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

[kaynide]

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.

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.

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.

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?

[silentstack]

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
