Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XVII!

When is Red Mage coming out? Roughly in which version? 2.5? 3.0? 3.5? 4.0?

Do you plan to make another calamity type event to the world with a "point of no return" to usher the seventh umbral era? (like the transition between the world of balance and world of ruin in FF6).

Would be interesting to see the world fall back in fear of a huge threat.

Because of weekly lockouts, real life schedules and an uneven amount of players, I and several others are unable to play through the Second Coil of Bahamut with friends and FC mates, forcing us to hunt for statics or attempting for wins through (at times hostile) Party Finder groups. This makes end-game content exclusionary, and in my opinion severely limits enjoyment of the game.

My question, then, is this: Would you consider removing the instance lockout on the Second Coil of Bahamut (and all future end-game raids) and instead implement a weekly gear lock as seen in Crystal and Syrcus Towers?

This would open the content to more players, allowing us to play with our friends and company mates while also easing the strict scheduling requirements for static raids. It would also even the field for those of us unable to participate in Hunts by giving us a steadily available source of gear and Sands of Time.

As the days go on and we keep getting close to the patch that will give personal housing I can't help but wonder if we all will get that chance or not. One of the limiting factors that has been mentioned several times is the server stress involved.

1) I would like to know if everyone will get a chance at a personal house or will the wards be just as limited as fc ones are now?

2) Also another question I had was on price. Rumor has it they will be 850k or more to start out with. If server space and stress is still issues by that time they come out do you think the pricing will stay below fc housing or be very high to discourage everyone from wanting one?

With so much centered around gardening as of late it is of extreme concern to me and I am sure many others.

Are you able to convert the start hair style of all races? So I will be able to use them for all races.

あなたはすべてのレースの開始ヘアスタイルを変換することはできますか？ だから私はすべてのレースのためにそれらを使用することができます。

How many accounts are currently subscribed to FFXIV? Not characters or the number of daily logins, but the actual number of current subscriptions.

[Megaius]

Can you do something about Titan EX? I was in the party fighting Titan. We did dodge Landslide and Weight of the Land, but they still hit few of them. It's like we're being laggy in Titan HM.

And is there no plan to change/tone a little bit for Primal Extreme (Ifrit EX, Titan EX, etc.)?

[Zumi]

Currently there is no use for the weekly quest Rowena's Tokens because people already got all the weapons from it or have got newer weapons. A lot of players would like to be able to buy the extreme primal mounts with the tokens, to give people a reason to do extreme primals again. Any plans on adding items like mounts to be buy able with Rowena's tokens?

Question: Will you consider allowing players to attempt the savage version of the second binding coil of bahumut independent of the normal version of this raid but with no loot dropping; to allow players to still attempt savage coil progression and get weekly loot from the normal version of the raid?

[Zumi]

When FFXIV:ARR was released you said that we would be able to have user created addons and release software to let players make addons for the game, about 6 months after launch. It is now been 1 year since launch any news on when we will be getting the user created addons?
