Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XVII!

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?

Please provide some discussion on the following:

1 - With Lxali coming before 2.4, when will the Leve limit for beast tribe quest be removed?

2 - Will the Beast Tribes always have a 3 quest limit or are there plans to up that in the near future?

3 - Will we see more in depth quests relating directly to the beast tribes themselves, not just gathering and fighting for them?

4 - Are there any raids planned (4 party) where we are also teamed up with Beast Tribe NPCs?

5 - With Frontlines having started, are there any plans for possibly putting together that style of raid for the tribes? I would expect that the Lxali and Syphs don't always get along.

6 - With Shiva coming in 2.4, will or when will we see the tribe for her "faithful"?

7 - With Lo Nocea and The Shroud having 2 beast tribes, when will Thanalan pick up a 2nd Tribe?

8 - Will The Highlands ever get the Dragon worshipers as a beast tribe?

Thanks Yoshi-P

Are there any plans to allow us to explore the hullbreaker isle for content like fishing/hunts/sightseeing log/challenge log and if we feel like it just to take in the sights.

- In Phantasy Star Online 2 we have a system called PSE Burst that occurs based in the parties performance in a certain area. When it happens, the enemy spawn rate is increased geometrically and the loot/money obtained goes up too. Are you thinking about implementing something like this?
- Also in PSO2 the number of ppl in a certain area makes a random BOSS spawn in the area (even an overpowered version of that boss). Can you consider implementing something like this?

I am a player who had gotten into the gathering and crafting late.

I did however, open up everything as soon as I could in game for those who think I am doing it to simply kill time while online.

Why didn't the Dev Team consider adding ability points (DoW and DoM) to these classes for the expansion of CP and GP points for the players?

I know that in a letter several past, Yoshi-P said that the Dev Team never considered adding this function to these classes, I am asking for a more expanded on the subject.

Also, why does the "Quality" skill set and "Abilities" skill set all work off or either CP or GP (respectfully).

Has the Dev Team ever thought of changing this mechanic to include the use of the TP bar for crafting, even at a reduced rate (500 TP in lieu of 1000 TP)?

Please provide us with some answers and also thoughts of the Dev Team moving forward.

Dunno if this question has been asked already, but I was wondering if there are possibly any plans to change Hunts to make them less friendly to zerging? Perhaps make it kinda like the Treasure Maps, where you use an item to spawn the hunt and then only your party can attack the mark?

[Shurakai]

Will there be more than 4 bosses in the Third coil of Bahamut?

[Aoxaviar]

Has the Dev Team ever considered adding a 4 tier to the Chocobo (and later companions)for skills specific to them while we are in these modes?

Say gathering only nerfs for protecting us while we gather?

An ability to act as a decoy so we can gather in an area of aggressive creatures?

I know we have Stealth, but I have two problems with it:
1 - you walk everywhere which is really REALLY slow, and
2 - I have been in some areas where I am still attacked, and killed (one hit wonder) when the creature is usually 20 lvls above me (mainly while fishing.)

Please let us know if anything like this has been discussed.

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.
