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

Throwback to 2.0 - Map Locations:

Way back when, Yoshi-P made the comment that the 2.0 areas would be seeing updates and changes like we saw in Mor Dhona, and then saw in Iydlshire.

Any idea when we will be seeing these changes to the 2.0 and 3.0 areas?

Many feel the skill remove was too extreme and left many situational skills in there that new players won't use and more experienced players rarely use. Will these skills such as Dragon Kick, overdrive, etc... be changed to make them essential more viable skills? seems odd to purge useless skills but still retain situational skills among the jobs.

Are there any future plans to release an expansion with all content already included, instead of bringing it in via patches, that way the dev team can have an extended break. At the moment vertical progression is killing the game.

Yoshi-P had made a comment back during the 2.x progression about how the full areas of locations (Thanalan, The Black Shroud, La Noesa, etc.) were not complete and totally finished out with the maps provided. He said that there is conversation about expanding those areas over time.

We are now on the 3rd expansion with a budges that is 6x the original budget of 2.x (heavensward was 2x the budget of ARR, and stormblood is 3x of heavensward)

Can Yoshi-P provide any comments/discussion/general conversations from the dev team regarding what the plans for the expansion/upgrading existing areas of 2.0 and 3.0?

Since we're inevitably going to get more beast tribes in this expansion, are we getting more daily allowances? And will beast tribe currency be added to the currency tab? I don't want to destroy old currency, but it's starting to take up a fair bit of space.

Do you have any intention of changing the way the glamour system currently works? The new restrictions on DoL/DoH gear and accessories have unfairly impacted those people who would want to use those items for glamour on non-appropriate classes.

Locations like The Royal Menagerie are beautiful places that many players love to take screenshots. Sadly due to limited access to areas like this it is impossible to take screenshots with friends in beautiful places like this. Would we ever see locations like this that are "One time visits" ever be re-added back in to visit any time we please?

Samurai's "Third Eye" skill seems unusually weak in terms of both the healing and attack potency it offers. I do like the option of choice, however is there any chance this could be adjusted or improved? It seems like the player needs to have perfect reflexes and timing in order to get something mediocre as a result.

Don't forget to provide Ishgard housing in 4.1!

Whenever new jobs are released, I like to make my hunter retainer take on my main class, which is Samurai. But the problem with this is that I have to reset and level the class again from 0. Are there any plans to help alleviate this unusual and cumbersome problem?
