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

[BlackDragon2000]

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

Is there a future planning for more pet Jobs, i know Yoshi P said the most of the ffxi jobs will evenautly port over will be planned to improve the summoner. will also be future plan to add the bst, puppetmaster and other sort jobs.

The new hairstyles introduced in patch 3.2 (as well as the older ones) appear as if the front/bangs could be switched with the back/hair length. Can we expect to see a mix-and-match with certain hairstyles in the future?

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)

How about turning Grit to oGCD? Paladin has Abilities with increased enmity so instant (without ~2.5 sec delay) switch to MT is not a problem. Warriors' defiance is oGCD- no Abilites with increased aggro and no problem with instant switch.
And DRK suffers 2.5 sec penalty for trying to be cool.

I see Cid's motion when he places his fist and his open palm together and nods his head in cutscenes. Can we have that as an emote?

[Veritas-Ancora]

Can you give us one little hint about the expansion: will we be heading into the sea, or will we be flying off into space?

[Thyranne]

Could you make an Alexander Normal and a Crystal Tower roulette and make them reward a decent amount of Tomestones of Lore? It's just sad to see the current state of Crystal Tower.

[Knahli]

Lost City of Amdapor(HM) features enemy White Mages wearing the original relic set with their hoods pulled up over their head. Would there be any possibility that such a feature would be introduced to the playerbase for this set and perhaps any other?

[ArtyomFang]

In a previous letter, it was mentioned that many are fans of FFXI and you guys would look into adding monsters from the game. Can you tell us if we'll likely see them in the next expansion?
