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

[Esper]

FFXIVs glamour system is decent considering the requirements to keep crafters part of it. That being said, it feels like it Really needs a simplification. Any chance we will see glamour prisms simplify from 1-5 to just 1 per expansion gear?

PvP
Can u plz add different rules and not just more maps for PvP. May be capture a flag.
Can u add an actual PvP reward for frontline duty roulette not poetic and soldiery.
If there's no hope for fixing Q times for PvP can u atleast look into something like a mercenary bottom? Example in the same areas as selecting a language before u Q u also can select mercenaries and able to join any grand company, and not just your own. That might help Q times. As of right now Q for PvP is garbage. Super slow.

Hi! Thanks for making and entertain us with this awesome game!! Will we get more options in character creation besides hairstyle? More face options in heavensward would be awesome!

Can you please add more eastern design armor. Do something like you did when you added the Koenig set for tanks in here and Ares set for dragon in here. Can I see something from ff11 and brought in here. Like the Usukane set, Kirin set and the Shura set plZ yoshi make it happen.

Also can you add more option for dying our armies. Example have the option to change the colors for each fingers. Or another example, body armor , change the shoulder pads different color and chest area a different color.

Can you please create an “Aetherial Teleport Address Book” or something similar that allows adventurers to register +20 or +30 of their favorite Housing Plot Locations to instantly teleport to a friend’s house?

Since more and more adventurers and free companies are taking advantage of the Individual / FC Housing Developments, it has become an extremely slow and cumbersome hassle to visit the houses of friends—especially with the introduction of subdivisions, and having to remember and mentally recall the various addresses (What Area? What Ward? What Subdivision? What Plot?) … Even more so, considering the work involved to just reach a friend’s house (I.E., sometimes having to visit a City State and use its Aetheryte to select the ward you want). There's too much busywork involved in simply getting to another plot / subdivision in a timely fashion.

I really, really liked the design the Housing Development team made for the Doman Partition. Especially with the door that automatically slides. Can you create more partitions with doors like this (one that open and close)? Like Rivera / Glade / Oasis / Alps / Royal style and so forth? It would be a huge boon to housing enthusiasts like myself who like to manipulate the partitions to create rooms inside houses.

I would like to get some of Good King Moogle Mog’s crafted i95 weapons and gear as glamours, or get the Regal Mailbox. However, the drop rate for Kingly Whisker is really low and has caused people to sell the Whisker for Gil in the MILLIONS on the Market Boards (currently on Hyperion server, Kingly Whisker has been at +2 Million Gil on average as a result, thus destroying any incentive for most players to go after it). Because Thornmarch Extreme is considered Old Content by this point, can you please increase the drop rate for Kingly Whisker?

Buying Crystal Shards for crafting gets really expensive in the long run, considering how easy it is to quickly burn through them with heavy-duty crafting. And having just BTN and MIN being the only two ways to get them (aside from killing Elemental Sprites on a DoW or DoM Class/Job) can become very time-consuming. Would you please consider increasing the effect of skills like Byregot’s Ward / Nald’thal’s Ward / Llymlaen’s Ward / etc. to increase the yield for Shards / Crystals? This would be helpful to serious, dedicated crafters who mass-produce items using Quick Synthesis, and it would also serve to hinder illegal RMT players who rely on price-gouging stacks of shards and crystals to sell Gil illegally online by making crystals easier to get for serious players who take the time to level up a gathering class to 50+ to gather shards.
