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

Wondering if Square Enix is going to make any additional retainers more permanent? You would think by now after years of collecting all this money from people buying new additional retainers that maybe they would have enough money tucked away somewhere to buy new hardware for better server function and thus, new retainers/inv space. Or is the retainer money just going into someones pocket? I'm paying $90 every 3 months to play this game, somehow my 4 additional retainers are costing as much as my sub. This is just so frustrating.

Are there any plans to make equipment more interesting through individual augmentations/enhancements of abilities already available to us on specific pieces of gear, or through set bonuses?

Example: Pants, or a gear set which doubles the duration of Huton.

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?

A while back, Dengeki had an interview with Naoki Yoshida and Satoshi Sakai (the director behind Phantasy Star Online 2), and I believe it was said that, if possible, they wanted to do some sort of collaboration. Recently, players on PSO-World (and later posted to Reddit and Bluegartr) discovered images of FF14 relic weapons in their latest patch for PSO2.

My question is, can you explain if Yoshida and Sakai were finally able to have some sort of collaboration, and what can we expect to see from PSO2 to come to FF14? Also, are there any lore implications behind this?

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.

For A Realm Reborn Dungeons and Bahamut raids, when the party decides to unsync it, sometimes the leader of the party forgets to unsync it and we can't tell from their point of view if they have done that. Can you add the Sync/Unsync part of the Que Window before we get in them so the entire party knows?

Can we get some fresh lore on the Duskwight?

Just a quirky snippet would be much appreciated.

[Sinmal]

Is it possible to have a post with some of the quirks of the twenty-six Seeker of the Sun tribes in the same fashion as the Xaela clans in their naming convention?

The Gem of Shatotto. Is only that specific BLM soulstone the Gem of Shatotto or are all BLM Soulstones known as Gems of Shatotto including those presumably created by Mhacchi Voidmages?

[Sinmal]

Are Xaela clans lead by Khans?
