Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXVIII! (Exploring Patch 3.2)

In relation to PvP, both new and old content, do you foresee amending the way Tanks work in battle? Paladin's utility allows them to excel at harassment and aiding allies though Warrior and Dark Knight appear to significantly lack such means to ensure their allies' survival. Would it be possible to add or adjust skills such as Provoke which, instead of doing nothing, could influence a target in a number of ways, such as....

-Target moves toward and/or attacks the caster if in range. (3 second duration)
-Damage dealt by target to anyone other than caster is reduced by 50% while damage dealt to caster is increased by 150%+. (10 second duration)
-Accuracy of target heavily reduced against all but the caster. (5 second duration)

These are just examples and the numbers/durations could be adjusted as seen fit, but even as someone who only plays Bard and Paladin, I get the impression that only Paladins really seems to fulfill the role of being able to bear the brunt of the enemy attacks in defence of their team.

I would love to see moogles as the next Beast Tribe, maybe put a moogle cap and suit, lvl 1 without any stat bonuses, as purchasible items from them.

Would love to see Blue Mage, Red Mage, Samurai, and Pirate make it in, but that's something I can wait on. Right now if you raise the level cap, just adding more useful traits rather than more skills to clutter the hotbars would be helpful.

ex: Chance on Fire and Ice IV to grant Astral Fire and Umbral Ice. After each crit, chance to reset cooldown of Ley Lines. Critical hit chance and damage increase.

Y'shtola appears in patch 3.2.

.......therefore! I boldly and shamelessly proclaim that it must be relevant to ask if we can expect to see her new hairstyle released in the near future? I've always wanted a variation of her previous style minus the hair ornaments like she currently has.

For the new Anima weapons, would character creation be involved?

**Morningstar1337** · 03-23-2016 07:03 AM

Are you gonna put cutscenes from finsiehe events (mainly the recent ones like the Little Ladies or Hatching Tide events) on the Unening Journey, or are they deleted as soon as the event ends?

Is there a way to make "motion" syntax for skills, something that shows the effect but doesn't affect the player, mobs or place the respective skill on cooldown (as well as being used in spite of the class being unable to use the skill itself)?

When will the Hildibrand and Nashu Plushes be available for Pre-order?

Really Disappointed in gear For ninja in 3.2 its all the same look as Bard Gear & as a Ninja i want to look like an Assassin/warrior not look like a Bard feel like not much thought went into the Design don't mind if the gear looked more like Monk gear but Bard gear Design don't work for Ninjas

So my Question is Can we get better looking Gear for Ninjas so we don't look like Bards

I know what your thinking, this guys name is Thor and hes asking for a viking. Lets be serious though in final fantasy 3 and several tactics i loved having the viking job. Just being able to mush your enemies with a large hammer was so satisfying. I know we have a warrior already (an argument often presented to me when i ask about this class.), but i simply am just not satisfied i would love it if we could just have a massive hulking tank of a class (lower DPS but Significantly higher health in the range of 30K+). It could have so many amazing possibilities as well. Large hammers. Fire based Attacks (Viking Pyre?) and Defense buffs. they would be a slow but heavy hitting class, like a physical Blm. Maybe a stance that doubles their GCD but also doubles their damage dealt and have massive oGCD hits with long recasts. I always thought a hammer tank would be sweet. Never thought of it being Viking, but whatever they could come up with would be cool. It could switch from hammers and maces. Blunt headed objects. Plus Monk has a blunt buff so this would complement well. The anti tower has a Viking mob, Maybe its foreshadowing something. i really hope we get this class it seems like it definitely possible and there is plenty of community to back the idea. come on devs show us a sign!!! I would kill to have my hammer throw ability from FF3 back. *cough* mjolnir throw *cough* like the dark night ranged jump, or dragonfire dive, but as a Viking and with a hammer and lightning aspected. oh that would be a beautiful sight to see.

Ideas
Abilities:
Hammer Throw: Ranged singular attack increases enmity(similar to shield lob or tomahawk).*
Viking pyre/Thunder call: increases damage of fire/thunder* abilities for entire party by 15% for 10sec
Mjolnir: launches character to desired target; in Ragnarok stance deals lightning AoE up to 10 yalms away for 250 potency*/Jotunn's Reckoning stance same thing but instead of AoE, it DoTs target for 300 potency fire damage for 15 sec*

Stances:
Ragnarok: Damage stance/thunder aspected, More DMG!, debuffed attack speed. Hits harder 450-600 potency but GCD is 2.5-3.0 sec maybe slower. (Originally name this one Flight of the Valkyrie)*
Jotunn's Reckoning: Tanking stance/fire aspected, Major health increase, Major DMG decrease more so then Warriors' Defiance, focusing more on Enimity control and DoTs then actual weapon DMG* (originally named this one Pyre of the Ancients)

Could we see a blunt dmg tank such as a Viking.
