Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXV Q&A Update Thread

[Bayohne]

Q19: Do you have any plans to introduce primal minions?

A19: Yes. We’ll start by adding an Ifrit minion in Patch 3.1.
(Images were shown of several primal minions, including Ifrit.)

Q20: In a previous interview, Yoshida mentioned that racial gear might become dyeable, but how is this progressing? Also, would it be possible to make Allagan, High Allagan dyeable for glamour purpose?

A20: We’re planning to add this as a crafting recipe in the future.

[Bayohne]

Q21: Do you have plans to implement a new community item?

A21: Of course! I promised to do this on stage during Fan Festival 2014.
(Images of the Gaelacat Cap were shown.)

Q22: When gathering shards, do you have plans to add a bonus which increases the yield depending on the gatherer’s level?

A22: It won’t increase the yield every level, but the trait added in Patch 3.0 (Nymeia’s Ward) which increases the yield for items without HQ. The proc rate is 10%.

[Bayohne]

Q23: When will you be implementing a furnishing that plays the music from the game we want to listen to?

A23: This has been planned since the dawn of A Realm Reborn. While we already have the spec sheet and music data, the developers have not yet completed their adjustments. However, we’d like to push for around Patch 3.2, so we’ll keep you updated.

Q24: Do you have plans to add 3.0’s Y’shtola and Ysayle’s hairstyle?

A24: We’re planning to introduce a set of equipment and hairstyle which will allow players to look like NPCs as Mog Station optional items. Minfilia’s hairstyle and equipment will be added. The price hasn’t been decided yet, but this one is female-only equipment. (Showed an image of characters dressed as Minfilia.)

Q25: When will you be implementing a bent version of the bunny ears from the Gold Saucer?

A25: (An image of the bent bunny ears was shown.)

Lord of Verminion

Q26: Do you plan on implementing an observer mode so that we can watch matches between other players?

A26: While I can’t promise which patch we will be implementing it, we do have plans to do this.

[Bayohne]

Q27: Are the minions earned from pre-order bonuses or optional item strong? I’m worried owning this or not will affect the outcome greatly.

A27: There aren’t any rare minions that cannot be obtained at the moment that will be overpowered when compared to others.

[Bayohne]

Q28: Yoshi-P, Hayashi, what are you favorite minions?

A28: (Yoshida) Baby Opo-opo.
(Hayashi) Tiny Tapir. I received this minion from a player I met in Eorzea. I’m especially fond of it because I received it despite it being quite difficult to obtain at the time.
