", rather than only "How can this be used?".
Daily Hunt is an example of something where "How can this be abused?" certainly can't have been asked.

Might be a cultural thing, but I've noticed that especially NA/EU communities concentrate on how they can abuse new content or features to the detriment of others, or to gain unfair advantages, and as such I feel it's something that must be considered going into the future.

What future do you have planned for us, the players, that we should look forward to?

[Grifstar]

Currently the armoire only seems to hold achievement/event items and artifact gear (most of these being easy to replace anyway because of the Calamity Salvager). Are there plans to add anything more, such as dungeon or raid drops?

[ManaKing]

The most important questions for me are:

When are we likely to see RDM?
What party role will it occupy?

Thank you

Since it was added Hunting Marks. I have a another idea about it, since Hunting Marks can be done by daily and weekly; my idea is that to put the Hunting Mark logs like Final Fantasy XII do, when you hunt certain marks and slay them, you could make money and increase your Hunting Rank and allow you to hunt more marks and more difficult marks to hunt as exactly as FF XII does. The higher hunting rank is, the more difficult to slay mark it is. And the payout would be in Gil, rare materials, rare minions, rare mounts, rare items, etc, and of course achievement too. In addition of that, D rank (the lowest rank) marks can be done by solo (Party is optional) up to S rank (the highest rank) marks can be done by full party as teamwork is required to take them down in "proper way". So I hope you have the good idea to put it in use.

Are there any plans to allow our other mounts to become companions too and that we can summon more then one and may form a light party if we want with our companions/mounts.

With the mounts that we have (behemoth, coruel, floating eye) I get the feeling as though EVENTUALLY we will be able to train and have an possible 8 team party to solo dungeons using multiple companions. Just a thought considering what they do to us on the open world.

I was looking forward to exploring more of the eorzean continent and eventually the rest of Hydaelyn with each new update. But so far, we've only got new quests and content in existing maps and areas. While this content is still interesting, I am especially hoping to see new areas we can explore and discover, such as the Coerthas main city, the other Coerthas Western/Eastern Highlands, the City in the northwest of the Eorzean Continent and similarly the City in the north eastern part of Eorzea on the World Map.

Speaking of this, I hope that each new area, isn't simply one map, but instead at least a bunch of new maps, given that you have a gap of 3 months in between updates. I also look forward to exploring the areas of the Garlean Empire to the extreme North East of Eorzea, maybe in an expansion perhaps?

Please consider these suggestions.

Thanks!

Are Free Company Houses still getting a jukebox that can play various music from the game?

In addition to this, are existing dungeons going to have music reworked so that it loops like in The Labyrinth of the Ancients, and Syrcus Tower?

[Hollow_Tears]

Are there any plans to expand on other city-states/villages/outposts and the like to show that eorzea is growing as a whole and not just revenant's toll that gets expanded.
