Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE: E3 Edition! (General Q&A)

Can you enable mount abilities that were available during quests but were removed when we actually got the mount? Ie: witch's broom's cast ability, Sanuwa's buffet ability, etc.

In the 3.0 Heavensward story, we were drawn into the Dragonsong War between Ishgard and Nidhogg. Because of this, one of the main story NPCs was Estinien, a character that Dragoon Players were already well-acquainted with from their A Realm Reborn Questline. So my question is, will we be seeing more Job Storylines and NPCs play into future expansions like this? For example, a popular idea is that 4.0 may concern Ala Mhigo and their resistance. Were this the case, we might see Widargelt play a role? Are there any plans to include other Job-related NPCs in future Main Story Questlines as Estinien was?

When the Leviathan trial first came out, Yoshi-P said it would be unfair to other classes if smn got new egis and that we would have to wait for an expansion. After the expansion Yoshi-P said that the pet system was really complicated and that's why we didn't get them. If we get glamors does this mean we will never get new pets?

Can you ease the requirements for the "High Roller" title achievement that requires us to basically win the Cactpot to achieve? Every other requirement for that achievement we can work towards, but we cannot augment our luck for the 1 million Cactpot winnings requirement for the "Work Smarter, Not Harder" part. Maybe lower the MGP requirement for the "Work Smarter, Not Harder" part, or allow us to spend more MGP to increase our odds of winning such as by buying more Cactpot tickets?

Why are casters not allowed to glamour into heavier-looking armour? Glamours have more restrictions when it comes to casters, as tanks can glamour not only into other tank gear but also general Disciple of War gear (of which there are plentiful). Whereas casters can usually only glamour into something specific to their Job or those available to all classes. Most tanks often glamour into what I would describe as 'casual gear' anyway (like suits or bikinis), so why can the casters not do the opposite and wear heavy armour?

What is your favorite part of FFXIV so far?

[Cucurbita]

Will there be a FFXV launch event in FFXIV similar to the Lightning Returns event?

Ever since the release of 3.3 and its more challenging, mechanic-driven content, there have been concerns about it getting "nerfed", like Pharos Sirius, Amdapor Keep, and Steps of Faith before. What goes into the decision to ease the difficulty of content, and at what point do you decide that content is too hard, versus players simply lacking in familiarity/skill?

[Yasuhiro]

When recycling enemy models do you decide carefully what ones you'll take from what games and consider how they'll fit into Eorzea? This has been something that I've been pretty curious about, I think you did a good job making XI's bestiary and some of XIII's enemies fit into Eorzea, I'd say the latter looks more in place in Eorzea than it does in XIII Seriously those Dreadnoughts, my favorite FF enemy mind you, do look like something the Allagans would have made.

I also really look forward to all the re-imagined stuff from past games you bring into Eorzea, as a long time FF fan, XIV just hits all the right spots for me when you play the nostalgia card.

Also, thank you for the awesome patch! Easily my favorite one yet.

(Models! Not types! there's difference before someone says "FF has always done this"! )

I'm gonna ask it.


I really like the Living Liquid from Alexander: Gordias, at least design wise. Can there be a minion of Living Liquid to collect, perhaps as crafted and tradable? I figure with Alexander ending in 3.4 it might be the best chance to have one implemented.
