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

[Sheri]

Announcement Feature Improvement

Would it be possible to improve the announcement feature of seasonal events or game announcements in the form of a ribbon displaying with an alert sound (to look at it) or something like that? It'll be a handy reminder for players who miss the information from the chat box.

When we'll be able to swim and go underwater finally? In 4.0 maybe?

[Munba]

Once it has been said devs would have added more 'life' around in the areas (more 'normal' fauna), like jumping frogs and crickets, butterflies, etc. but it seems we still have right only some fishes in the water and some birds in the sky so far.
And so natural random events like falling stars in the night, tornados and so on.

There is a possibility to have much more of this in the 3.0 and beyond? Maybe with directx11?

[Bryg]

Are there any plans to make a build focussed around the Parry stat more viable? Right now it seems like there is no secondary stat unique for tanks to try to upgrade, and all jobs just sort of focus on DET/crit rate.

Roulette

The current roulette system we have is kinda like a daily quest. But instead of that i would like to use them more for gearing, making gil etc. Are there any plans for roulette system, specially for low level roulette.

Chocobo Companions Attack, Defend and Heal. However, will there be abilities integrated in our companions to use with DoL; for example, a Chocobo helps digging increasing the gathering rate/perception/yield?

[Rufalus]

When do you plan to remove the PvP rank requirement for item level 100 and 110 PvP weapons, armor and accessories?

[Kallera]

When writing storylines for ffxiv. What is the intended role for the player character: an extension of the player's interactions, or a stand in for SE's predetermined character?

[Ramdragn]

Is there any plan to make a glamour book or crafting database style ui for glamour?

* When can we expect Au Ra naming conventions to be released?

*Are we getting any Othard lore before 3.0 is released?

*Will FC airships function like FC housing? Will we be able to buy crew quarters?
