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

[Daioh]

There are 2 heavily requested fights: "Ultima's Bane Extreme" a much more challanging fight where Ultima has absorbed all the Primals,and a fight where we can battle "Gaius Van Baelsar" and he's "Officers of the XIVth Legion". In an old live letter you mentioned you thought of doing this but had a better idea,is this idea still happening?

[Daioh]

Long ago you mentioned the idea of "Wandering Primals" which we could capture,is this idea still happening?

[Daioh]

Long ago you mentioned the idea of letting all of our minions run around freely in our rooms,is this idea still happening?

[Daioh]

Will our minions ever get to stay out even if we summon our Chocobo Companion or our Mounts?

[Daioh]

Why is it that a Dragoons "normal" jump is no different then any other class/job? I find it odd that Dragoons who are masters of jumping don't jump higher then everyone else,at the very least they should have a different jumping animation.

I had an idea: "Chocobo Glamours"

People keep requesting that we get new Companions and I understand that is difficult to do,so I thought:"Why not make our current Chocobo Companion able to look like other mounts/allies/enemies?" The idea is that we can use some Glamour magic to freely make our Chocobo look like something else,that way if you want a Goobbue fighting along side you,or a Coeurl,you can use this,but it's really just our Chocobo that "looks" like something else!

Would you consider adjusting the missed queue accept penalty/3-strikes, if the player has been in queue for a set duration and/or the party drop penalty when you leave literally the moment when the final member joins?

There have been several times that many of us have been in queue for over 30 minutes, sometimes more than an hour (maybe not consecutively) and we miss the queue for whatever reason. There have been times that queues have popped after I attempt to drop from the DF after waiting almost 2 hours, causing me to take a hit. This is just the same as when waiting in a duty for members to join, you decide to leave near the exact moment the party fills causing you to gain a 30 min penalty. I understand and agree with the need for the penalties, but not under all circumstances.

In regards to Alexander (if it wasn't asked about yet)

Will there be a difference in loot between Alexander Normal vs Alexander Hard
If there is a difference, what will it be?

It would be fair to have loot that can look the same between normal and hard raid modes, but have stats pertaining to the level of the raid. If the gear and stats are the same, that would be fine too.

(i.e. Gear from normal mode has lower stats than loot from hard mode, but they look the same)

Will we ever see more outfits from Lightning Returns:FFXIII? Preferably Lightning's Equalibrium and Snow's outfit in Lightning Returns, would like to see the others, but HUGE fan of Lightning & Snow.

Glamour Vanity Items

At the moment high heeled shoes don't actually make you taller, they just cut off part of your legs and replace them with heels.

Can this be changed so that high heels actually make the character taller? If it can be fixed, how likely is it to be fixed? Assuming that this is fixed; is it likely a range of vanity high heeled shoes, with a range of heights, will be made available?
