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

With iLevels already going as high as four times our actual level and the vertical progression of stats, there is a lot of talk of "Power Creep". What are your thoughts on this?

[ViaEorzea]

Would you consider adding an option to disable the battle music?

The music in the various zones and dungeons is so lovely that it is rather painful for it to switch out to the battle music just because you accidentally drew aggro on something or engaged a boss.

Can you make the housing items from seasonal events available for purchase at the Calamity Salvager (or possibly the Recompense Officer) for people who have participated in the events?

Many people did not purchase those items during the seasonal events as they did not have housing and now have to purchase them massively marked up on the Marketboard.

For example, one of the hottest seasonal event furnishings, the Eastern Cherry Tree, is going to 9 million a piece on my server. It is much worse on other servers.

With the Dragonsong War at an end and the Isghardians allied with Limsa, Ul'dah, and Gridania, will we finally see an Isghardian Grand Company come into play that we can join? And on that note, what are the plans for having additiona ranks within the Grand Companies? I get asked why it shows more ranks yet they don't exist. Thanks.

Second question: I've recently run into a number of new players who are unfamiliar with the job system within FFXIV and are unaware that in order to become, say, a BLM, they can't just pick up the THM class but must also pick up ACN and take it to at least level 15. Are there any plans to make this more obvious?

I know, I know (分 かってる, 分 かってるよ), I said it was the last one, but one more okay? Will there be a crossover event for the newly remastered Final Fantasy 7? Maybe weapons from the cast, or a Red XIII mount, or cast outfits?

Housing and destroyed on pick-up items

There are a number of furnishings and housing items in the game that once placed can not be picked up. This can create annoying situations where a person acquired a seasonal wallpaper, put it up and now can not remove that wallpaper without destroying it and has no way to reacquire it. Or where a person or FC could have paid a large amount of gil for a furnishing which will be destroyed it they move or want to rearrange their house, even temperately.

Would it be possible to have this restriction removed?

Increasing Flying Mount speeds in A Realm Reborn content

People who are able to fly have already experienced all the ARR content they need and it's just picking up old content like Beast Tribe quests. It would be nice if we could jump and "hover" at a faster run speed with our flying mounts.

NOTE: This is NOT a request for flight in ARR. We don't need resources like that wasted.

Will there be a FFVII Crossover event to celebrate the remastered version?

if so, can we get the Character's hair styles? I would love to have a Sephiroth, Red XIII, or Vincent's hairstyles.

Why is the name of the Ninja ability that extends a wind effect called Armor Crush, the name of the ability that lowers slashing resistance called Dancing Edge, and the ability that does the higest damage called Aeolian Edge? The word aeolian if you look into its meaning is wind-related, so why wouldn't that ability be the one which extends Huton, allowing Armor Crush to actually crush armor by lowering slashing resistance? To a number of players it seems as though the names for these abilities are all mixed up, so are there any plans to fix them?
