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

[Knives]

Will tanks ever get traits for existing abilities that improve their mobility? (for example, a gap-closer like "Shoulder Tackle" added to "Shield Bash" PvE only -- or a draw-in effect added to "Steel Cyclone" and "Tomahawk" while in "Defiance" PvE only)

[Knives]

With ARR coming to an end and Heavensward on the horizon, are there any plans for horizontal progression in the future? (for example, Item level finally maxes out and rather than seeing increases in stats, we get gear with unique sets of stats, or certain equipment that improves certain abilities, unique gear that has materia slots, set bonuses, weapons that attack twice for each auto-attack, accessories that improve TP regeneration, etc.)

[Knives]

Will MNK ever get "Boost"!?

[Skyler_Hawkins]

Will there ever be a Bestiary added? If so, could there be a subcommand feature when clinking on the enemies to examine them like other players?

[Luckylifer]

Do you promise you wont delay heavensward past spring?

[Knives]

For MNK, will different Fighting stances and auto-attack animations ever be added to correspond with the three "forms" they go through while fighting?

[Knives]

Will "Sword Oath" ever get a trait to change the additional effects on certain PLD abilities at level 50? (For example, while under the effect of "Sword Oath", the "Flash" additional effect changes from "generate's increased enmity" to "Banish" which deals magic damage, "Savage Blade" and "Rage of Halone" no longer generate enmity, etc)

[HiKaizer]

There are a lot of new hair options, but will there be new facial hair or other face detail options in coming patches?

[Knives]

Dungeons are always said to be safe after completion. Are there any plans to open dungeons up to the open world after completion, independant of the instanced version? (for example, a new zone that has the same layout as the dungeon. Perhaps shops with Unique wares could be found there, or FATE's that have interesting rewards!?) Is this something you would consider?

With character renaming now available will we be able to rename free companies as well in the future?
