Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXVIII! (Lead UI Minagawa)

Just a few options I would love:

1: Option to show target health numbers on the bar. Percentage is nice, but seeing 400/1000 is much more efficient as WHM.

2. Option to remove yourself from player finder, even temporarily. This would cut down on gil seller spam.

3. Set the marketboard to look for keywords when searching, currently I have to type the exact name to find the item. ex: Typing "cap" to find all items with "cap" in the name would be helpful.

With talks of more housing plots and wards being made available, i'd like to ask a question about possible Ishgard housing.

I know you feel like it could be done but i have to wonder if the future Ishgard housing will be open to Heavensward expansion only and locked to A Realm Reborn players or open to everyone.

Can we get a system message that tells us when a Free Company Airship Voyage completes?

I recently noticed how annoying it is not to have one, especially when we have one for Retainer Ventures. It really makes no sense to me for something so important. Perhaps I've just missed an existing option to show such a message.

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. cont'd..

[xXTh0r_0d1ns0nxX]

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 Flight of the Valkyrie stance deals lightning AoE up to 10 yalms away for 250 potency*/Pyre of the Ancients stance same thing but instead of AoE, it DoTs target for 300 potency fire damage for 15 sec*
(Decided we alrdy had a lightning DoT so Lightning AoE damage and Fire DoT would be more fun.)*

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. (thinking of changing the stance names)*
Jotunn's Reckoning: Tanking stance/fire aspected, Major health increase, Major DMG decrease more so then Warriors, focusing more on Enimity control and DoTs then actual weapon DMG*



At the least id settle for a warrior Glamour that looks like a hammer.

When will the beach chair finally be usable & get their own sit emote?

[Knahli]

Would it be possible to introduce an optional feature that can be toggled on or off(default set to off) to each person's preference where a modest animation/visual effect appears above any Bard currently playing a song? In 72-man raids it can be quite tedious to try and find out if Requiem is being played by a non-party member and distracting to try and figure out when and if it has ended - let alone if another Bard has already picked up in their place.

[Knahli]

May we have an option to hide debuffs applied to a target by non-party members, at least in raids?

[Knahli]

Can Ranged characters please have the ability to manually aim their Limit Break without being constrained to targeting something first and in addition have the AoE graphic displayed for them? Given that they have a more situationally-based and weaker Limit Break, this would be an enormous help to better plan, understand and utilise the maximum effectiveness of a given Limit Break in both PvE and PvP content.
