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

Can the female battle stance (not including pose) be changed to a more appropriate feminine Stance?

[EternityInBlack]

Can you give us an update on what's being done with the Duty Finder and Companion Chocobo being out? Right now I'm not even able to use my Companion Chocobo since I'm mostly waiting for Duties to show up and this hasn't been discussed for a very long time.

Is there anyway to increase amounts on gil, increase the amounts on alexandrite/lights, make drop rates better, shorter animus books, increase and uncap poetics, make npc's selling material?

I have duplicates of Rare Cards from playing so much Triple Triad. It's a shame to either toss them or sell them to the card trader at the Gold Saucer. At some point in the future, will cards be finally Tradeable or Sellable? It would be nice to give the cards as gifts or rewards to friends.

I have a suggestion for this. make an NPC in the Gold Saucer that lets us pick a player who does not have the card from our friends list or FC list and the NPC will then hold the card for that player. not much more inconvenient than what we have now but lets us give our extra cards to players who dont have them.

Another question, sorry if this has been asked already:

in Final Fantasy 11, 1st expansion (Rise of the Zilart) requires player to finish main story of original FF11. Why following same formula with Heavensward?

And for future expansion (if there's any), would it also requires completion of Heavensward main story, or would it be separate story like XI's 2nd expansion and so on?

clearly you didn't play XI long enough to realize you only have to defeat the Shadow Lord(Rank 5-2 in one of the main cities) to access the Zilart story and Dynamis(lvl 65+ access) that is nowhere near finishing the main story at all.

Can we block irl guys from making female characters???

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.

[Wildsprite]

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?

[Talshara_Blade]

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?

[zaknefein]

will relics be continued on from their zeta state, or will they become totally obsolete in heavensward and onward?

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?)
