Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XVII!

Will we ever receive a better option for vanity gear, especially one that isn't hidden behind ridiculous gathering, random luck drops? New outfits are millions of gil on some servers. The beastmen helmets and most of the gear overall in FFXI was much better. The goblin helmet for 450 days subbing is atrocious in comparison to FFXI's. ALso things like the wyvern helm, I'd love to see brought back.

Will we ever see anything added to the game like BCNM's from FFXI? I think adding those as an option to game vanity/bragging gear would be a pretty nice alternative to random loot, also could be another way to gain gear/items without the weekly coil lockouts.

I know rogue and ninja are coming down the line next, I would love to see dark knight added to the game, it was my favorite in FFXI and seems like it could easily fit into the lore of Eorzea. Also, since bard was pretty much destroyed from what it was in FFXI which makes me very sad maybe DRK could be made into a tanking type class over a DPS since we have an over abundance of them as it is.

Also, any plans to ever go to 5-6 man sized parties over 4? I think upping the party would get people into groups faster, and could also open up better options for adding buffing/debuffing classes like the original bard, rdm, maybe dancer and blue mage even.

Following the post before me: could you share with us if you are thinking of revamping the class/job system?

Are you planning on creating advanced class, Like Crusader for Paladin, Berserker for Warrior, Champion for Monk, etc..?

I understand new skills will come with the level cap raise. But it could give way to new stories, and then Godly skills, which would be harder than the relic quest. (yes big rewards comes from big sweats)

Not asking for Limit Break skills as it would become too "casual" (oh I typed the word)

Many thanks.

Are there any plans to change the way the fishing class is currently played ?


Here are a few issues currently.
i.e. Having no GP abilities like other gathering classes / The exponential rate that Perception will cause fish to become unobtainable / The cost to fully meld gear being 5X that of other gathering classes / The inability to obtain Fieldcraft III or Mastercraft materia from the fishing/culinary class resulting in triple the time-sink and gil input in order to receive a primary tool that does nothing but hinder you in catching fish due to the way perception interacts with the Fish Records.

Has the SE Dev Team had conversations about player accounts with specifically, adding to them that would break with current MMO gaming styles and be potentially Genre changing?

1 - providing primary account holders a way to create an account for their children to play from to also allow for their parent to be online playing with them?

2 - Providing additional storage methods equal to retainers currently?

3 - Multi-platform on one account, or separating the characters we have to specific platform types which would allow for multi-platform play?

I would think this would add dynamic aspects to gameplay, and also, being a parent, I believe being a physical presence in game is far better than only being noticed in the log window.

I ask this of you Yoshi-P and the Dev Team because you represent SE in the MMO enviroment, and SE is most known for MAKING the standards, not going along with them.

Please respond.

1 - Lore related information stored on the players based system

2 - Gathering and crafting logs

Could we get a tiny bit more time to get out of AoE's? Due to server / client latency it can be very frustrating to see yourself out of an effect on your screen and still get hit by it.

1 - A way to play as our chocobo as an IOS and Android Game? and actually get exp points for it in game? The level req of the chocobos is painstaking to get.

2 - Player housing available outside the game realm? Would allow for us to venture our retainers, craft, really access the stables for chocobo raising every hour.

3 - Game Addons? Using our own materials from in game, have an out of game "workshop" to create ideas per the dev teams materials requirements for gear, furnishings, etc.

4 - Content Editor? Similar to the "workshop" in the above question, but would allow us to custom color (fully) armours, weapons, accessories used in game and do something with all of the "Unsellable" and "unconvertable" content we have picked up in game.

5 - Game addon for creating dungeons/raids/frontline maps?

6 - Game addon (IOS & Android or PC/Console) that would allow for gathering the dungeons/raids/guildheists/frontlines maps?

[Aoxaviar]

These aspects would also work really well with the PS4 to Vita crossplay aspects of the game.

Please let us know if these ideas are being talked about and anything about development or if they are currently "trashed" ideas.
