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

[MFFranceschini]

There will be (in time) any pre-order on steam?
It's not fair to buy the game again on windows to have the pre-order bonus. There's is so many restrictions and spectulations on the internet can we have an answer about how this will work for steam players?

Is there any chance in a future patch to make not accepting going in duty finder only penalize the party members that don't accept?

In one of the Main Scenario Quests, I remember Minfilia talking to someone named Krile via linkshell, and as of 2.4, she's still recovering from the Isle of Val incident. Will she make an appearance anytime in Heavensward?

Right now, in all forums, including the Live Letters, I see Profile images of many characters from only the Hildibrand sidequests, like Godbert, Nashu, and even Hildibrand himself, not just on my account, but everyone else's on forum posts. Is it a hint that Hildibrand will return for Heavensward?

He is already confirmed to have a story arc in Heavensward but not at release. (This is an April Fool's day joke, I believe they did something similar before last year)

Question Time! Can you show us any new monster models/sprites you'll be adding to the game? You don't have to reveal the name or anything but would be neat to see some of the horrors that await us in Heavensward!

Will we see the Wind Drake from earlier Final Fantasy games return in Heavensward?

SUBJECT: New Poses and Emotes

Will Heavensward introduce more or even another set of emotes and poses for your player character?

With the coming of patch 2.5.5, it seems as if the Au Ra are not going to be formally introduced in the Realm Reborn content cycle at all, with no real mention being made of Yugiri's unmasked appearance outside of a brief comment on her attractiveness. Is it the intent that Au Ra will simply be dropped into the world on day one of early access with no further lead-in, or will early Heavensward quests address their addition to the adventuring ranks of Eorzea?

Can we expect to see the Samurai class make a reappearance in the entirety of Heavensward, or will we have to wait until 4.0...

Currently, the only place I can find to pre-order Heavensward in the USA is on the Square-Enix Online Store, and it is only the Box standard and Collector's Edition.

I would like to pre-order the Digital Download version. When and where will that be available?
