Questions and Feedback on the Future of FINAL FANTASY XIV

[Venat]

Can we start getting more lengthy content that cant be done in a week. Something repeatable and can grow overtime and be completed.

[Kallera]

Will the updates to the graphics engine involve changes to the current clipping issues currently caused by cloth physics?

[Gretious]

Q: Will the problem with the Nvidia Optimus Tech Card be resolved. Currently unless your in Full mode Else the game will crash it seems.


Q: When will you be adding more region. Currently Many people are in regions that cannot play this even if they are playing there are problem with payments and so on once you implement it. Not to mention SEA region is messed up with Both US and Euro FF14 Availability.

Q: Add direct Credit/Debit Card Option. The current Payment option is horrible.

Q: Add more quest the current amount of quest. Especially for New Players there are just too little

Q: If Beast master is coming back for crying out loud can we make it into a Perm Pet instead of a 10 or 20 min latter back stabbing pet.

Q:Will we ever get to flying those battle airship shown in the Starting Cinematics it would be cool lol.

Q: Any Chance that Gun Wielding Job will be implemented soon?

Q: Can You please don't implement the language specific Server. Whether cross region server is still available or not. It kinda kills the uniqueness of FF online that was set by FF11. To Give an example its like playing FPS that emphasize more on melee then range

Sorry, its 60 pages long I can't look back at every single question to see if my list has doubles.



After 1.19 Questions

Can you make the cure critical graphic a little bit more noticeable?

Can you tell us the caps for all the materia so we don't waste precious gear and time grinding? HP is 280, what about the others?

Mage weapons are a bit lacking with the new stats, HQ's aren't useful, mages don't melee, will this be fixed?

Mage gear is lacking, Conjurer healers still don't have good hand armor, why are mages so unfavored with gear?

The animation lock is pretty ridiculous, it has kept us from cleaing Ifrit multiple times. Will this be fixed?

How come incapping certain body parts (i.e. Ifrit's Horns) doesn't noticeably effect the fight?

I have Archer but I don't play it, but it's apparent after the nerfs they need a burst WS to keep up with other jobs.

Can you please add the queue for skills back in?

Ifrit is a very punishing fight, not many casual players will get far, was this intended to be very very hard?

From a player that enjoys challenging content, but doesn't want to play for countless hours, I applaud you on the Ifrit fight. Thank you!

Please fix the animation lag & lock, it has killed us far too many times.

When a heal spell crits, can you make it say it crits in the log please?

Cowls don't seem to have enough native stats in comparison to a head piece + body piece. Will this be adjusted?

Does Intelligence effect Magic Crit Rate? Is it possible to display Critical Hit %'s in our stat menu please?

Staves right now don't have much of a benefit over Wand + Shield, the materia barely makes up the difference, will this be adjusted?

Why did you choose to distribute loot the way you did for the Ifrit fight?

Siphon MP no longer seems to matter if the target is alive or dead for MP return, is this intended?

How come abilities like Raging Strike and Ferocity don't increase our Attack Power in our Attributes panel?

The chocobo escorts need to be immensly reduced in difficulty or reward a lot more grand company seals.

Is there a possibility to see Goblin Airmen? http://tinyurl.com/3gty9ys

Can you please put a debuff or a recast timer on items such as Potions and Ethers?

Why is there no Enhancment Magic Potency or Enfeebling Magic Potency materia?

When will we be seeing Tonberry monsters?

Can we get some better mage shields? I'm still using the Vintage Square Shield because it has 3 Magic Accuracy on it -_-;;

Will we ever see a dash button for our chocobo mounts?

Instead of standing in a single spot to regenerate MP, why not add a /rest command-hot key like in FFXI?

Will we ever see "2-hour"/"ultimate" abilities? Perhaps on a 30 minute cool down?

We need more Moogles in the world, the cities feel very empty

Is there a epic dragon ready to be implemented into the game, something like Fafnir from FFXI?

Will the animation lag and animation lock be resolved by the time you implement PvP?

Usually when we see you Yoshi, you're wearing scarfs. How many do you have?

Will you guys be pushing advertising a lot better/more this time for the PS3 release?

Can we get a flying punch or flying kick moves that allow the Pugilist/Monk to instantly jump or teleport to the monster?

Will Black Mages/Thaumaturges get a teleport spell for battle? Teleporting themselves out of harms way or to get to places faster?

Will White Mages/Conjurers get Enhancement Magic Potency abilities?

Will White Mages/Conjurers get Healing Magic Potency abilities?

Will Black Mages/Thaumaturges get Enfeebling Magic Potency abilities?

Will caster classes get an ability that increases magical crit rate and/or hit?

Can we fish up monsters like in FFXI please? Or possibly fish up a secret/optional boss in a future raid please?

Can we mine rocks or chop down vines to get to a secret/optional boss in a future raid please?

Can you please show DoT damage on screen and in the log so we aren't guessing please?

Why is it possible to see no weapon drops from Ifrit? That seems like a real slap to the face.

When will we get our Reraise spell? Tractor spell? Holy spell?

Can you revise the Ifrit mage weapons? A lot like FFXI mage weapons, we don't melee things, so the added fire effect is useless.

Can you revise the Ifrit mage weapons? Perhaps Fire Magic Potency? Both weapons are behind current NQ crafted weapons by a lot.

Does the development team even parse data and rotations for jobs when you balance? Archer is incredibly behind in damage now.

Can you please show DoT damage in the log?

Are you planning on charging 50% since you've made public that the game is 50% complete for relaunch?

Charging for the game doesn't really make sense right now, maybe when jobs are released.

Why is the Sorcerer's set and Sipiah's set Unique/Ex, but not Sentinels?

Why is it possible to get nothing but Dark Matter from Ifrit? We've even got nothing but DM when we broke 2 horns.

How come I have nearly 100% accuracy? Kind of makes accuracy gear pointless.

Why is Mind materia so incredibly common, while Healer's Hand is incredibly rare?

What effects evasion? There was a post a while ago breaking down what the stats do, but under DEX Evasion wasn't listed.

Can you please show how much damage DoTs do, how much absorbs do, and how much HP regen the HoTs do?

Right now shield block seemingly does nothing, will this be adjusted?

My LS has about a 30% chance of getting nothing but DM5 from Ifrit (we've been keeping track), why is the chance not to be rewarded so high?

As you can see from the tracert IP logs that everyone is posting, JP users have nearly a full 3 seconds to react versus NA and EU players, this is rather important in a fight like Ifrit. How does this not justify regional servers? Every bad Korean MMO is able to cough up the cash for regional servers, why not SE?

Can the dev team be more forthcoming with the effect of changing parameters such as Attack, STR, Defense, VIT, DEX, Accuracy, Block, Parry? We need to be able to compare stats like Attack and STR and weigh effects or players will be wasting massive resources on attempting forbidden materia craft.

Please be forthcoming with the role of each of these parameters in the battle algorithms so this game is more accessible to the average player, increasing participation, and greatly enhancing the game economy.

I'm hoping Yoshi will address this problem and let us know his policy and what we can expect. This issue is core to a majority of what changed in 1.19 and will affect all content yet to come.

Please see this thread for all the details:

[irongripz]

how do you plan on competing with the D3 market that looks to be top selling game in very long time. do you think charging subs before this game hits shelf is smart idea in the state the game is in? do you even want to compete with blizzard? or is the niche market still your main target.

This. Please. Besides, Yoshi-P has previously stated that players should have access to information so they can use that information to improve their play. Keeping stat effects hidden goes against all that.

[AshToreth]

Do you have any plans to make Dzemael Darkhold worthwhile again and if so please explain? Right now there is no reason to go there except to help people complete the quest due to the gear being largely obsolete because of the materia system.

[Nilheim]

When will you fix the loot distribution for the Ifrit fight? At least make it so it drops into the Loot list first.

[Visch]

Do you ever plan on making content with a better longevity similar to FFXI? Everything up until now has been challenging but quickly figured out and defeated by everyone because of the short re-enter times. Will we ever seen longer re-enter times for instances or longer spawn times on NMs for future "endgame" content?
