Letters from the Players to the Producer - Volume I

That's just coliseum galerus with dyed scholar AF skirt/beginner miqo'te skirt. Not sure on the boots, they look like acolyte but not sure.

I was more concerned with the skirt rather than the top actualy. It actually looks like a combination of the Miqo'te Loincloth and the Hyur skirt (Look at the thigh bands) as it's missing the thigh socks form the Scholar skirt. The boots look more the like Hyur thighboots than the acolyte boots (The acolyte thighboots only have laces in the front than back as well as the cuffs the shown boots lack).

Dear Yoshida-san and FFXIV dev team,

MMOs have been my game of choice for over a decade and FFXIV:ARR is the greatest I have ever played. There is no way I can express the full extent of my gratitude for this experience, the fun I have had, and the people I have met.

I cannot wait to see what you have cooked up for Heavensward. This game just keeps getting better every patch.

Thank you sincerely for all of your hard work,

Royal Atlas

Thanks devs for an overall fun game .

I would like to ask for some sort of bad luck protection for stuff like the relic chain so you will know that you will get the piece after X tries no matter what. As it stands you have some people getting things like the dungeon pieces in one run and someone else taking 100+. This gets very frustrating to the people who end up on the bad end of the bell curve for luck based drops.

I would also like to see things like the Master II books be a bit more forgiving. As it stands there is a massive amount of rng on how many tries it takes to get the 3 high quality pieces just due to the massive 8964 quality on the token items. If the difficulty stays that high then you should be able to turn in the normal for all the materials back. As it stands it makes the overall cost for the books vary by extreme amounts between players just due to the luck factor.

Then we get to desynthesis. It would be nice if either the cap of 3 was completely removed or if there was more equality between the professions. Since all professions are being asked to use fieldcraft demimateria III to get their weapons / books all forms of desynth should be able to yield these equally easily.

Dear Yoshi P. and Dev Team,

Thanks for making a wonderful game that both my wife and I can enjoy, as well as my best friend and I who are half a continent away from each other. You guys have made some of the most memorable story moments in Final Fantasy in years, and have built some of the most amazing dungeons I have played. There's never a dull moment!

Dear Yoshi and Development Team,

Thank you for creating such an immersive, engaging and entertaining world!

I spend more time crafting (and loving it!) than raiding, but that well-earned victory after a hard battle won...such a great feeling!

I would like to ask for a black coeurl mount to match the black coeurl kitten you can get from the Gold Saucer

Keep up the good work!!!

Thank you all so much for letting me have so much fun in FFXIV and Eorzea.

Keep up the great work. Yoshida and his team is just amazing ^^

Maybe SE Tokyo HQ should put a statue of Wandering Minstrel outside the building, similar to the Orc statue at Blizzard HQ YoshiP statue would be much cooler though

Hey Yoshida and everyone at Square Enix who work on FFXIV:ARR

You guys turned this into one of my most favourite MMO's I have ever played and I haven't stopped my subscription once for this game and that's good for me as I tend to get a little bit bored by mid level range on MMO's but this game before the second week of release I was level 50 and was like oh my god the Main Story is freaking cool, Ultima Weapon vs Garuda = badassery! ending = tears of sadness!

Love this game and you guys so much for making one of my most favourite games of all time.

Kind Regards

Ichirou Hayami (Jonathan)

Also petition for a statue of Yoshida/Wandering Ministrel at SE Head quarters! :3

Dear Yoshi-P and the Dev team,

I want to thank you all for the End of an Era video that plays on the launcher when idle. That video is amazing and I will sometimes just sit there and watch it and listen to the music. I also would like to say thank you for turning 1.0 into 1.23 before shutting it down and giving us FFXIV:ARR.

I understand the designs of the two games are vastly different and you cannot just port in a system like Hamlet defense without pretty much remaking it. Thus, making something completely new is more appealing to you.

That being said, some of the systems in 1.23 were vastly superior to what we have now, materia, secondary stats, and dungeon rewards to name a few. Right now, this game is great but it lacks diversity.

Even though we have glamours, everyone is still essentially aiming towards the same gear setups and cross class skills. There is nothing in the game to make us unique. Cross class skills are so limited that they do nothing to diversify players.

The game mechanics force all casters to get swiftcast, war to set provoke, whm to set cleric stance, blm to set quelling strikes, etc. Making a new entire gear set every couple patches is great and keeps us all playing, but why can there not be some extremely rare gear that can drop in dungeons/raids/trials that actually last.

I mean loot that scales with your level if you are worried about making items too powerful, such as a ring that gives +x stats/5 levels. You could have extremely rare tokens that can drop from these runs (small percentage higher for lower level runs maybe as incentive?) that you could trade in for these gear pieces once you have obtained enough. Having gear like this would allow players returning to not feel so overwhelmed trying to catch up after being unable to play for a couple patches.

Just my thoughts, anyways thanks again for the great game and I look forward to the expansion.
