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

Could you give us some informations about the Gold Saucer ? What stuff could we expect in it ? When do you plan on releasing it ?

Thanks for the great work !

Any plans to implement a system similar to Faction Leves from FFXIV v 1.0? Several FC members are itching at a tiered NM progression system similar to how Zeni Nms and Abysea NMs systems worked in FFXI. Faction leves operated very similar to tiered hunts in 1.0, it would be great to have them back.

What avenues for alternate endgame progression are planned? Will all top tier raids have weekly lockouts similar to how coil is currently? It might be better community building if once a certain path is cleared that a loot lock out be enacted similar to how CT operates or adjusted so that once cleared that person loses looting rights, however they can still play through the content at will.

Have you guys consider easing up on alot of the restrictions that you place in the game in question? Such as gear options, duty finder party role requirements, Max Level Cap, Tier Endgame dungeon lockouts, materia melding, etc.

For example: In XI, players could use subclass abilities as well as the traits for that subclass to kind of give players a mixed feel of customization and strategy when it came to certain things and also a point system to keep enhancing their abilities past the max level to a specific cap.

How will this look say a year from now?

i heard a rumor about possible changes coming to the class/job system in 3.0. Can you elaborate on that?

Please talk about the FC Global Summoning system. Is it still coming?

Are there any plans that FC members might be able to participate or queue certain content together in like an Alliance setting either in or outside of dutyfinder?
