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

[Rahela]

The upcoming Father of Light TV drama, and the Dengeki novel by Yuu Fujiwara are both centered around real-life people bonding over FFXIV. But will there be any novels or side stories set within the game? More similar to the Tales from the Calamity/Dragonsong War stories, but longer. North American MMORPG titles like World of Warcraft and Star Wars: The Old Republic have spin-off novels that take place within the game's universe and expand upon lore that otherwise would not be told. Would it be possible to do something like that?

Will we see the return of some of the older primals from 2.x series as we did in Heavensward? (Titan HM), Garudas small apperance in Xelphatol?

Seemed fun to remind the players that these primals are still being summoned while we are away.

There are several ways to help players catch up in game. They all however differ in currencies and make it slightly more difficult for players to keep up while continuing into the stories of 2.x-3.x. 2.x alone you can easily obtain level 54 at the least before even entering heavensward story. Will you simplify or offer more ways to keep up gear wise?

Do you think it should be better if healer damage potency should be adjusted for Stormblood in a similar manner with tanks on STR and VIT for 3.2? Like make damage be based on mind rather than intellegence. Mostly asking this because there are some new healers and those planning on switching to healers that aren't 100% used to switching to cleric stance and forget it's on when they're trying to heal a tank that's about to get hit hard.

[Molic]

are we going to see genbu, suzaku, byakko, and seiryu? since they were on the world map.

Will Red Mage be able to directly heal a party member, as it is implied in the name?

[ShaliaK]

Is there a chance that a feature could be implemented that allows players to join their friend's dungeon instances directly when there are missing members, through the friends list, linkshell lists, or FC member list?

On these large servers houses get sold for five times (or more) the original price of the plots and it keeps going up (A large gets sold for around 300million, Mediums for 160million etc). for those wanting to sell their houses is there a 'fair price' that the team can announce to help balance these prices - or is there an in game system to be implemented to support new home buyers or future home buyers?

[MichiKyou]

In regards to cross server party finder - Will there ever be an opportunity to do things such as Treasure maps (diadem portals) or the like as a cross-server group?

During Fan Fest, Yoshi P was asked a Q+A question about more challenging content (the answer given was confusion about making our minds up about whether we want harder - gordias - difficulty, or easier - creator - difficulty). This question, we have since learned, was misinterpreted, and the answer was not applicable to the meaning of the question, so I will ask in more depth regarding that questions real subject matter:

Would it be possible to get more midcore level content around the difficulty level of extreme primals in order to bridge the gap of player skill, and allow players more accessibility and training to give them the skills for raid content. As well as this, regarding dungeon content, would it be possible to increase the difficulty of them in the same way that difficulty was increased between void ark and weeping city of Mhach?
