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

Savage Coil is a really nice sense of achievement for the hardcore players, but it will become too easy as more gear comes out. Are there plans to put a harsh level sync (such as i110) on Savage Coil to prevent over-gearing so that the titles may always mean as much as they do now?

I was wondering why, in the recent patches when the i60 gathering and crafting gear was added, only the gathering classes got an i60 body piece?

It's been announced that the coding for DirectX 11 is complete, and is now going through testing. When approximately is implementation being scheduled for, and will it have any impact on PS3 support?

[Kaimoria]

When can we expect to be able to schedule our Eternal Bond Ceremony?

Will you ever put Extreme Mode Primals into solo-queue Dungeon Finder as soon as they're released? It seems unnecessary to restrict them for so long to server PF/full party only.

Is it possible to increase the utility of available soil?
Currently, the most used soil is tier 3 Thanalan soil.
That pretty much leaves out tier 1,2, and 3 La Noscean and Shroud Soil as well as Tier 1 and Tier 2 Thanalan soil.

In my opinion it would be better to either have only one soil that we can gather three times a day or, only tier 3 soil that we can use our King's Yield abilities on.

Would it be possible to spice up the way the subdivisions look?
Since everything looks the same except the map has been turned a quarter turn it really messes with my sense of direction. So, my proposal is to either have the subdivisions look the same as the normal housing wards or look different.

Would it be possible to increase more 'crafter' furniture?
For example, spools of thread or cloth samples for weaver, or an bottles of ink/potions/etc for alchemists, etc, etc.

Would it be possible to give us a bigger selection of house designs?

[Nonoko]

Do you plan on adding more character customization options in the expansion other than just hairstyles and tattoos?
IE: More Face styles, and nose/eye/mouth styles - etc

When fishing we have visual cues and audio cues. I prefer audio cues and I know I'm not the only one.

However, when other players take on mobs, we can hear the sounds created by the monsters (footsteps, monster attacks, etc...). This makes it VERY difficult sometimes to listen for the cue that something bit.

In the sound effects volume. Can we please have a 4th bar for NPCs/mobs!

In the future would be possible to implement personal limit breaks ?
