Healers and Accuracy

With the introduction of the Antitower and Lost City of Amdapor (Hard) healers are now noticeably below the accuracy required for casual content. While it is possible to reach the required accuracy by melding a number Heaven's Eye Materia V to tome/alex gear or through penta melds on crafted gear, this creates a situation where healers have to use some of their customization potential to achieve something that they were already previously able to do. Quite frankly, the new dungeons do not require enough healing under normal circumstances to keep me from becoming bored, even at i206.

Would it be possible for either a) small amounts of accuracy to be added to healer gear like in 2.0 or b) an accuracy buff be added to Cleric's Stance or c)the Caster accuracy required for these and future roulette dungeons to be lowered.

Will Summoners get a Shiva pet in the future? I don't mean a glamour of Shiva...I mean an actual brand new pet with its own abilities.
I understand having a Bahamut pet would be...an OP summon...but Shiva has always been a pretty common primal to summon in a lot of FF games.

Upgrading FC House Sizes

Can we PLEASE upgrade the size of our Free Company houses, or at least allow them to transfer to a zone of their own allowing them to upgrade in size?

This would be an incredible gil sink and something that would unite players.

My most important request:

Please implement a Free Company Calendar in-game.

I cannot stress this enough, we NEED this to keep members staying. Subscriptions are lost way too often because people think there's nothing to do.

****

Please please please this is VITAL for our game and longevity!!

Free Company Calendar board.

Thank you!!

I get why Paladin's are the weakest DPS tank and I'm okay with that, if anything I think they could make the defensive buffs better, but PLEASE do some type of buff to AOE, either buff Circle of Scorn, make Flash do damage or make Flash an ogcd that still requires mp similar to Empyreal Arrow needing TP.

Or maybe something else entirely, but sometimes it is very frustrating attempting to keep aggro from say a BLM and a SMN w/ gear better than my own.

My question, Will Paladin get an AOE buff in the near future?

The Gnath's mount continuously does its sound when idle and moving. Will there be any future mounts that emit sound in the same manner? The Kongamato's didgeridoo-like hums was a neat delight to find and listen to.

As somebody who has never tanked in an MMO, HotN has been useful for learning the basics. SSS, while very useful to someone who has their job down pat and is trying to max their DPS to ensure they can beat a new trial, doesn't feel nearly as helpful as a learning tool...because it doesn't account for mechanics. Are there any plans for something like HotN for late game, to give players who are behind in skill a chance to practice boss mechanics like stacking, reading telegraphs, etc? As someone who personally struggles on a few key trial mechanics simply due to lack of practice, it seems like a safe space for folks to practice without interfering with veteran players might be a good idea, as it was with HotN? I am aware the absolute best practice is, of course, the encounters themselves, and there's no REAL substitution... It sucks to be trying to learn a fight, and have veterans get mad at your lack of skill, and leave the instance, on a fairly regular basis; makes it hard to learn.

I spend my time crafting so that I can afford my own house. I want to know more details about personal housing moving forward. Specifically, will more Lavender Bed [etc.] wards be opened in 3.3?

**BlatantPyre** · 03-12-2016 05:56 PM

Are you comfortable with talking about current thoughts on how Blue Mage or Red Mage would work with the mechanics of FFXIV? I imagine you've been asked this more than is necessary, possibly inducing insanity, but...what do the jobs look like in your mind currently?

**BlatantPyre** · 03-12-2016 05:57 PM

Would it be possible to introduce a shuffle/roulette mechanic to the Orchestration? I would love to just jam while crafting without having to get up and change the tune...
