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

[Adrian74]

I'm a healer that likes to DPS, and I can't really love any healing class if I can't use my remaining time to help the party attacking....

Will be have more accuracy in the future? Perhaps Cleric Stance buffing it for us?

Accuracy is currently very troublesome.

[Adrian74]

I'm a healer that loves to DPS, and that was very rare in PvP... Because nobody in the party liked to die if their healer tried to perform cleric stance after all.... But now, nobody wants to DPS with a healer in PvP, rather, Nobody wants to heal in PvP

Will cleric stance come back? (You know the imbalance in PVP with premade healer parties was the fact of being able to stack Regen and Medica II... The use of cleric stance requires a lot of skill, even more in PvP where you can't just foresee, as in PVP, the enemy attacks and how much they'll do. Going cleric stance is a risk that requires all your attention and a lot of practice and reflex to use in PVP... Now, healers feel just... Plain and boring there.

Have there been any advancements on the release of Final Fantasy X|V for the Xbox One and if so, may we have any hint(s) on the status?

[Beckett]

When, precisely, is the new Benchmark being released?

Would you consider adding special consideration for the level of a character's weapon to the gear requirements to enter an instance? It is not uncommon to see inexperienced players in i70 or i90 content with weapons as low as level 40-something; this can hurt the party badly, especially for a tank or healer. It's also not very clear without reading a guide where to obtain level 50 weapons (though this may change when leveling gear is added for Heavensward); having at least an i55 weapon is useful until a player earns their Relic.

I think we heard that there would be no "FanFest" in 2015. I recognize that this takes a lot of executive time as well as staff coordination to accomplish, but are there plans to have some sort of event where adventurers can come together for a 2-3 day period and enjoy the camaraderie we've developed during the past 2 years?

Please take Sword Oath and Shield Oath off of the Global Cooldown and remove the MP requirement.

Warriors can switch their stances without interrupting their combos, why can't Paladins?

[Beckett]

Are there plans to introduce (lots) more housing items with the expansion?

[JensenBeach]

is there a date when we will see Fcob in Duty finder and will see Echo ?

It takes a fair amount of time and effort to complete the dungeons and obtain the items necessary to turn your relic weapon into a Zodiac Weapon. However, too often it takes several runs, sometimes 10 or more, to obtain a single item. Is there a chance that the drop rate for the dungeon related items will be increased before the expansion?
