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

[Lukah]

Do you have plans to merge less populated servers together? Or to address the issue with low population servers? Coeurl for instance is slowly dying. Most of the player base in this server has left to more populated servers. After the first 2 weeks of new content, the party finder becomes a ghost town.

Is there any intention of addressing crafting mats being dropped at such a significant rate in the 2.2 and 2.3 dungeons still? The materials have become very inexpensive, and many players are frustrated at the amount of time spent trying to get item level 70 gear, that they will not need for gearing purposes, specifically for the sake of glamor. Possibly introducing a side chest to the bosses or within the dungeons that will drop the crafting mats, but allow for the bosses treasure coffers to have crafting materials moved out of them?

Are you planning to make materias more useful in future?
Are you planning to add more quests like primal focus?
Are you planning to address problems with low level instances in future (I believe later it will be much harder for new players to find a party)?
Do you have any plans to attract new players to come into this game?
Are you planning to rework old content to be still viable? (things like treasure hunts, crystal tower etc.)

[CaliFelth]

Have you considered implementing a system that lets players chat and party with players on other servers? After making new friends at Fan Fest, I would love to be able to play with them without having to start over!

Are there any plans for a Account wide storage system, so you can send alternate characters items easily, or also already Bound items such as Crystal Tower/Syrcus Tower,example. Bind only stuff to alternate characters?

SE... Can you PLEASE.. I beg you. Let me Glamour my Reindeer suit, with a regular set piece, so that I can wear it with my regular gear?

Pretty please.

Would it be possible to make a new piece of furniture for houses that acts as a record player? With crafters making a record player and using various items to make records to play different types of music when inside FC or personal housing?

For example, crafters making a record player then using a drop from Shiva Extreme to make a record that plays Oblivion in the free company house?

Will you ever allow duty finder to be more open world. Allow us to see our FC/Friends list. Allow us to summon our minions, and the option to invite your friends into the current Duty if another player decides to leave, but of course only for premade duties.

Thank you

CHOCOBO DUNGEONS CAN WE HAVE THIS!?!?!

Will PS3 support be phased out in favor of PS4 support? Some people have expressed concerns that the system would "hold Final Fantasy XIV back", like the PS2 supposedly did with XI.
