Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XX! (FFXIV: ARR)

[Kisik]

When will the Armoire get updated completely (there are still seasonal items from 1.0 that can't be put in the Armoire), and will it be kept up to date in the future?

[Ephier]

Currently a lot of ninjas are plagued with an issue known as mudra lag where mudras do not cast as intended due to lag related issues. This issue causes misfires, slow mudras, and double animations ( shuriken coming out while raiton is being casted). The question was already asked in one of the live letters and it was said that while it was not top priority it would be looked at eventually. Is there any possible way we could get an update on the status of the issue.

Is there any plan to add a 1 v 1 pvp match? Maybe even add stakes where the two characters could risk gil/equipment? Something on the lines of the Arena in TES: Oblivion, I know win trading would probably be an issue but I'd like to have pvp without being triple teamed.

Will there ever come a time when leveling via questing (hard to do when up to date on story/multiple jobs to 50...quest lists are becoming exhausted), levequest, or dungeon grinding isn't the only viable means of leveling? When playing FFXI, and even vanilla 1.0, exp grind parties were a common theme throughout much of the worlds of Vana'diel and Eorzea. Understanding that this style of mmo is not exactly in the same neighborhood as the aforementioned, can we expect, someday, maybe, to see an exp mob grind as a viable source of exp? I really enjoy the current setup, however, I almost feel that it isn't a Final Fantasy game without killing a mind-numbing amount of sand hares/lizards...hmmm...sounds like Cape Terrigan!

Can you please make rainbows in the sky a weather condition after it rains?

[Butcherboy]

Do u have any plan to fix PvP Q times or will it be slow again for expansion as well. It seems like PvP in here is being ignore.

[Butcherboy]

Are you planning on sticking to animal type set of gears for PvP?

Cloud of Darkness (Extreme)

Cloud of Darkness in Final Fantasy III was one of the hardest final bosses of any Final Fantasy. Can you please make the battle extremely challenging with a lot less players? Maybe bring back the original NES/Famicom melody?

Please give that evil demon some true justice with very hard difficulty!

[Veritas-Ancora]

Can we have weekly lore quests that tell us more about the history of Eorzea?


I am a lore junkie, I love knowing why Kefka went crazy, the history of the eidoloons, Dagger's real past, the legend of Gogo, the story behind Anima. These were all hidden in Final Fantasy side quests.

Please give us story quest once a week in old books finding out what happened to the Astral and Umbral eras, where Magitek armor came from, and hints to stories of old legends! Old school players will eat that up!

[Bonta-kun]

Are there any plans for increasing the drop rate of older CT raid vanity items?

With the progressive item level increases players are not really doing Crystal Tower or Syrcus Tower outside of their weekly carbontwine/oil quests. So those of us wanting to collect the minion or furniture items are looking at hour long queue times per attempt in addition to there being only a SMALL percentage the vanity chest appears let alone being the 1 out of 24 people lucky enough to get the item.
