Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXIII!

Not Spoiling (hopefully) but we have seen different looks for lovable tailed pets and were originally promised new egi's for summoner which now seems to be turning into a glamour system (which sucks because that means the summoner pets are limited to earth, fire, and wind attacks when we all know ice, water, and lighting are so much better), so:

Please tell us if we will at least have to unlock the primal egi's glamours like we did during the 2.0 job progression? I personally would be okay with having to glamour as long as I still get to fight it in order to have it.

As for the other, we were gifted those with the leveling up of Archanist, so I have no idea how your intending to deal with that glamour since the class line seems to have stopped with 3.0 content.

Will you ever consider implementing any changes to the dye system in Heavensward? We have many games which give you multiple options when it comes to dyeing gear, so it would be nice to see something similar in FFXIV which allows us to pick 'color 1', 'color 2', etc. to change or dye the entire piece of gear if we choose.

Without going into specifics, could you tell us how you handled the RMT spam? I haven't received a single RMT message since the release of Heavensward and it has made the experience so much better, so I want to thank you for whatever countermeasures you took to finally resolve this issue!

With the nerf to BLM's Flare spell, our AOE dps has been impacted significant, especially for short fights.

SMN's Deathflare has a 400 potency and doesn't reduce with each enemy, and not to mention INSTANT cast and 9mp cost,
so why is Flare significantly underpowered considering it is a spell that uses ALL of the MP pool and 4s cast time, shouldn't it be more appropriately adjusted?

Becuase Flare can be spammed and Deathflare is on an effective 60s cd so the spells are not directly comparable. The only way Flare can get a potency similar to Deathflare would be put it on a 60s cd.

well I would rather Flare be strengthened and be put to a 60s cd, than having it awfully weak and spammable, we already have fire2 for that.

Anyway, traditionally in all previous FF, Flare is served as a high-end spell (though usually single target), and considering its full MP cost, it shouldn't be made as a 2.5 cd spam-able spell anyway, they should change it.

I would rather it be remade to a spell which damage dependent on the remaining MP, hence higher remaining MP = more damage and make the cd 60s or even 180s if the damage is appropriately scaled.

Warrior of Light
The Warrior of Light power is enroaching into the realm of God now. Are the player characters going to get a God form and become the main embodiment of the Twelve.

I have so many questions piled up so excuse my post spam. Also I looked through the thread but I might have missed something and say it again.

Will we have more of Hildibrand and post moogle quests?

Summoner
Can Summoner get the ability to Summon Hydealyn and the Twelve since they are the only deities that can be actually summoned

Considering mudras' lag wont be fixed without a rework of the system, would you consider to do a second job for Rogue class? Specifically a Thief job more based on stealth mechanics since is one of the most iconic job in FF lore? For those who enjoy the Rogue/Thief archetype but cant really enjoy it because of lag or ping?
