Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XVIII! (FFXIV: ARR)

[Iveriad]

Will gun wielding class be introduced in patch 2.5 now that we have Milala in Rogue's class quest line?

[MsKirsten]

Is it true Odin will be the primal for 2.5 patch? How will that fit into the main storyline?

With the introduction of ninja and final coil of bahamut, we can all see just how poorly designed Dragoons are; how their dps does not measure up to ninja's or monks, even if they make virtually no mistakes and ninja's/monk's make three or four; how their mdef is so unbelievably low that they can be one shot by magic, unavoidable does while other party members stay alive; and their lack of utility. As rage inducing as all that is, we have been informed that buffs are on their way.

How long before we see these buffs implemented, and how comprehensive are they going to be?

[MsKirsten]

When will the relic weapon quest ends? Before Heavensward? Will we be receiving any relic specific weapon abilities as a reward? Like Bard able to sing 2 songs simultaneously, BlackMage Tornado etc.

So it has been told that the EU servers will have there own data centers placed in EU. How will this effect the none EU players who prefer EU servers for the time difference or perfered times difference to enjoy the game. Or even the players who established a lot in game IE: invest a lot of gil to a FC home, Made a lot of friends or even just beeing happy on that EU server. Will we have heavy lag and be forced to change servers ? or will it be possible to categorize each player who does not live in the EU area to play on a EU server but can be in a different data center for better connection? Or have the option to have our charcters be in the original data center which is in Canada?

Any plans on a time mage job?

With all the nice designs of gear throughout this game, a lot of them are either locked to a class/job, or barred behind an achievement or rank. Would it be possible to add recipes to the game of level 1 whites of these clothes for all classes to glamour? Examples would be like the Elktail Robe from pvp, or what if someone wanted to glamour the Allagan Cuirass of maiming onto their tank or mage just because it looks good? I'm sure it wouldn't be to hard to make such recipes to share amongst all classes, to truly diversify how one should want to look.

You have mentioned buffing the Dragoon job. You did a buff earlier for Black Mage but it was a simple potency change for their skill which ultimately didn't resolve the issue they had, and has become more so an issue with the difficulty of mechanics in Final Coil. Are you planning to do a more major change to the Dragoon job so they will not run into the same issues further down the road?

[Anapingofness]

Any plans to fix some of the glaring clipping issues?

Any plans to readdress the lack of butts in Eorzea?

Any plans to increase armory space?

Any plans to allow us to send mail to our alts that are on the same account and same server?

Any plans for a /sigh emote?

Not related to FFXIV in game but related to FFXIV official forums.
Any plans to allow us to have a way to contact Forum Mods?

Are there any plans to allow small plots to upgrade to medium or large plots of land?
This would be really helpful to FCs or players who have a small Home but would like to upgrade without moving.
The upgrade price could be the current price of houses for that ward. So if a small was to upgrade to a medium, the FC/player would have to save up enough gil to buy a medium plot in that ward.

Are there any plans to increase the amount of furnishings small houses can place both inside and out of the house?

Are there any plans to allow small houses to use two large garden plots and more then two NPCs?

Are there any plans to allow us to mix and match garden plots? For example, two small garden plots instead of one large plot.

Are there any plans to let players have flower pots to garden in their personal rooms or inn room?
If the small houses can have two L garden plots then personal rooms and inn rooms can have 4 flower pots and it would look great. ^^

Any plans to add larger windows to the houses?
