What are your thoughts about the Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXIX?

[Kaurie]

I feel like us ACN deserve better glamours..What we do get book-wise is pretty plain. Ooh our book has a moogle face on it..yaaaay-insert sarcastic laugh- Every other class has primal weapons n stuff that stand out..but we have very few.

Personally, I'd like an emperors new book - as I think the animations would look pretty cool if I was casting stuff over my open hand instead of open book.

That does sound pretty awesome! I'd use it. They have one for monks so why stop there? Some classes may look weird but I feel the casters would fit very well with an invisible weapon.

I think part of the reason for that is that books are hard to change the mold for, you can make big swords, little swords, gloves, knuckledusters, all kinds of different staffs. But a book is a book and all they can really do is change the cover and add a few bells and whistles

IDK how I feel about the Yokai stuff... Well, no, I know how I feel, I hate that stuff... Minions are OK, weapons and mount are beyond stupid IMO... The amount of coverage it got also annoyed me...

That said, if this was something like a Bravely Second cross over event? Ah la vache, I'd be loving all that coverage and all the gear and minions... Quite obviously I'm bias, I don't care about Yokai in the slightest and, much like the Lightning event before it, this campaign has the opposite effect on me; I am annoyed by this and thus even less likely to check it out. Like the Lightning event though, I don't think I really have a problem with it... I can filter all that stuff out... I don't have an aneurysm every time I see someone with that Lightning gear, and I wont when I see these things... I'll just roll my eyes and get on with my day... I'd be incline to lament the wasted development time, but 3.3 is shaping up nicely, so pending another Diadem flavoured disappointment I'm not really all that bothered...

But seriously... We get this instead of a Bravely Second event? Can somebody please bust YoshiPs Ba'als...

Thank you all for sharing your thoughts with me. I am enjoying reading them. I think this is a big step up from patch 3.2 at least. I would like to see better content in the future. I want to see change. I want to see the developers blow minds with innovative ideas and stories. I quit not to long ago for a break. I still care though. So i watch this game like a hawk and i thought there would be no better way than to look at the community. This may be a turning point for FFXIV. Maybe theyre finally going to take risk and give the game some uniqueness or at least break away from being so predictable and repetitive. For now, I have hope. (minus the weird Yo kai stuff lol, but i still want that flying caped cat minion)

I seriously hope it doesn't turn out like Diadem or the GSaucer. This game really does deserve to succeed(some would say it already is a success, but just because you can pass with C grade that doesnt mean you shouldnt try for an A+). Yoshida and co, obviously work hard.

Idea:
An animated book with a face on it that insults/shouts at your combat target. xD

oh, but not every single attack..that would be annoying.

I would kill for one of the smn books to be a pop-up book with 3 or 4 different pop-up illustrations

That makes me want to see a class that creates paintings that come to life and has them attack/heal their target

Good Gravy! I'd LOVE to see a Kaiser Oblivion outfit
And since we play a V2 version of FF14 it's completly themed cause:
BRAVELY SECOND! THE COURAGE TO TRY AGAIN!

But the event planed is meh.
Because... really... I think that Yokai weapons are... bad...
They push a game in an other with no logic.
The only weapons ok-looking are those without the ugly faces of the monsters.
(furthermore, the game is... kinda bad)
I hope Level-5 pay a lot for this to allow dev to do more this with the money.
Also, i read that we might not be able to have all weapons, such a shame. ( yes i know that i say i don't like them but it's my collecteor soul who talk here.)

Except that, the only thing that bother me is only 2 dungeons...
A new one for MSQ and an old one in hard version... again.
I hope they will someday go for 3 or at least, 2 completly new and not "the same at lvl 60 in """""""hard (lol)""""""" version".

There "lots" of new housing plots being added.

I'm really looking forward to the main story, dungeons, 24 man, Moogle quests, and Hildebrand.

Cautiously optimistic about the treasure map dungeon and Palace of the Dead. They both sound fun but sadly SE seems to struggle with implementing new content and keeping it relevant.

Don't really care about the collaboration event since I'm not familiar with that game. I do find it odd they're considering not letting you (or just making it difficult to) collect all the weapons though.

The only thing that really concerned me was the question about Savage. I'm fine with them adding unique equipment models to it but I really hope they never gate story behind raid content like they did with Coil ever again.
