Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXX! (Main Scenario Ishikawa)

I feel as though the eternal bond is lacking in a lasting effect. There's not much of an incentive from the game to encourage players to stay married together. Would you consider implementing rewards and/or benefits from being married; such as an annual gift on the couple's anniversary or an exp/spiritbond boost when near or in a party with your spouse?

The quests for Matoya's poroggo are my favorite quests in all of video games. I both laughed and cried. What was the inspiration behind the story of this little frog who just wants to be useful to his master? Did writing it trigger some emotions for you as well?

Many of us would absolutely love an in-game library of lore related information, such as history from 1.0 and beyond. It is very difficult to find specific pieces of information regarding FFXIV lore. So a catalogue that can be added to as the game progresses would be much appreciated - mayhap an interactive bookshelf in the Saint Endalim Scholasticate?

[Kartisan]

Can we get a glamour book that we can store, even sacrifice, gear to; so that we can draw from the book an infinite number of times for any gear in its list without needing to hold onto the gear?

[Roski]

Are we going to get another legendary fishing quest line in heavensward like in the 2.XX? The "of dragons deep" quest is what i am referring to.

As you introduce new lands and cultures, will you be adding more exotic food like you are doing with peaches? Many players in the community are asking for "tacos" in-game. Can we expect exotic food like tacos in upcoming patches?

Seeing the idea for the egis glamour, was wondering, it would be possible a glamour system for the chocobo companion, so when we summon it in combat it has the appearance of other mounts, like for example, fenrir?

[ChocoBass]

YES!!! Where are the TACOS?!? Yoshi got asked about peaches, but not tacos? Tacos are already in Final Fantasy lore (FF XI, check it out). We want TACOS!

Are you aware of the liberties the English localization team take with their translation of the game, causing certain characters or events to differ greatly between versions of the game? In particular the character Haurchefant's appearance during the player's first visit to the Coerthas Central Highlands was heavily re-written, to the point that when he reappeared with his original personality during a later story event, many were confused, and some were even worried that he'd been tempered or was otherwise plotting to betray us.

How do you feel about the changes made during the localization process? Do you have any communication with the localization team, and do they consult with you now to ensure that their changes won't cause serious problems later in the story?

Is there any chance that some of the older parts of the English localization, which have since been publicly acknowledged to have been handled incorrectly, might be corrected in future patches to be closer to the original intent?

Who is your favorite character in the storyline? Are there any characters in particular you really enjoy writing for? Anyone you really dislike, or find difficult to write?
