As of now, the three leaders of Eorzea's Grand Companies are a reflection of the three roles in a party: Tank (Raubhan, Gladiator), Healer (Kan-E-Senna, Conjurer), and DPS (Merlwyb, Gun Class); in fact we can see this proven again when looking at the GC Elite armor, in which the Elite Flame tank armor is a re-skin of Raubhan,'s clothes, the Elite Storm DPS armor is Merlwyb's coat, and the Twin Adder Elite healer vest is Kan-E's recolored dress. In the occurrence that a fourh role is eventually added to the party's spectrum, will a brand new Grand Company with a leader representing the fourth role rise into Eorzea (or in another continent, should we be that far into the future)?

Also, the horses of the Far East, judging by their look on the Uma Kabutos, are different from the unicorns and warsteeds of Eorzea. Do these creatures belong to a different species althogether? Is it even right to call them horses?

What is the story behind this games chocobo forest, were the ishgardians the ones who were the "chocobo hunters" searching for it in order to maintain control over the chocobo supply or was it people looking to try and take their monopoly away, when they came upon the draught chocobo, will we eventually be able to travel there. Is this where our legacy chocobo's waited for us all these years between its adventures? Will we ever be able to get a female chocobo from the wild as the Ishgardians dont seem to want to give them up?

Edit: and will we ever learn of these untold tales of adventure refered to in the mount description for legacy chocobo?

Do you find that working on Project Rapture under Hiromichi Tanaka was a different experience than working as part of Naoki Yoshida's group?
As one of the key members from the original 1.0 team, what can you tell us about the original direction of Tanaka's truncated storyline?
Where was he going with it?
What was the plan before Dalamud/2.0 came to be?

In regards to the War of the Magi at the conclusion of the 5th Astral Era, we know the White Mages of Amdapor and the Scholars of Nym are at war with a third nation of Black Mages, however, to the best of my knowledge we are never given a name for that third nation. The assumption has been that it was Belah'dia, but in Qarn, Hunter-scholar, and Sightseeing dialogue, Belah'dia is always referred to as a 6th Astral Era nation which was built on top of an older 5AE civilization.

So if not Belah'dia, what is the name of the 5th Astral Era nation of Black Mages which went to war with Amdapor and Nym?

All we've really seen of the Empire so far is their military units and outposts - what can you tell us about the homeland, Garlemald proper? Is it a bit more vibrant, maybe akin to Archades from XII? Will we ever get to go there or shall it remain ever in tales from afar?

Anything you can give us about the greater geography of Hydælyn? Complete world maps with all the continents mayhaps?? Or at very least where in the seven hells the island of Bianaq is???
