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

Will the Zodiac weapon quest continue soon?
If so what Ilvl can we go to? i120?
What will the maximum Zodiac Ilvl be at the final stage? I130? I135?
Will the Zodiac weapon be used in 3.0 by some means?

Could you add a Phurble plushie or a phurble minion? Or heck, both.

I know there has been a The Second Binding Coil of Bahamut Savage mode implemented into the game. Do you think we will see Savage mode Dungeons, Primals, etc. in the near future? And could those add elemental attributes that will require players to wear gear that is equipped for the situation; for Example Leviathan Savage you need water resistant gear with thunder attributes to the weapons. This will also give Crafters more of a challenge to make the gear for the Savage mode content for players.

My friend started this game recently and ask is it worth all the pain to upgrade his Relic to Nexus (or future upgrade) with 3.0 Expansion coming soon? Will our Relics be useless in 3.0?

Dying is a fun concept with this game, and I enjoy it alot! There are a few things that puzzle me though, so my question will be this specifically: Why does the Arachne Shirt of Scouting dye so weirdly? Why do so many parts change colors, yet there is one part (the belt) that stays the default green?

(for clarity, this is also feedback. I don't think this particular item dyes quite right and I am wondering if this will be changed. Currently I cannot think of a good way to use any dye on this because
A: the green belt awkwardly stays green even after using a dye
B: the shirt itself changes to a lighter shade of the color chosen, forcing pink onto reds and gray onto blacks.
C: I feel it would have served better for only the greens to change colors since the other colors are neutral and would go with almost anything.

I ask here in the hopes it will be addressed in the live letter!)

Will we ever get to see an in-game bestiary, with all the Monsters and Primals we come across throughout the game? It can be in a Library area in Mor Dhona and later as an housing item to make or buy with tomes; or an even better idea make it a quest all together. You can even have a mobile app potential that players can download like the FFXIV Libra.

Regarding the upcoming expansion, and the rumored level cap increase to 60. The level cap increase typically means that there will be new gear for levels 50-60, and with the difficulty of getting high item level gear right now, how are you going to atone the people who worked hard to get items such as poetics and final coil rewards, since they're most likely going to have to work hard again to get new gear which will be for level 60s? (or whatever the level cap increase is going to be raised too)

[Knives]

Are there any plans to add a feature allowing players to dye different sections of equipment different colors?

[Red_Mage_87]

Can there be a way to change the area Music, or turn it off all together when you are in the housing area? And can there be a Jukebox implemented in the game for personal and Free Company housing?

will we ever see extreme mode dungeons added? The hard mode dungeons are fun but not hard at all. Even if you restricted loot that's dropped id rather have a dungeon push me to my limits rather than a walk through the park.

Also have it to where if you wipe or all Ko'ed you are required to go back to the beginning of the dungeon; that would make it more challenging for players.
