Live letter (again)

Q: I heard you like spicy food. How spicy are we talking here?

A: There’s a soup-style curry at a certain restaurant that is supposedly extremely spicy. I can eat it without even breaking a sweat.

‎‎Q: Yoshi-P, I bet you want a smoke right about now!
A: Haha. Yes I do! I would like a cup of coffee as well...

Q: What's the best part about online games in your opinion?

A: The most attractive aspect to me is that there are so many things to do and people to meet everyday!

Apparently it may just be Bard. I had read the translation post incorrectly when it said "Here is a Warrior image"! My mistake =)

Q: When you rank up in Grand Companies, what kind of good things will happen? Also, please tell us some of the rank names.
A: First, you will be recognized on the Grand Company Lodestone page! Also many good things will happen such as an increase in the number of company seals you can obtain. Give it a shot in 1.19!

Q: Are there any plans on improving the pugilist class?

A: You should see for yourself in patch 1.19!

Q: Why do we lose everything including gear when failing the 'forbidden' material craft? It seems like too harsh of a penalty!

A: Yes, the penalty is big. When you get all seven equipment slots set with 1 materia each, you will be very strong. If you want to be stronger, there must be a risk associated with it. Feedback on this will be welcome though.

Q: Can you give some pointers for beating ifrit?

A: The normal mode is pretty easy to beat. However, the hyper mode is going to be very difficult. You’ll feel the true power of a "god" in that fight! Multiple stages... horns... I've said too much already!

Q: Is Yoshi-p almost capped on accessory points? You’ve got a bunch of accessories!
A: Yes, indeed. I can put about 6 more though. lol

Q: What kind of other mounts will there be aside from chocobos in the future?

A: When we did a survey on the forums, we received a lot of requests for "Magitek Armor" as an example. Things like that will be a good reference going forward!

Q: Will we have the chance of meeting the leaders of the Grand Companies soon? What about the NPCs that appear in the main scenario?

A: You’ll get a chance to meet the NPCs that appear in the main scenario very soon. Also, there’s an ongoing event that the GC leaders are involved in. You’ll have the chance of meeting the leaders of each GC as well. Stay tuned!

Q: Do the developers think the rate in which players completed Dzemael was fast? Slow?

A: The community team predicted the first clear would be after about 8 hours. I predicted 3 days and it turned out it was pretty much that. So I think it’s just right. Ifrit is even harder, so good luck!

Q: How did you get started in the gaming industry?

A: Well, I wanted to write story scenarios to begin with.
I worked my way up from a large MMO-title and became director after that.
