Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XVII!

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.

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.

Can this issue of tying important content to FATES be looked at please. Using a horrible RNG for ATMA drops is not only a time sink but it make the overall game horribly boring. Can we get the devs to stop tying important items to FATES. Doing this mean that they lack the imagination to include something new. Seriously I have been trying for days to get 1 ATMA to drop and nothing, 600 FATES later still nothing. FYI I am doing everything I am supposed to. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. I don't want to continue reporting this issue as ATMA harassment to GM's since clearly the Devs do not read the feedback in the forums.

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.

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.

In one of the live streams showcasing 2.2, a male a female hairstyle based on the lalafell race were shown but have yet to make it into the game, why is that?

Is there any word on adding any additional content for DoL/DoH? Something like Hamlets from 1.0?

Is there ever going to be increases to primal mount drop rates or other ways to obtain them? Because right now it is like winning the lottery rare to even see one drop, let alone beat 7 people in casting lots for it and almost no one wants to farm them because of that. The only people that do primal exs are mostly people trying to get the clear.

Also can you guys at SE stop giving people special in-game exclusive items that aren't accessible to the "online community" like the fanfest moogle suit or at very least allow people to buy virtual tickets and live stream next year's fanfest with the in-game item included for a reasonable price?

[PoeRangutan]

Seeing the number of items on the market board that sell at or below the npc buyback amount is frustrating (copper sand, low level fish, many cooking ingredients). Are there any plans to add content to increase the demand for lower level items?

There have been many rumours regarding the possibility of a lizard-like race to be introduced in the near future (most would suggest with patch 2.4 alongside the new Class and Job). Is there any validity to this? If it is true, would the race be akin to the Bangaa or something completely different?
