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

[Asheilin]

Is Eye for an Eye ever going to be able to be placed on our summoned pet, on ourselves? Or is it glitched?

[DukeBurden]

The first few months of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn felt like a tribute game to all Final Fantasy titles. Are there any plans to continue this theme in the future, such as famous character hairstyles, cross game events, glamour weapons from other titles, special mounts, etc.?

[Airget]

Are there any possibilities to allow crafters to lock in 3 crafting classes for desynthing, since as it stands now those who have decided to take all crafting classes to 50 are at a disadvantage with the inability to reach 100, and considering that by 75 desynth skill the process can get rather long and expensive it's rather discouraging to have to worry about losing skill points at higher levels with the inability to take 3 crafting classes to 100 and not have to worry about them being in a 98-100 limbo.

[Akanea]

Are there any plans to implement a birthday system or some sort of event/reward to celebrate our birthdays in game? We selected all that stuff when we created our characters, but have not had anything come from it since then.

Is there a plan to introduce a kind of "overflow" server?

As a Pay-to-play MMO it is really disheartening to be unable to play where I want and when I want.

I understand the servers can get crowded, but honestly most of the other MMOs I have played had a sort of system in place that I could play even if it was temporarily on another server with trading disabled.

We made a video for Yoshi P as thanks to him for allowing anyone regardless of gender to get married in XIV. Please provide him this link with our gratitude.

As FC Leader of the world's largest LGBT gaming community and proudly playing Final Fantasy XIV since beta, I want to thank you for allowing anyone to get married in the best MMO out there. Just a few members of our guild wanted to "show our colors" as thanks and how much it meant to them. Please enjoy it, Yoshida-san.

I came back to the game after a month absence and there is seriously a lot of extra stuff to do, not to mention things are very integrated. Some of my new LTW recipes depend on fishing and CUL Desynth for example. Even just getting myself to the top of LTW takes a lot of work, and involves a lot of items like Animal Fat which are on varied vendors. Do you see this sort of thing repeating? Where old Tomestone times are offloaded on to other vendors and players have to work their way through a linear progression, or are you going to implement some way to skip this?

I like having things at a long line of progression and for them to always be static, but it seems like it's a lot of things to keep up with as the game evolves.

Is the Red Mage - or the FFXIV:ARR iteration of the RDM - going to be a DoM or DoW?

[Selkraps]

The riddle quest line "The Greatest Story Never Told" was a new and fun addition to the game. I personally enjoyed it a lot. Are there any plans to have more quests like this in the future patches? Or quests that require a little more thinking?

One complaint that I do have though is that I wish that the quest line would have given some sort of reward/title or an achievement.

I would like to know if you guys could remove the fantasia purchase restrictions currently in place. I change my race constantly to keep things different. But I've now purchased all available fantasia and I would like more. Please
