HOUSING

On some servers, there is an extreme issue of housing availability. The addition of 720 houses is a help, but no way near enough to meet the demand on many of those servers.Is there any plans on releasing additional housing beyond the Shirogane 720?

Are there any plans to increase the limit of friends allowed on one persons friends list?

[DreamAngel-Ren]

You already can't. Characters and FCs are limited to one house, each, and I don't think they'd prevent people from buying houses on alts.

Huh. I thought players could buy more than one house, but they're in different city states. For example, for the 'asked' restriction, once you buy a house in Shirogane, you can't get a house in Ul'dah.
Buut, since that already exists then never mind. Carry on.

Back when Red Mage was announced we were told that it was a ranged DPS that can use melee attacks and magic. How will their main stat affect both?

[TorchicEX]

Red Magic was said to be a mix of black magic and white magic but at the same time they are considered a ranged DPS. What kind of white magic will we see? Will it be like small buffs that increase damage or speed, a buff that does regen or will it act as like healing and raise? and will it also derive from their main stat.

[TorchicEX]

Will the Rapier and Magical Crystal Medium be considered to be in the same equipment slot (main hand) or will they be split into main hand and off hand.

Yoshida mentioned that he is interested in creating original jobs and that if Samurai was to be a tank, he would make it a Shogun. Is there a possibility to see an XIV original Shogun Job in the future?

Will the level 60 dungeons / roulette give xp at the start of Stormblood?

Overworld Combat

You've mentioned that you plan to shorten battles with overworld enemies. Can you elaborate a bit more on this? Will enemies hit a bit harder to compensate, or are you aiming to decrease the difficulty overall?

Will primals in the 4.x series feature weapons only such as in Heavensward, or will they also yield accessories similar to A Realm Reborn? The "weapons only" loot pools made primals like Bismarck feel dead on arrival and the odd patch primals feel less useful to people who had already cleared the high end raids.
