It's difficult...

[BreathlessTao]

Is it just me or did this seem like the Live Letter that was difficult? Just leaving these here...

Q4: Currently, there seems to be some lag involved with the casting of the mudras. Are there any plans to address this in the future?

A4: This is something that is difficult for us to adjust because it’s hard to confirm as there are aspects that are related to the filter for how OS packets are being sent.

Q6: You previously mentioned each job will have their own limit break. Could you provide more information on this?

A6: It may be difficult to prepare three different limit breaks per job so we have decided to adjust the level 3 limit break used by each job. As an additional note, we are currently working on creating a new limit break for dragoon!

Q12: Currently, all of the high-level crafting recipes require materials obtained via desynthesis and items obtained by trading tomestones, and the gatherer classes do not have much involvement. Are there any plans to adddress the balance so that the gatherers can be involved more?

A12: While the Armoury system is one of the main features of FINAL FANTASY XIV, this system makes it difficult for certain classes to take an active role in the development of the economy.

Q19: Are there any plans to implement an inventory specifically for fishing lures/bait?

A19: Unfortunately, it is very difficult to add inventory. In order to add inventory, we will need to increase the character data and if the character data is increased, more data must be transmitted to the servers. This may cause increased loading times when you move to a different area as well as lag.

Q20: Can you add a lot more hairstyles, facial hair, and other types of face paints?

A20: When it comes to hairstyles, we have to make very fine adjustments to the graphics for portions that stick out of equipment and those that do not, and we do our best to release 1-3 hairstyles in each patch. We previously added new face paint in the past, but we didn’t really receive much feedback as to whether they were good or bad, so we’ve been allocating our resources to adding hairstyles. Finally, facial hair is connected to the amount of character date transmitted, so it’s difficult at the moment.

Q21: A new playable race will be introduced in the expansion, but are there any plans to introduce additional character creation options for the existing races?

A21: Unfortunately, it is very difficult to add more character creation options. We will try to increase the amount of character options via glamour (i.e. using hair extensions introduced in the upcoming Starlight Celebration event, etc.).

I know certain parts are actually just so, alright and justified. But...well.
