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

[PrinceLoke]

With the new races coming out I was wondering if there would be any changes to the previous races such as height? Alphinaud and Alisaie Leveilleur are much shorter in height and would love to be able to create their height for the Elezen race. In short, will there be an update to the elezen height to match Alphinaud and Alisaie Leveilleur?

Would you consider making seperate armour for the summoner/scholar so they dont share blm/whm armour and possibly making the summoner/scholar weapon stand out more?

[Rufalus]

Will the item level 120 relic weapons take on a new appearance from what we have seen before? Please discuss the future of the relic/zodiac weapons.

[Rufalus]

Roughly how many new classes can we expect to see introduced in the first expansion?

[ExodiaTheAwesome]

Are there any plans for another tier of advanced class on the expansion? e.g. Can we get a new tank class called berserker or some brutal name if we have a lv50 War and lv40 PLD for example?

[FrozenFlux]

Can we expect to see the ability to use glamours to create more unique looks, like a BLM in heavy armor or a PLD in a robe?

[Kace_Eisold]

When will we hear more about the Garlean Legatus? In terms of roleplay, I'm doubly interested in knowing all the Legates who are fighting for succession, as previously mentioned in 2.2's plot!!

[Serras]

I have asked this question before and I'm hoping that it can be answered cause I know quite a bit of players are wondering about this

My issue is that all new jobs added in the future that branch off the original 8 classes will already be the same level I feel like one that is too easy and two it doesn't give a player a real chance to experience a job.

Ex. I have bard 50 if you released ranger and it branched from archer i would already have a 50 ranger without doing anything but unlocking it.

Will there be high level raids/content for 4 man parties? Alternatively, can there be 4 man versions of raids/coil, or at least 4 man raids that also drop the current highest ilevel gear?

I enjoy raiding, however having to find 7 other competent players who can play at the same time is a loathsome endeavor. What's the point?

Having to find 7 other competent members who can play at the sametime is an unnecessary chore. Note. I'm not asking for a freebie or handout or easier raiding. Those who are lucky enough to have 8 man statics should keep what they have. However, for all of those who want to do difficult raiding, and obtain top level gear we should not be excluded simply on the basis of not having 7 other competent players. To wit I would argue that SE can make the 4 man raids, HARDER than the 8 man raids, and drop only zero to one treasure box, instead of a guaranteed 2. This way those who want/can/do raid with 8 are kept happy and those who can't find 7 other competent players can raid with 4. Right now the 4 man content is junk you just run through it, seems to be a waste of a foundation that already exists in the game.

Thanks

As a player who is always amazed by the incredible environments in FF games and FFXIV in particular, I would love to see some implementation of VR support for ARR. As the owner of an Oculus Rift DK1(and soon DK2), the immersion that VR allows is quite intense. While I think that normal gameplay would be difficult to adapt to in VR, so I would suggest a non-combat exploration mode that would allow the character to be invisible to the world, possibly like astral projection, to avoid problems with griefing or unfair advantages of this mode.

Short version: Are there any plans for any form of Oculus Rift/Morpheus/VR support in the future of FFXIV: ARR?
