In the HUD layout we have only 1 bar for status effects. Have you considered splitting it into 2 bars. one for buffs and one for debuffs?
Currently if you make the bar larger to be able to see your debuffs for example then the space between the buffs become larger as well so you need to look far left for your buffs and far right to see your debuffs.
Also, did you ever consider making us able to turn the status effects bar to be vertical like we can with our hotbars?

Lately in NA and EU datacenters there is a tendency of PF groups "obliging" heals and tanks to play a role of dps, causing unnecessary stress on many players (not their chosen roles).

Is there any chance that Cleric Stance and DPS stance on tanks will be turned off in PvE instanced content (like Cleric Stance in PvP) to avoid this unfortunate tendency?

Note that i'm only talking about light/full party instances, such as dungeons and raids, not in open world/solo content.

Will you consider implementing a system where unwanted/left over favor slips (trader/matron) will be able to be traded back in for some blue scrips, even if it is at a reduced rate?

The items these favors are used for are now, in essence, worthless and as such I would much rather be able to trade them in rather than tossing them to the floor

Will we ever get a way to have smart control over our chocobo companions? A system like the gambits in Final Fantasy XII could be a nice addition to get the most out of our companions' actions.

Hello, i was born as a BLM, i live as BLM, and i will die as a BLM, there will be in the future a buff for BLMs to let players cast their spell while moving? like there are too many aoes in new dungeons and raids, and it's pratically frustrating to interrupt a cast just to move outside of them. Plus i'd like to see a Thunder 4 spell, like a standing aoe in the air giving thunder debuff and doing damage to all the mobs under it.
And there will be a BLM only mount? like a meteor or something like that?
(and this last thing that brings alot of hate towards who demands it: Viera look-alike race, since there are a lot of requests from various players from past years, i wish you could do something for us that love Fran from FF12)

We know the elemental affinities of Ifrit, Titan, Garuda, Leviathan, Ramuh, Shiva, Bismarc and Ravana. What about the other Heavensward primals? I'm assuming the Warring Triad are: Sephirot: earth/water; Sophia: wind/lightning; Zurvan: fire/ice. Would that be correct? And where does Thordan fall into in this? Ice/lightning, or no element?

Are there plans to expand cross-platform support to the Xbox One and Nintendo Switch?

[Meirii]

Would it be possible to have a Glamour log, similar to our mount/minion log so we can have the skins of gear instead of filling retainers full of our favorite sets?

[Mimilu]

What are your thoughts on the current popularity of the Carbuncles over Egis?

Is there a chance that those of us, who just cannot get used to legacy controls, could get some way to disable backpedaling? It's really just an unnecessary hindrance most of the time.
