Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXIII!

[ScarecrowJames]

Are there any plans to have retainers capable of the Companion function like with Chocobos?

Is there also any plans to rework the Companion feature and the ability to ride any mount while one is active, so we don't have to withdraw our companion to ride on one of our many different mounts?

Again I'd be very pleased to see my retainers out on the battlefield with me, as I can do with my chocobo.

last question from me.

There is some cool iconic gear in FFXIV sadly you have to use Glamour to use this function. Its quite annoying and unbearable. Can you add a Costume editor like how DC Universe Online? DCUO may not be the best MMO but compared to all MMOs its the one MMO that allows your character to look and feel fresh with ease while also still incorporating new armor styles to unlock. This would also help reduce Inventory space. No longer will we have to hold on to gear for cosmetic change. We could easily change our look on the fly as long as we have the armor Style.

Can you please allow a no minimum limit turn in for projects in que in the workshop? It would be nice for other members that don't have, example: 15 cobalt ingots to turn in at once, to be able to turn in 1 if they have it. That way FC members can all help in some way, even if it's just 1 item to turn in.

Are you going to rebalance astro class to make it useful. Currently with WHM and SCH, AST does not fit in with these they lack the benefits of both classes but have actions like them.

[Scura]

Can you please make it so the race you choose has no stat increase/decrease? EXAMPLE: Some of us healers would like to play Seeker of the Sun because we like the eye slits instead of Keeper of the Moon. Same goes for Au Ra, some may like the black scales compared to white, but we are stuck with choosing features we don't want because they are all stat based.

Could we please have some animation enhancements for MCH?

A kneeling stance for Gauss Barrel, a plasma bolt for Gauss Round, a tracer round for Rook Autoturret, a more impactful Satellite Beam shot (wider, lasts longer)?

I feel very much that they're lacking in the visuals department.

Will there be any addressing the fact that you cannot fly straight up on a flying mount by moving forward, but only at an angle? Flying downwards, you can fly completely verticaly, but not upwards.

Hold down your jump button to fly straight up.

Will you please do something about all the constant cheating in the Triple Triad Tournaments?

Many of the changes you've made since release have actually favored the cheaters more than anything--it's backwards...

I just finished running though the library and was interested in checking the place out more, however being in a dungeon group its not very constructive to focus elsewhere.

My question would be in the future would the dev team be willing to open this place up and have toro/saro roggo act in a similar fashion to the post moogle, giving side quests that open more books on lore within the library ?

With the game moving away from classes and focusing on jobs would it be possible to assign our retainers to jobs rather than classes only? The current system can be an inconvenience for those who want to play jobs without a class counterpart.

Red Mage for 3.4, please?
