Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXXV! (Patch 4.0 "Stormblood")

Emotes question!

Can we expect to see a significant number of emotes and dances in Stormblood that have a lower requirement for attainment, like for players of battle classes having trouble getting the Moogle dance, which is locked behind Crafting?

FATE Question!
I was curious if the dev team has considered adding gathering FATEs to the world and Crafting FATES to cities? Where HQ or higher collectability items are worth more participation but would also allow for lower level crafters/gathers to participate? I think that would be a lot of fun and a new way to level crafters and gatherers!

Thank you for your time and consideration!

Beast Tribe Question!
I was curious if the dev team has considered adding battle, crafting, and gathering to future beast tribes so that any one single tribe isn't locked behind content some players don't enjoy? I love doing everything but I have many friends that refuse to craft or gather to complete things like the Ixali or Moogles.

Thank you for your time and consideration!

Crafting question.


will the specialist restricted crafting recipes system be permanently removed in SB?

As the Magitek fight during 3.56 was very enjoyable, are there any plans to add mount battles into the gold saucer against players and KI? Like Arrihadeus can cast "Almost Holy" or extreme trial mounts can execute significant abilities from there respective primal. That would be a nice addition.

With 4.0, will crafter specialty abilities be retweaked to be actually useful, or will we see a revamp of the system to give crafters a stronger reason to choose specialists (IE: less items per synth, higher yields, more craft/control than the current extra 20)? And will specialist crafts remain exclusive for longer?

Crafting Question!
I was curious if the dev team has considered adding more recipes that use the Name of "Element" crafting abilities? It really seems like there aren't too many times those come up except for specific needs. Would the dev team consider adding more that can utilize it or changing the way it works such as corresponding with the shard/crystal/cluster elements used?

Thank you for your time and consideration!

Hi there! My girlfriend and I were wondering if there would be new themes/options to marry in 4.0. We would really like to marry, although everyone already saw most of the themes and already got the minion. So we would love to see something new coming in 4.0 and invite our friends to see some new animations in there! ^^ (hint: a typical Japanese wedding in Doma would be amazing)

Other question: with the NA servers moving to another location and EU players receiving a notable increase in ping on these servers (based on an earlier interview), would we be able to move to EU servers without the maximum gil-transfer restriction? If the ping really becomes a problem for us, we will have no choice but to transfer to a EU server, although i'm not too keen on losing my gil. Especially since economies are balancing pretty decently on most servers now and houses are the same price on every server.

Great to hear that the number of housing items is increasing but can you also increase the number of gardening items too? 20 items for a cottage is rather limiting!
