Thread: Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XIX! (Patch 2.5 Preview)

In the gold saucer, will we be racing the chocobos or will they be running around a track like a dog race?

The whitemage just got stoneskin 2, will it be cross classed to the scholar at some point?

Will we ever get an 8 dungeon?

Will we ever be able to add additions to our houses?

Can you please remove the MP cost for Sword/Shield oath? I really do not understand why it should cost anything to begin with. It's basically the same thing as Cleric Stance with the healers.

2) Duty Finder vs. Levequests/Guildleves

Currently, time to find a party for a variety of Duty Finder options, especially a damage class in Wolf's Den, Crystal Tower, Guildhests, or specific dungeons can take upwards 45 minutes to an hour. If during this time, the player elects to do Guildleves or Levequests, then when the duty finder does pop which can happen very unexpectedly, the player must choose to either cancel their Duty Finder que (which incurs a penalty) or else forfeit their Leve including any progress completed (as well as a penalty of losing the leve and having to retry it).

Has any thought gone into either allowing the duty finder to postpone (as in, you are re-entered into the duty finder que at a lower place in the duty finder que, essentially losing your current chance to enter for a small time)...or else making it so that a Leve is either forfeited with no loss of Leve allowance...or else allow you to pause the Leve until you return from the duty?

3) Duty Finder vs. Party Configuration

Currently, changing party configuration, regardless of whether you join a party (which frequently happens to get credit for a Hunt mob A class or S class), or when summoning your chocobo, causes you to leave your Duty Finder. As stated above, this could mean that an hour of wait time or more is forfeited by a player. Would it be possible to remove this restriction, such as have a chocobo companion out at the same time as being enrolled in duty finder or join a party while still searching in duty finder? (understood: a player would have to disband the party before accepting the Duty Finder, but at the least their wait time would not have been forfeited)

4) Glamour: 3-Slot Armors

Mention was given in previous dev interview: that the especially Herklaedi (Odin's Body armor), but then by default the Snowman outfit, and Chocobo outfit might be adjusted so that they are useable with the glamour system. Is development still being given as to how to add this item in the glamour system on an outfit that does not match the 3-slot configuration?

5) Multiple Glamours for one Item

With the introduction of the Forager's Crafting and Gathering Gear, and also with the sharing of gear between WAR and PLD or with the sharing of gear between MNK and NIN or else SMN with BLM or else WHM with SCH, many glamour combinations are not feasible. It is not feasible to have 8 different foragers crafting pieces, especially all melded out, just to have proper Disciple of the Hand glamours. It is not even possible to have multiple pieces for Disciples of War or Disciples of Magic which share equipment pieces for glamour purposes. Has any thought been given to the option of having one item with different glamours depending on the job/class, or else gear set, it is equipped upon? i.e. Would it be possible to glamour the gear set plus item, not just the item itself?
