Gameplay

Is there any talk about a competitive PVE mode where a group of player's or Solo players go through an endless gauntlet of mobs? Perhaps tied to Golden Saucer as a form of self gambling, losing everything if you die mid challenge?

[Nova_Dresden]

Prior to and during beta we were told the game was going to be catered toward a more casual audience. However, extreme mode primals and the gating between them, turns 5-9 of the binding coil, and the relic weapon grind from Zenith to Nexus seem to completely contradict that. Will we continue to see a focus on extremely long grind content and one-shot kill mechanics coupled with one player able to cause a wipe on all content going forward?

I was wondering if you will implement a way to merge shards into crystals or clusters?

[Susseen]

Will there ever be set bonuses on coil gear or any future raiding gear to reward the more hardcore players?

Could you make them Dyeable, they've got great potential as a Cosmetic Item

Have you ever thought of incorporating a boardgame for Golden Saucer? Final Fantasy Tactics series comes to mind.

You could collect things like..

-Game Boards(how cool would a diablo level be?!)
-Character Pieces(what is essentially your tactics character, could have rare ones from in game npc's/random monsters like Beastmaster/Tamers help you aquire in FFT)
-Character Piece's Gear(maybe like Wolf Marks where you gain points to outfit them, you could also do daily/weekly battles for gear that drops/treasure chests)
-Spells/Summons(get this from Primals and BeastTribe maybe?)
-Special Rewards (Achievements,Titles,Glamour Gear,Minions,Mounts,Crafting Items, etc)

I would love to be able to "Party" up with friends Character Pieces and do weekly dungeons or duel other teams of players in this setting. Brightmoon Tor maybe? :)

Please tell me if you would consider this! I must know :)

I was wondering if you will implement a way to merge shards into crystals or clusters?

Or even the opposite things, like in 1.0 let you break Clauster into Crystals and Crystals into Shards (Using the alchemist :P)

[RegentP]

Can we get an Update on Open world PVP, and if so, would it only apply to select servers or all servers?

Will we ever be able to (if ever) transfer to Jenova? I have an alternate character on Jenova, but my main character is still on Leviathan. With all the items and stuff I've obtained form things such as events(and not to mention the leveling I've done), I'd like to be able to transfer to Jenova to get access to my stuff, and still be with my FC mates.
