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

[ViscaBarre]

We currently have furniture and weapons that can be crafted using the material drops from HM and EX primals (Garuda's Feather, Vortex Feather, Inferno Horn...). The furniture include Ifrit lamp and Garuda couch that tend to be bit difficult to match with the decor of one's private house/room due to their flashy appearance.

It could be easier to match them if there were more pieces of each set.

So my question is, could we have more housing items crafted with Garuda's Feathers or Titan's Hearts and the like?

[ViscaBarre]

Are there plans to introduce body markings for appearance? Such as scars, tattoos, birthmarks, etc. on other areas than just the face. Would love to have a scar across the character's back for example.

[ViscaBarre]

Will we see a new relic weapon questline in the expansion?

In FFXI there were over 20+ jobs to play as, but many end game and hardcore raids only allowed for a handful of jobs. This many all other jobs outclassed and irrelevant to the meta at the time.

As FFXIV plans to release more jobs to add variety to the game (which is all very exciting) what steps are being taken to assure that all classes, old and new, are given equality and balance with each other? (So that any player can play any job, and not be forced to reroll to stay relavent in the game, thus abandoning their favorite job)

Stats added for materia are capped. Are there any plans to to provide us a tooltip, or skill, or npc to let us know what these caps are so that we don't waste our hard earned materia?

Are there also any plans to allow us to remove individual materia from equipment. I realize this may require some logic because of the Advanced Materia Melding, but at the very least we should be able to replace the materia inside materia slots without having to redo our entire materia melding (mostly because of the lack of capping info as mentioned above).

Currently tank, white mage and warrior have their own, job-specific mounts. The paladin's lion and warrior's bear go together with their PVP armor theme.

Will the other jobs get their own mounts and if yes, will it they go together with the PVP armors? Such as bat for ninja, wolf for black mage.

When will we see Tavnasian Tacos, or their Eorzean equivalent added to the game? Because who doesn't like tacos?!

i know this might be a stretch but since getting to the top level (XV) 18hr gathering ventures takes a lot of effort would it be possible to create a system that snap shots the gear you want them to use and still get to use the gear yourself? I find myself saying dang-it i wanna go mine but my retainer has all my good gear, but i also what to keep my retainer working ^_^

Having a friend who just spent 7 days of subscription time trying to get onto my server makes me ask the question, "Will we ever see a way to easily get into a server that a friend is on?" Maybe something like the world ID friend code that FFXI has.

I heard rumours that the new race will be based off the Vieta race from Ivalice. Is this true? If not, will we see Vieras added to the game?
