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

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

[Daeney]

Greetings!

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.

Thanks a lot for the response! My question is a little bit personal, but what aspects of lore do you feel hit you with a lot of emotion? Without spoiling too much, I know Tiamat's story is pretty depressing. Anything like that you feel most players missed?

Can the ilvl and level sync for level 50 dungeons and Primals please be made more effective to narrow the gap between current end-game players and new players coming to this content for the first time. Presently the sync is so weak that new players are just so much baggage being dragged around by the super-heros that Duty Findoer assigned them. Previously high level players would complain that a heavie level sync would prevent them from speed running and farming the older content, but the ability to run unsync'd makes that complaint null and void. Please can you tighten up level sync on older level 50 content?

As news of Warring Triad is coming.

My question is will there be a future fight versus Kefka and if you can't say he will make a appearance, can you explain why his wing is in the center of Warring Triad statues in azys Lla?

Or Is kefka even apart of this at all?

I know it is a long shot, however I am curious, so I will ask it.

Can we have some Primal based glamour gear similar to Odin primal for other primals? (Shiva, ifrit, titan, etc) someday please yus yus?

[Jojozan]

3 sets of questions:

1. Was the original Odin an Au Ra? It would certainly go toward explaining his signature horns, how he came across that swordsmen, and possibly one or two other things.

2. Cid was out of action for 3 years and grew a magnificent, manly beard. Thancred was out for a few weeks, and has gained some chin fuzz and maturity. So, the three parts are:
a. Is this an ability of the Scions?
b. Do we need to worry about Yda and Minfillia being out of action?
c. How long will Alphinaud have to disappear to no longer be mistaken for his sister?

3. As a Summoner, I liked the extra bit of lore in their relic quest about Odin, Urth, and Wiyu. Questions are:
a. Will that get expanded on?
b. Is there any other relic lore that you enjoy, even if it has not been put in the game yet?

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

Lore Question

Where did the Miqo'te actually originate, and Will we ever see our home, or are we doomed forever to be strangers in a strange land scratching a living in our roles of courtesans, dancers, hunters and poachers? I'm always left wondering if we Miqo'te are forever stuck in roles the exploit our beauty or our hunting instincts. That said, I adore F'lhaminn, such a pretty NPC. Surely it's no coincidence that her name is phonetically similar to flaming - as in hot?
