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

[Arkenne]

As mentioned in the last Letter, it was confirmed that there are hints of you guys working on a system that will allow players to explore lower level dungeons on their own.

However, are you guys taking into consideration that this system be also able to work with Duo and Trio parties?

What will be the party formation for the Crystal Tower?

Hi! Thank you for answering questions!

Have you ever considered adding mounted emotes specific to each mount? For example, being able to rear up your horse using the "rear up" command? The game has many horse-like mounts, so it should be easy to apply the animation for many of them.

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.

My 14 Questions for the Developers of FFXIV:

1) Duty Finder: Wolf's Den

Currently, time to find a party within the Duty Finder for Wolf's Den take upwards 45 minutes to an hour or more. Are there any plans in the works to make the Wolf's Den more accessible to a variety of classes (for example, if the duty finder can not make two traditional tank/healer/melee/range groups, then perhaps matching a different party setup of melee, melee, range, range vs. a party of the same setup)

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?

6) Dyeing i90 Gear

Will the Hero's Gear (i90 Disciple of War and Disciple of Magic) Armors be made dyeable at any point?
