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

[Aoxaviar]

With the expansion going to the air, and eventually the sea being opened up the gaming community later, are there any definite plans at this time that you can discuss for seeing creatures like the Ruby and Emerald Weapons in this game?

Hi ^^

- Since Healer and Support class using LB 3 can revive people when they are dead while fighting, can you make it so the Phoenix Down can be used in combat, giving them a real usage?

If not, can PLD be able to Raise, since he can use it from CNJ skill tree, but out of combat only >.< which no one use a slot for because it's useless?

Thank you.

[Aoxaviar]

Can you discuss when and/or how the Ascians will start to make a larger role in the game? Will they have an area of a map like the Primal Races? Will the Grand Companies start offering Leves or hunts for them? Will we see a FATE setup like Lighting in game where we can fight them? Dungeons exclusively related to them?

[Aoxaviar]

I am wondering if the power struggle between the Sultana and the Syndicate will ever be fully resolved in game as part of the playable storyline, or as part of the story we hear about during progression.

I am also wondering when we will be able to get to Ala Mingo and will the the fighting of the Resistance against the Empire be played out in the story or more like Frontlines?

[Aoxaviar]

1. Will the AG get new Leve's for higher level players?
2. Will the AG get AG only dungeons for all levels?
3. Will the AG get a storyline expansion?
4. Will the AG get a ranking system per City State?
5. Will we see an AG open in Mor Dhona and Ihsgard (sp)?
6. Will we see Inn's open in Mor Dhona and Ihsgard (sp)?
7. Will we ever be able to treat the main hall of the AG as a restaraunt with better nerfs than the crafted/dropped/gathered food items?

In regards to the Summoner job, are there any plans, whether it be a new job, or just an addition to the main scenario making it possible for Summoners to be able to summon a pet in which the pet model looks more like its primal counterpart
(even if its a scaled down version in terms of size and power)?

[Crimsonharo]

Is there any idea of when we will see Primal creatures wandering the open world?

Are there plans to provide a unique title, or reward, for those players who have achieved Level 50 in all of the DoW, DoM, DoH, and DoL ranks? Thanks.

Would you consider taking dungeons and making non-instanced, explorable versions attached to the regular world map?

No Aetheryte camp inside. Similar to Final Fantasy 11, you could have randomly spawning Treasure Coffers that require a key to open and only monsters in the zone have a chance to drop the Coffer Key.

Are there plans to add furnishings for displaying armor via mannequins or display cases? (like outside the Weaver's Guild) And can we ever hope to have furnishings that allow for more storage?

It would be great to have something like a Smithing Bench furnishing that you can interact with and provide some sort of stat bonus while using it, while having a storage chest next to it with all my smithing related gear.
