Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXIII!

Will any incentive be added to encourage people to return to The Binding Coils? It is currently very hard to find a good group that wants to clear it.

Will there be trophies added for Heavensward on PS3/PS4? Most game expansions do have trophies and it would be a good extra incentive for consoles players to have.

Will FFXIV ever implement more advanced post-process AA such as SMAA 1x, 2Tx, 4x; or via Nvidia Gameworks, TXAA 2x and 4x? This game suffers from so much aliasing and noise, it ruins the otherwise beautiful artwork and lighting.

How about MSAA with alpha coverage now that we have a DX11 client?

Lastly, can the UI please be at least given more scaling options to accommodate the many different screen resolutions out there? How about a resolution-INDEPENDENT UI that is based on relative size to screen instead of finite pixel size of UI elements?

This would allow people to actually read stuff on 4K screens as well as allow for people to use downsampling as an alternative anti-aliasing method.

Are there any plans to add more Gold Saucer prizes in the future? We still do not have axes to glamour.

Are there any plans to continue the story of Edda and Avere? I know a great many people have been dying (no pun intended) for a continuation. She's easily one of my favorite characters in the game.

Hey, will more flying mounts be added? I want a Pegasus!

Are there any plans to implement Joke Weapons for glamour purposes? Like comical, impractical things like food or household objects that no one would utilize as weapons.

There's certainly been precedent for it with Square Enix; like in Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core, Zack fights monsters in Costa del Sol with a beach umbrella. And in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, each playable character can equip silly-looking weapons; a sandwich instead of a lexicon, a pot lid instead of a shield, a hair dryer instead of a gun, a broom instead of a lance, and so on.

I've seen firsthand how the playerbase loves to joke around with silly-looking glamours, and implementing joke weapons to match is something that will be sure to delight them.

I'd like to see more Gold Saucer additions. I only go to the Gold Saucer for the Mini & Jumbo Cactpots and Chocobo Racing. Have you the desire to add more games, quests, or personal housing? If I want to farm Manderville Points, I find myself doing Triple Triad outside of the Gold Saucer.

I'm pretty sure someone in the thread already asked this (I haven't read through the questions), so just in case someone didn't bring it up. Will the esoteric gear look like AF gear like when myth gear came out in 2.0?

Hi everyone,

Hope this come availible in the future.
Is there a way you can do a Duty Finder too choose friends from other server?
The reason I asked is that I have a couple of friends that are on difrent servers because of the disliking of each other so they went to there own server where they feel the most welcome to but I'm in the middle of the friends line and it made me sad that those friends spilt up to difrent servers. I think there will be more people that feels the same way or have experienced it. I thinking also for the lodestone that you can make friends there from other servers that you know.

Kind regards,
Paito Maito
