Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXVII! (Localization Koji Fox)

[Fevelle]

Given that some parts of O'Ghomoro Mines are inaccessible and that Gelmorrans were subterranean people: how far into Hydaelyn's core does the Kobold's tunnels and Gelmorra's ruins descend? Is there any possibility that there are still some underground civilization alive and will the Warrior of Light ever discover it?

This question is about reproduction between the two Au Ra clans, Xaela and Raen!

We know there's at least one Xaela tribe that accepts Raen members (the Malaguld) - so if a Raen and a Xaela had a child, what would that child be like? Are the bloodlines of the Dawn Father and Dusk Mother mutually exclusive i.e. the child would come out either Xaela or Raen, or would the parents create a visibly mixed-heritage individual? If the latter, how would this individual be likely to be received by other Au Ra?

Are there any plot threads from 1.0 that you would love to branch out on, but don't think you would be able to? If so, why?

What kind of information was contained in the allagan tomeliths at seal rock, what do the grand companies intend to do with it, and why were they unable to reach a peaceful negotiation on how to handle it?

There are chocobos, tonberrys and moogles all over Eorzea. Will there be any other iconic creatures from past games, like Moombas for instance, and what are the chances that they would have quests and Lore? For example, the moogles had the king Mog battle and the mog home.

I would love to see more of this. Though, my perticular favorite, that i would like to see the most are the moombas of Final Fantasy VIII.

1) Why aren't cooldown timers (in-game numbers shown over the skill in seconds or minutes) a thing yet?

2) Why can't we have traits or talents for jobs? Or any customisation at all? Nothing significant or game breaking, but something that can slightly tweak the job to suit play style (raid setup and PvP setups) and/or armour configuration (lol)

3) Why is PvP so lame?

And another one:

Towards the end of the 2.0 story the player encounters the the traveling merchant dependent on your starting city-state (Brennan/Bremondt/Brendt). However, for Legacy players, I always believed we never encountered him in the opening cutscene as Louisoix brought us in the current era and we walked into the city-state on our own.

But, the dialog and the journal implies that I've met him before.

Brennan, the peddler whom you met when traveling to Limsa long ago.

Did my character encounter the peddler offscreen while he was making his way to Limsa at the start of ARR? That's how I always imagined it worked, and wondered if that's the official reason.

Do you keep records of all NPCs from 1.0, and do you also keep track of where they are now in 2.0?

For example, I remember Saintrelmaux from 1.0 Coerthas where he warned of Garlean invasions in some parts of Coerthas, and I was pleased to see he was part of a questline in Western Coerthas.

Another example is Frediswitha who was in Drybone in 1.0 as a Tradescraft Leve turn-in and she's still there at Drybone doing the same job.

The most depressing was Noes, he was just a dude that wanted to do real art.

Any NPCs that survived the Calamity that you like?

Adding on to this with...

Where's Qhota Nbolo, did she survive the Calamity and is still dancing, and is Nhagi Amariyo with her?

Will Hilda have significance in later Machinist quests and more significance in Main quests?
