hi, can we craft from retainers inventory, instead having to search for a material each time i need to craft

Currently, the AI for chocobos (and ACN pets to an extent) seems a little... well, not right.

Would you ever consider a throwback to 12 by making the Gambit System available for our summoned/called allies? I don't even mind doing things like hunts or other quests to earn each Gambit like 12 did.

This year, E3 has brought so much to the table and set the bar really high.

Don't you feel you should live up to the expectations that have been set by naming some of the new Jobs you're working on for the next expansion?

[NexousTheRed]

With the current class system clearly being phased out in place of Jobs, the cross class abilities have seriously lost the luster they once had. On all but a few of the current jobs, my cross class selection really offers no creativity, as the 5 choices available to me are pretty much already chosen due to the lack of intelligent options.

Will jobs in the future start offering some of their skills to the aid of other jobs? Or will the option to customize be removed in favour of another system (or none at all)?

I cannot count the number of times I've landed in Cutter's Cry, and before I'm able to take a step, the tank drops.

I understand there is a temporary duty lockout, but with tanks still getting instant queues because that seems to always been the role in need, that temporary ban is little punishment for the player (because when they queue, they still get a party almost instantly), and more punishment for the player base as a whole (because one tank is now out of the duty queue).

Would you consider a different penalty for players who abandon duty's found in the roulette (at least until after a certain duration, or even section of progress)?

I think a good example would be to take their Roulette Bonuses away from the player for that day.

First, I wasn't about to read through all 336 replies when I finally found this forum for General Q/A at E3.

This has been mentioned before, and Yoshi-P has said that it is being looked into several times:

The Question - what is the current status of gaining access to roof decks and Balconies with the ability to also place furnishings on them?

Please elaborate on this in lieu of the usual "We are looking into it."

We know that apartments, and additional housing and such is in the works and also coming in very upcoming patches.

If this is also in the works, please let us know.

If this has been pushed to the floor in lieu of trying to get more housing out there for the masses, please let us know.

While I for one am fine with the current races, I am left to wonder when, if ever we will be getting a more "beast like" race. Currently we only really have different variations of very human like races. I remember seeing a wolfman like race awhile back that was put on the backburners, so to speak, due to complications with fitting great properly, or at least that's what I was told. I realize that this was a good while back but will we ever see it or a playable "beast man" race in the future that's just not some variation of a neko?

I've been a Second Lieutenant for almost 3 years now. When are we getting new grand company ranks?
