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

[Virlym]

This is just a generic question.

Main question: Why are friends ignored and Free Company isn't?

Two parts to it: Why are we notified when Free Company members log in, but not friends? Why isn't there a friends-only chat like there is for Free Company or Linkshells?

there some beach chairs in mist that have 2 miqtoes standing next to each other, i know right now its winter but its summer in the southern part of the world, it would be great to have the ablitiy to sit in those chairs, and have a beach day with friends or something, also will there be any new emotes or dances coming to the game in the furture.

with the coming of new tomes, this would pertain to poetics, and their value in purchaseing items. im assuming that theyre going to be done away with and inplace for law, while the eso rank down to make room for the new tomes, but like pervious items bought with older tome are they goint to be cheapers, there some items that are really cheap, so if the cheapest of items will they go into the drop table or gather's table , etc?

Greetings!
I've notice players, during Lord of Verminion tournaments, will invite a friend to join the tournament and split the wins with just each other, 30 matches with 15 wins for each. I see this as cheating and ruins the spirit of having fun when having these tournaments. Can there be some type of penalty where if a player forfeits, they are locked out for 10 minutes and add additional 10 minutes each time the same player forfeits the match within the same week?

Hey Koji! Any chance of us seeing an official Lore Book similar to the art books that we have? I'd love to be able to read up on Eorzean history.

1. Cross-class abilities have not been getting much attention from the dev team, evident by the lack of new cross-class skills in 3.0, so I'm wondering -- are any plans for this system in the future?
2. How does the FFXIV team plan to grow jobs in the future. I've already run out of room on my cross-hotbars and I can't imagine having any new abilities, how will this be handled going forward?
3. Raid difficultly - It seems that balancing raid difficulty is tricky and likely an impossible to satisfy everyone with one or two difficulty options. Knowing this, what's the possibility of seeing more difficulty options: for example; casual, mid-core, and hard-core?
4. How is FFXIV going to keep old content relevant? Having played games such as WoW through several expansions, it saddens me to see content I worked hard on and really enjoyed become completely out-dated and forgotten.

Will there MSAA (or better anti aliasing) support for DX11 users?

Why does Alexander 3 (savage) drainage tethers passes/works differently as other tether such as T13?

If i am not wrong A3S tether relys on server tick which may not pass evey when a tank run pass it. T13 never had this issue.

I talked about it with my friends and we would like to see under the various seasons Eorzea. It would be great if the seasons will be implemented.
Have you considered adding seasons to Eorzea? Do you have any plan to discuss about its implement for future patches?
