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

[Paito]

What will be the Basic stats for Roque/Ninja?
Will it be DEX?

Are there any plans to reconsider the current pace of character progression? While a 6 month cycle for gear is not unusual for the genre, it is also very stale and almost universally disliked. MMO veterans quickly become acutely aware that they are on a treadmill when gear is invalidated at such a rapid pace. Are there any plans to introduce horizontal character progression to help avoid/mitigate the problems with power creep that will be coming?

Honestly I'm not at all sure if these have already been asked. I read down through the thread, but new questions are popping up on a daily basis, so forgive me if you've already heard this.

That said, I have two questions -minor questions- but questions none the less.

1. Will there at any point soon, be a method for changing your name or the name of your retainer? And...

2. Will there at any point be a way of saving your UI, Keybinding, and text color configurations so that they can be applied to other characters?

That's really all I'm curious about at this point. Thank you for your time. You all are doing a fantastic job and I cannot wait to see what happens next.

1) will crafters be able to add materia slots to dungeon/raid gear for resistance materia or minor stats like mind on pld for a bit more regen
2) will you be removing allowances for leves so we can do more per day?
3)can atmas be moved to its own page under character or added to currency along with venture tokens so we dont waist inv space?
4) id love to do GC leves over reg leves but cant use your chocobo with them to level up, any plans to change that?
5)please consider for the love of everything in this game, up atmas drop or change it a bit. Iv gone a whole month farming off and on without seeing a drop.

NM hunting in FFXI, while very frustrating it was also very rewarding. Myself and many other players enjoy attempting to solo impossible to gauge monsters. Group play is very fun, but sometimes it is fun to see if you can make the challenge on your own. Are there any plans to implement a system similar to the NM hunting in FFXI, or even some sort of challenging solo play content that gives rewarding loot for end game?

[MysticGamer]

Is there plans to raise the lvl cap for classes/jobs above 50?

[RygaenYuui]

Guildhest system has so much potential. Will we ever see any more of them implemented with higher difficulty and a chance to drop exclusive items?

[HaroldSaxon]

Is there a plan to do FC vs FC PVP?

[Fawkes]

When will you increase the drop rate for atma, or add additional ways to obtain it?

[Cuervo78]

When will disciples of the Hand/Land get get some new gear (beside tools)?
