Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXIII!

Will there ever be a jukebox housing item? The housing wards music can sometimes get repetitive and a jukebox with different songs from the game that we can have playing in our house would be a nice addition. There could even be new songs that we can obtain through the game such as for example the Gold Saucer or a rare drop from dungeons.

Hi Yoshi-P and all SE team! I just want to share my fan art of Heavensward to you guys =)! I have always been a fan of your game since I was very young age. The game system, character design, animation, voice acting, and music was amazingly done. I really love the flying mount, makes me feel like I am above the world ! I have always believe that one day my art work may able to reach you, and I was very very happy last year my artwork really DID reach you in the Las Vegas fanfest. Please continue making an amazing work. I hope one day, not just my artwork, but I myself can reach you Yoshi and the SE team !



This artwork was inspired from my favourite background song in HeavensWard, Aetherochemical Research Facility Dungeon ^^!

Was wondering about issues with freedom of movement. It's really a very minor issue but it does get annoying at many times. Example would be theres some places you can't jump over a small fence even though on the other side its not considered a restricted zone, and the many rocks along a certain path, some could be jumped on and some couldn't be on the same path. Say North Shroud for example, you can't jump into the river to cross over from point A to point B while in Central Shroud you can. As again it's a very minor issue, but it does get rather annoying. I am sure you can't swim in this game like many others eg; GW2, but at least let cross over rivers and jump on top of rocks along a path just for kicks.

The skill Unconscious Collective seems lack luster in comparison to the other healer class move alternates, Sacred Soil and Asylum, respectfully, are there any plans to adjust the numbers on this skill or is it functioning as intended?

In the time I've been apart of the FFXIV Community and the Veteran FF player I am, There's been some things that stood out like a thorn of a rose.

1.Can you please add UP and DOWN arrows on quest objectives when dealing with multi level areas

2. Please add Chocobo Rental to all Chocokeepers instead of Porter only. (low level players not yet having joined a Grand Company will appreciate this.)

3. Please expand the Housing lots especially for Private homes. (This is a feature that just seems awesome to be able to have your own home and decorate how ever you like but when I went to pick out a plot it was full and was heart broken that there was actually a set number of plots on a first come first serve basis. )

P.S I've made lengthy questions because I was explaining in detail the situation. You may use any part of this post. I know a lot of the community, regardless of country or server would be extremely be happy with these changes

With airships being new content going forward, many free companies now desire a workshop, especially those who have been created or have became active with the new expansion.

Unfortunately, this is not feasible for many guilds due to a workshop requiring a free company house with no land available on a multitude of servers, how will you address the lack of available housing plots?

Will you allow players to relink their SE account to another PSN account?
Right now both Realm Reborn and Heavensward are unavailable in the PlayStation Store of some regions (Russia), and people who have already started to play on PS4 are forced to switch to PC or to abandon their characters and start anew by creating a new PSN account.
Most people keep playing Realm Reborn and have no access to Heavensward. Game keys from box versions of Heavensward are incompatible with the existing Russian PSN accounts. Support is unable to solve this problem.

Would you consider to get rid of classes making the lore the reason of that? For example: At the end of 3.0 story line some big disaster makes classes useless and requires some natural evolution of them. So Archer will become Ranger job, Rogue become Thief, Conjurer goes Geomancer and so on. Instead of giving new jobs for the next expansion would be great to have a rework of class system with some becoming new jobs. (its just a matter of giving them 10 new jobs skills, should be easier to do a new job from nothing)

Will the devs ever put persistent facial expressions on characters.
For Example: my characater could have a /annoyed look on her face without having to spam the /annoyed emote button, or have the /alert emote facial expression look stay on your face until you type /alert again or /straight face? Or keep a /straightface while in combat stance?
I've been asking myself this questions ever since patch 2.4, but didn't care enough. haha

Are there any plans in the future to perhaps add more songs to the Bard Job? Would be nice to see something similar to songs implemented in Final Fantasy XI such as "Knights Minne", "Valor Minuet" or "Army's Paeon". I believe songs such as these that increase atk, def or HP regen of the party members would add more appeal to the Bards support role to a group. I would really like to see this.
