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

[mbncd]

Will something extra be required to pass our current level cap of 50, such as a trial or a difficult quest?

Many games make you work very hard to pass caps like that so just wondering if FFXIV will follow suit and if so, in what way.

[mbncd]

Will Heavensward introduce any new LOW level content as well?

I want to know if new characters and unlevelled alternate characters will receive any benefit from having the expansion right off the bat, especially as it's also being marketed to completely new players in the ARR+HW combined pack.

As the original regions could be classified as low level regions, I'm also curious what sort of content may be added to them with the expansion.

Will there be an increase to the number of Favored Destinations we can set?

[Madruck]

With Heavensward coming out in less that 3 months, is there a time in where we will know certain details about the expansion prior to release such as how to become one of the new jobs and how the new gearing system is suppose to work?

[rainichan]

I'm not one to ask for FFXI things in FFXIV as they're two separate games, however with Steps of Faith giving us a dragon to fend off, it reminded me of the one thing I loved most in XI: Besieged.

So my question is: will we be seeing something similar to Besieged (which, there was something similar then in 1.0 with Hamlet Defense if I remember correctly) while we're in Ishgard?

Will we get a Helios fairy? Seeing there is a Greek Mytho around Selene, Eos, and Helios.

At what Level the new jobs Dark Night, Machinist and Astrologian will start? Level 1 perhaps?

[Joaru]

I'm very interested in the Machinist gameplay. Since we already have the Party Support DPS Bard, will Machinist be more of the Crowd Control DPS? Is it possible to give us a clearer picture of what will make Machinist a different playstyle compared to Bards?

Will chocobos get a level cap increase along with us? Or will he have a new buddy that can grow a little higher with us?

[alfangel]

Will be more Companions?
Will be the minion arena available someday?
