Thread: Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXXVII! (Exploring Patch 4.0)

Hello.

With the addition of the Ruby Carbuncle, are there plans to add more glamours such as Shiva or Ramuh Egis? In the same regard, are there plans for fairy glamours as well?

Summoner's Aetherpact/Devotion is very unwieldy to use, and 5% isn't much. Can you either increase the potency of Devotion, or at least make it easier to cast it on a target party member?

Bar, Tavern or something similar?

Are there any plans to implement an area where people can gather to hangout an meet people?

In my head i imagine a place similar to the Gold Saucer, but without the arcades etc. Kind of like how the housing apartments have a sort of lobby, but with more emphasis on trying to have fun an meet people.

Or to keep it simple, make the current tavern areas in the major cities more interactive and desirable so people actually want to sit an hangout there.

There could be games related to taverns such as pool, or simply TT. That or the game already has Alcohol References and its listed in the ESRB rating, why not have drinking games?

I've been going through something personal an to try an better myself i want to be able to meet people an make friends but i don't know of anywhere that can act as a proper hangout, and i don't want to be shouting randomly in cities or something to try an meet people.

As was explained before release, there would be no new races added to Patch 4.0. I (and others) have always found that the race variety was rather lacking in Final Fantasy XIV, what with the characters all being some variation of humans, with none in particular standing out particularly hard. Will the next race you add also be very human in nature, or are there plans to eventually add more unique races to the game?

With the re-balancing, Summoner lost of a lot it's AoE potential. Miasma II was removed completely even though it was a heavily used skill. Yet you decided to let Summoner keep Tri-Bind, a skill which is never used in PvE. Why not keep Miasma II and just make Tri-Bind a PvP action?

Any chance WHM can finally get fixed?
Oh and the Ddos attacks ^_^

Getting a house has always been a problem, the plots of land on some servers are gone within moments of the servers coming up. There are people that play multiple characters and own multiple houses across those characters, have you ever considered making the plot of land you purchase tie into all the characters that a person might have on that world? That way all their alts can use the house. So for example instead of one player owning 8 houses (one for each of his characters) they can own only one house that their 8 characters can use.

We can see that Job abilities can work on Role abilities, Scholar's Deployment Tactics on the now Role Eye for an Eye and Paladin's Intervention on the now Role Rampart for example, so would it be possible for Dark Arts to regain its evasion boost to Anticipation?

Any chance of an extremely long/fluffy hairstyle being added? Long enough to reach the hips. Or actually, just more long hairstyles in general.

Please don't say the clipping is an issue... People who already choose to wear long hair and want more aren't bothered enough to be deterred by it! It's been ages since we got a new one, I think adding just one, at the very least, is only fair to balance out the current selection we have. I got so jealous when I saw every new Stormblood NPC that got custom hair got long hair that I can't wear. :(
