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

[IrisChronorpheus]

When're we gonna get an option to make our butts bigger

[Kartisan]

Will gear clipping issues (meshes) with both miqo'te and au ra tails be fixed and follow the pattern that early 2.0 gear addressed with miqo'te tails with the cut outs and other modifications to the meshes?

Can we see the addition of a glamour log book to store glamours that can also be copied from later, to help with inventory? I am fine with even losing gear to the glamour book if the glamour book if it permanently stores the look.

A few of the original hairstyles that were locked to a specific race/sub-race/sex have been added to one or more, will we see this continued in the future to increase character customization with already created texture/meshes?

Will a change pose feature be added for mounts (some at least) to include both the astride and sidesaddle positions and maybe others such as an aggressive racing lean forward and low?

[Kartisan]

Are there any plans to introduce either a instance generated field or dungeon with "randomly" generated or selected maps and objectives [ ffxi nyzul isle ]? (This was the content that I enjoyed the most in xi as it was small group and it had variety.)

When the Star Wars mmo added color changing to their gear, they added multiple color layers such as primary, secondary and trimms, will we see the customization of gear in eorzea increase in the future?

In order to increase travel speeds in the 2.0 areas, has adding sprint to mounts be considered, and having it unlocked by gathering aether current nodes or something similar requiring 3.0 msq progress?

Will we see musketeer as a class in and of itself in the future or at least the more historical weapon models, shorter barrels for handguns and maybe an added 3 point long gun stance?

[Kartisan]

Also, the 1.0 labeled but never released shepard class, perhaps to be used to raise and breed fighting companions other than the chocobo or part of its own mini game [ ffxi's pankration aka pokemon ]?

Will retainers become summonable fighting companions in the future or a similarly customizable companion?

An expansion of chocobo porter routes, not adding more but allowing more destinations to be selected at each place, including combinations of existing routes?

[Calista_Setaph]

Are there any plans for further adjustments to the TP cost of Paladin and Dark Knight weaponskills?

For example, will Royal Authority and/or Rage of Halone get a cost reduction to be in line with Goring Blade?

For Dark Knight, what about the option that the next Souleater or Power Slash has no TP cost when used under the effect of Dark Arts?

[LilyErsap]

Would it be possible to make adjustments to Extreme Primal Tokens for those of us with a significant amount in order to alleviate inventory congestion, by:
- making the maximum sizes of stacks larger
- converting them into Key Items
- converting them into a currency similar to Tomestones
- allow conversion into other existing, lesser currencies as already happens with Tomestones (for example, into Allied Seals or MGP)
- adding a title that can be purchased by those with significant amounts of Tokens (for example, <The Undaunted>)
- creating additional items that can be bought with them (for example, a set of Primal-inspired costume body pieces)
- or even making the mounts from the Extreme Primals purchasable with an appropriate amount of Tokens?

[Guardian]

You mentioned awhile back you were looking into the possibility of bringing Blue Mage to FFXIV, any progress you wish to share?

[Riina]

In the Letter from the Producer in August you said that healer gear had no accuracy because it was not needed at the moment, but you also said "In the future, if accuracy becomes necessary during the 3.x patch series then we will address this". Healers are currently forced to meld accuracy onto their gear to meet accuracy requirements even for simple things such as expert dungeons. Are you planning to add accuracy to healer gear now?

[Megha]

Free Company Alliances - We need this badly. We have threads talking about the need for this.
This will benefit small FC's and large FC's that are big enough they have broken into multiple FC's - this has happened on both Leviathan Server and Excalibur Server.
This will help the longevity of the game and the community feel.
This option was confirmed prior to heavensward - that it would be leased sometime in the 3.0 era. FC house teleportation is confirmed. We need FC Alliance chat, even if it works similar to the novice network.
Please give us an update! Thanks for your consideration!

I heard the shepard class was another type of gatherer for like animal meat and eggs. Would be interesting.
