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

The Ixion Fate seems to be a bit of an issue on a lot of servers right now as people are camping in the zone capping it out. This prevents people from getting into the zone to either progress in the story or to gather on DoL classes. It seems like an odd choice to implement an Odin type FATE in one zone allowing people to camp out, where Odin was a random pop across multiple zones. Would there be a way to bring back either instances to The Lochs, or a way to change the Ixion FATE to be across Fringes, Peaks, and Lochs instead of being in just one zone. If that's not possible, maybe do an auto d/c for people not doing anything in the zone.

Are we ever going to see updates to the quick exploration venture rewards? It seems like all we ever get back is level 50 loot even when our retainers are well into their 60s for levels and gear. Most of these items from quick exploration have little to no value at this point in the game.

Ending spoilers
Will we ever get to

visit the city of Ala Mhigo outside of a dungeon?

Will dungeons ever be nonlinear or open world?

There has recently been a request by the community manager to continue giving player feedback on classes. What is the most useful format for players to offer feedback on their classes to the Dev team and would you go over how you use this feedback in the decision process of class changes and balances.

Could you please increase the drop rate for mounts and minions from dungeons and trials added in patch 4.0?

Any chance in making the Armorie Chest actually useful. I know all we can currently store is AF1 for the begining classes, some Seasonal items, and Mogstation Items. Any chance in making it so we can store older pieces of gear like if we wanted to use it for Glamour? I mean I know the gear is outdated by I really did not enjoy having to sell my gear to make room for new gear. For example the Bard af2 and the Bard gear from Crystal tower. I like the look of them but don't have the room. Otherwise could you give us Mannequins to store gear on?

Is there any plan in the 4.0 series to look at overmelding again? It currently feels way too punitive for even the first overmeld when you are looking at grade IV and higher materia.
