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

[WanderingStar]

Since we have Y'shtola and G'raha Tia representing the Students of Baldesion and Sharlayan is it safe to say the Miqo'te Keeper and Seeker tribal customs are still alive and well on that continent and are not just confined to Eorzea? Or do they perhaps just bear the names and live as the other races do?

Is there any way we could get a small even 1/2 second if necessary recast timer when dropping abilities like Cleric Stance. Nothing is more frustrating or causes more dungeon wipes than trying to turn it off at the wrong time and not realizing you failed to turn it off or double clicking it and turning it back on.

If cross-racial unions are so taboo, why are cross-racial adoptions so common? Hells, it almost seems fashionable in Ul'Dah.

Can we get more informations about this statue from Void Ark ?

This is something which I've never seen explained but would finally be nice to be laid to rest, but I'm sure all 1.0/Legacy players would finally like to know, especially given the fact that ARR has been out for over 3 years now - is there actually a lore reason/explanation for the 'Legacy Mark' all 1.0 characters have other than simply identifying that character as being a character created in 1.0?

I also noticed my 1.0 hired retainer also possess this mark, yet it seems no npc from 1.0 has it, so, is there a deeper reason behind it? Did Hydaelyn brand all 'Meteor survivors' with this mark? Does it indeed identify that person as an original Warrior of Light? Or is it just something that has no real story explanation and is just there as a nice way of saying thank you for playing 1.0? It would be nice to finally have some closure about it either way.

Certain items in the game (purple rarity, non-replica) have a small text field with a short description of the item. For example all Zeta weapons are "One of the true weapons wielded by the legendary Zodiac Braves" and an Eternity Ring is "Material proof of a spiritual bond." What would it take to get similar descriptors added to other items, so that we could learn more of their origins?

I ask because while we can infer the origins of some items (i.e. an NPC in Diadem tells us the Mistfall/Deepmist/Mistbreak items we find formerly belonged to fallen sky pirate explorers, the Orthodox Coats found in the Aery might have belonged to the knights of King Thordan I), many items we simply know nothing about.

For example the Manikin Conjurers/Marauders/Pugilists in the Fractal Continuum (known to be an Allagan museum of sorts) wear the equipment that can be found in the Labyrinth of the Ancients - does that make that equipment the standard battle gear of the Allagan automaton forces? How does that relate to the Allagan/High Allagan equipment found in the Binding Coil of Bahamut, the latter of which we can surmise are typically worn by important Allagan individuals such as Doga and Unei (or their clones).

There's also the 3rd gear set from both ARR raids that seem to be somehow out of place stylistically from their predecessors. Coil 1 gives "Allagan" equipment, Coil 2 gives "High Allagan" equipment, Coil 3 gives "Dreadwyrm" equipment. CT 1 gives "Manikin" equipment, CT 2 gives "Whatever The Hell Xande/Amon Wants Their Generals To Wear" (seriously what's with that fashion sense), and CT 3 goes straight to "Demon" equipment. Why the drastic change? Is the Dreadwyrm garb simply Allagan equipment that has been heavily corrupted by Bahamut exposure? Was the Demon equipment formerly worn by early Allagan explorers of the Void?

It'd be nice to just have some of the history behind all of this nifty gear we keep digging up.

Can you add more /cposes for weapons, beds, and chairs?

[EorzeaHero69]

Will there be an option to filter our chats so we don't get any RMT spams via tells anymore? Getting sick of them sending them to me constantly, and reporting or blacklisting them doesn't work.

Greetings Koji,

I was just wondering will localization eventually be applied to the subscription system. I know it's not really SE's fault but Canadian NA players (whom literally share a border with US NA players) have to pay an ever increasing amount more ($5 more/ mth ATM ) to play compared to most other major player demographic zones. Looking at the markets, if things continue to slump, by years end Canadian players will end up paying almost twice the intended cost. Can some love be shown to Canada? Just a little?

Greetings,

To sum up most of the lore related questions, answers and information can an update-able "Book of Lore" be added to the inn rooms? Similar to the _____________(sorry forgot the name) book that allows players to view previously viewed cutscenes. Maybe for each patch release, the lore of new areas, bosses etc. can be added and become available once players play through content. Just a thought.

P.S. If this does become a thing please make sure to include lots of diagrams of symbols seen through Eorza, pictures etc. TY
