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

[Veritas-Ancora]

How many locations will our FC airship be able to take us? Will it cost any materials to use it?

[Balipu]

With all immediate threats to Eorzea averted, I spend my time as a vampire hunter. It is a thankless job as there aren't any in Eorzea. Will my efforts bear fruit once I gain acces to Coerthas and Dravania?

[Balipu]

Did the story of Nael van Darnus come to a definite end in Coil Turn 9? He/she took a lot of usefull information with him/herself when he/she died.

[Balipu]

A bit off topic but what movie characters do you like appart from James Bond and Batman?

[JustinHiryu]

In 1.0, we had a character that we could pick to interact with us during the storyline missions that involved the Echo. I call this character the Echo Companion. Are there any plans to implement a form of this in Heavensward?

[LaurelinKementari]

Will we see more of the Doman children in Heavensward? I'd like to play hide and seek with them again.

Old-Fashioned Boss Battle Style

I would love a boss with panels that force you to play old-school Final Fantasy.

• Panels that force you to stand far back from the boss when not attacking.
• Set amount of time you're allowed to attack and return to panel
• Forced for only one person to take an action at a time, rest are stunned

An old-school battle like this would be incredibly epic for Hildibrand!

Will Heavensward introduce a reworking of the glamour system? Class/Race/Gender locking is overly restrictive.

Q: Can you ease up on the class and job restrictions for glamours to expand their use further?
A: We’re gradually easing restrictions, but since FFXIV’s setting strives to be a real fantasy role-playing game, there is a possibility that players who are new will become confused, so we’d like to maintain certain rules for glamours such that you cannot be a mage that is wearing heavy armor.

Vanity/glamor outfits:
Can we please get exclusive male outfits for vanity/glamor. At the very least can we please get the bunny outfit be made unisex. I want to be a cat/bunny boy.

With the introduction of DirectX 11, will we see an improvement in AMD graphics cards? Considering that currently, AMD graphics cards seem to develop a problem whenever "Use low-detail models on distant objects. (LOD)," and, "Cache LOD data only when necessary. (LOD Streaming)," are not checked On in the graphics settings that causes the game to crash either after x amount of time or in high-traffic areas like Mor Dhona.
