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

how about we don't make suggestions that will lower the population of the game. a lot of players would outright leave if SE made it so that males cant play female characters or females can't play male characters. this game is not designed as a pickup for real life and making it that way for yourself is dangerous. there is also the fact that if they did this it would expost females and put them in a very dangerous spot with some males. not a good idea.

Lol it was a joke silly

Not sure if it's been posted yet, but I am still desperately hoping for job specific glamours. My Paladin and Warrior would prefer to have different looks, like Monk and Ninja too. Hopefully there is something in the works on this already, and if not I would really hope to see it sometime soon, or eventually!

Any chance we could get PvP specific / acquired furnishings? Items obtained by achievements so that we can decorate our homes and show off our dedication.
Thanks!

my question. not sure if it goes here or the heavensward thread but here goes
are the Au Ra being given to us as part of Heavenward or are they being released to everyone when the expansion is released? and if so how will use of them be handled. someone made the suggestion that if you changed to an Au Ra then tried to use that character on a platform you didnt buy heavensward on you would be locked out from using that character on that platform.
I would like to think their implimentation would be smarter than that. you can make them on the platform that has Heavensward and use them on any platform heavenward or not.
can you please give us some information in regards to this?

Environmental hazards:
Will we ever see quicksand, lava, ice or other dangerous terrains? These mechanics are in battles ... why can't they be open world dangers?

Light Steel and Taffeta Upgrades! Can we get some other versions of the coliseum gear? something with an allagan flair or maybe an Ironworks galerus/subligar set?

[Talshara_Blade]

Can we get a Morbol/Stroper Mount that does a Fragrant Breath action?

I'm a healer that likes to DPS, and as a healer that loves DPS... How will be the Astrologian in DPS? (We already know how they'll be healing, a wanna-be sch in one phase, and wanna-be WHM in the another one.... But how will their DPS patron be? SCH is very good against one target and decent AoE up to 4 enemies at the time. WHM is brutal AoE burst... Will Astrologian be brutal single target burst? Or have similar attacks to SCH in that stance and to WHM in the another?)

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.

What changes if any we will be getting before Heavensward Expansion? Perhaps something like Poetics uncapped?
