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

In short, summoners have slowly been receiving degrading gear over the updates (I hear this was intentional). Apart from their gear, their ability to maintain DPS and MP has become a huge problem in this new patch. Since most fights are 10+ minutes in FCoB, summoners have become a questionable class to play in comparison to the other DPS classes. Will there be a summoner buff similar to the dragoon buff we received in patch 2.45 that is currently being reviewed and considered? Preferrably one that has adjusted MP consumption of certain frequently used skills?

I pretty much know the answer to this already but is there a possibility we can be able to change the color of the glowing parts on the iron works gear such as the visors?
Just wondering as I really want to change my visor color to red so I can pretend to be like the mobile suits from Gundam with the E.X.A.M system enabled lol

Stop going on about the cash shop they made it clear that it will not be involved with game content such as the expansion and I highly doubt that it will Involve the Gold saucer since it has been in planing way before the cash shop was thought of. The cash shop will not have a part in the expansion unless they are going to have an option to directly buy the expansion as a option to those who don't want to get a hard copy of it.


Now on to important things since i do want a hard copy when will the expansion be available for pre order i want that collectors edition.

I would like to get a simple yes/no on if we will ever see the following related to personal housing:

1 - Cabana's and/or trees with hammocks over full houses for personal housing?
2 - upgradable plots (small through large)?
3 - Custom or friend allowances to access personal houses?
4 - Additional house construction options (totally different looks for the Mist/Goblet/Beds houses, but still something that pertains the area.)

Thanks!

Can I get a simple yes/no on if we will see the following chocobo mechanics brought into the game:

1 - have a 2nd chocobo to act as a pack animal/wagon carrier and use them for additional item storage?
2 - have a chocobo that can swim like the Shaggrin's water beast?
3 - have them either get equipped with blinders or some helm that will allow them to enter into dungeons/caves?
4 - Will we see an expansion on their skill set?

I would like to get a simple yes/no on the following"

1 - being able to setup an "camp" and "tent" out on the world map?
2 - an "Auto Gather" ability for the Miner and Botanist. The player does the 4 locations, then can auto gather ( x # of mins and the drops are based on their stats.) Since the lvl cap is currently lvl50, make it work up to lvl 30 gathered items?
3 - a gearset for exploration of the open world and abilities to get to currently unaccessible areas like the temple at high bridge or the revine below it...and the deep desert of Thanalan?
4 - When boats are added to the game content (per Yoshi-P we can expect this probably between 3.0 and 3.5) will the boats work on the fishable dunes in Southern Thanalan?

Will there ever be any sort of PvP type of play where one FC could battle over another FC of the same size for maybe FC trophies or possibly banners for the FC house? A gladiator season series every so often possibly?

How many subscribers are there currently worldwide?

Are we going to see anymore ff11 related gear set here, example usukane set, Kirin set or the shura set for monk and ninja?

1 why have you decided to use 2 dungeons that are all ready level 50 will they be some how involved in the story.
2 will we go beyond the door that's behind the chests of treasure that was in the Tonberry Kings boss area that's all ways had me curious when I saw it behind the exit warp.
3 will there be a whole set of new gear like what the dungeons in 2.3 had.
