Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XX! (Heavensward)

[Renik]

Will heavensward have more meaningful open-world content than ARR? i'm talking about dungeons and bosses that drop gear or tomes equal to dungeons.

[Enthy]

When will we be able to turn off battle music?
When will we be able to turn off large notifications such "FATE JOINED, QUEST COMPLETE"?
When will we be able to turn off/down only the crowd noise? Not the whole ambient noise.
When will we be able to turn off glow effects on weapons and armor? (not just for self, but for others on my screen)
When will we be able to adjust the opacity of ground Area Of Effect indicators?
Will we ever be able to identify players that are on our same server by a glance in Duty Finder? (maybe an icon next to their name or have it displayed when you examine them

[Munba]

We'll see some 'open world' dungeons in Heavensward finally?

And what about istanced dungeons in which also gatherers can enter -separately- (once completed with battle job) to obtain special materials, avoiding mobs with Stealth ability?

[Munba]

There will be other tracks composed by Uematsu than main song/theme?

[Mari61]

well gamestop sell the Collectors Edition of Heavensward ? beacuse of now they are only selling the standard edition?

[Zetsumei_Tsunarashi]

Will there be any major changes to the battle system ? For example, the abolishment of the class system or a re-working of the stat point allotment system.

Hoping to get an answer to this for all of us who really love raiding in FFXIV and have concerns for it's future.

With three new jobs coming in Heavensward, totalling up to 13 jobs in the game. This will definitely lead to some jobs being less desirable than others for the 8-player raids. For certain one tank and healer job will be abandoned if the current 8-player raid design continues. Do you have any plans to combat this, perhaps to increase the raid sizes in the future, allowing more job variety and more complex boss designs?

[Iromi]

In Heavensward will we finally see open world content, like NM, Force pop NM that drop gear equal or better to tome/raid stuff. As the game currently stands, there is no use for alliances or any open world difficult content like this.

[Kemonologist]

When you will release about new class/job actions in 3.0?

[Phafi]

will there be access to facilities such as the market board in ishgard and other cities, or will we only continue to utilize existing ones?
