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

While the card gameplay for Astrologian is enjoyable, it feels bad to be looked at as either a knockoff White Mage or bargain-bin Scholar when grouped with others to do content. Are there plans to rework AST so that it has a stronger, unique identity?

If so, when and in what ways? If not, can Nocturnal sect at least be reworked so that our aspected heals in that stance benefit from Time Dilation and Collective Unconscious?

I am just wondering do you guys ever gonna patch the two skill of drg, Fang & Claw and Wheeling Thrust as able choose whichever we want to use instead of just pick one for us randomly? I am pretty sure I am not the only who find flaw with these two skills

Would you ever consider adding a music system with usable instruments?

Can we have a hippocerf minion? I always feel so sorry for those guys, I want to pet them.

Would you consider adding practice collectible nodes?

Having to wait a half hour to hour for a node to pop, only to fail at collecting anything because you are not sure of what you are doing and then having to wait again for the node to re-pop is incredibly frustrating! A practice node where you can't technically collect anything, but where you can practice a rotation would be very helpful.

(Something similar for collectible crafting would be nice too.)

I have noticed that the Japanese Square Enix store has a wide selection of merchandise. Is there any possibility of adding those wares to the NA/EU stores as well?

I imagine that players outside of Japan would be very eager to get their hands on the various t-shirts, keychain fobs, plushies, posters and wallets available for FFXIV. We want to show out love for the game too!

Would it be possible to have a FFIX tie in event to celebrate its anniversary? FFIX is still one of my personal favorites among the playstation era, and has quite a few decent looking weapons and outfits throughout the game. I would love to see General Beatrix's outfit available to glamour.

This might sound crazy to many people but could it be possible to incorporate the legatus as a Job in a new expansion? In FF12 there was judges, all around badass people serving the Arcadian empire as generals and enforcers of the law. In ff14 the legatus seem to have about the same role but with sword-gun-things and advanced technology.
They could be a hybrid type of DPS, mixing strong and fast melee attacks and AOE ranged abilities to provide a versatile kit on the battlefield. They could wield gunblades like Regula von hydrus and use gadgets to provide crowd control. As for the story, they could be a military group that rebel against the empire OR Gaius van Baelsar is still alive and is somehow willing to show you the trade.

Needless to say i find the legatus and judges to be my favorite group in both games: they are very aesthetically pleasing and have interesting abilities. I would be completely ecstatic to see them playable in ff14.

Can we please, PLEASE, place more outdoor furnishings on Small plots?

Are there any plans on allowing us to replay solo instances?

They were some of the best moments ever. The battle in the Vault, The Ishgardian Grand Melee, more recently the Warring Triad quest. There are so many awesome moments that we'll never get to see again unless we make a new character and due to your system for allowing us to level everyone on one character, the incentive to replay is really low for some people.
