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

[JLW]

How will your chocobo companion work? Will the flying chocobo fight with us or will we need to resummon our ground chocobo every time we dismount our flying mounts?

[Zplinter]

New jobs/classes:
1. Will you please clearly state what are the exact requirements to play them.
2. Will you please tell us what old world gear they can wear (if any) from coils, crystal tower, etc.
3. Other have asked and I agree: what are the cross class abilities they can use and what of theirs (and Ninja?) will be shareable
Overarching question:
I have a friend that is bored with game x and I tell him that we have a new expansion. What in the expansion is a hook/lure for the new player?

Thank you

When Heavensward comes out, will the low population servers merge with certain servers with a certain number of players?

[Nyghtmarerobu]

With the addition of Heavensward coming in a few months, can we expect to see poetics tomes uncapped before the release or after? And will we see echo for final coil before expansion as well?

[ToppeHatte]

How difficult is it going to be to level crafting classes from 50 to 60? Will it require us to be 4 star crafters or will it be more like the typical 1-50 progression?

[ToppeHatte]

Will advanced recipes in Heavensward require us to level all of our crafting classes to 60, or will the specialization system make it so that people can effectively "main" a class?

[Veritas-Ancora]

Will the "L50 level cap" be broken the moment we walk into Ishgard, or will new players be able to begin leveling as soon as they hit L50?

[ToppeHatte]

Are we going to see any kind of jumping puzzles in 3.0, akin to the Cliffhanger GATEs? Whether it be an overworld or dungeon activity, or something else entirely.

Will we see Free Company renaming coming in the future? I know I'm not alone in wanting to rename my FC because of changes in hierarchy or changes in focus I would gladly pay money to change my FC name.

What will be done to ease new players or characters through the 2.1-2.55 content? A new level 50 character will have an item level below 50, while the dungeons and trials in that content require up to item level 90 for entrance. Will there be new rewards added to the quest line, an easily obtainable set of gear from vendors or crafters, or what?
