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

This extension was the occasion to give an identity to each job but this was completely missed for the healers.

- I think particularly to the Scholar who had one of the best identity in the game before 4.0 and because of the changements of Cleric Stance, the addition of Role Skills Shared, the shield buffed for Astrologian, changements/nerf to the Scholar's skills (tied to the Summoner), as well as the new skills, we arrived at a pure and simple destruction of the Scholar job.

- For the White Mage, Lilies are a nice attempt to redress the job (+ the awesome mana regain), but are not yet sufficiently well exploited. With the stacks of confession from Plenary Indulgence, on the other hand, it is reversed, especially at the level of their readability on the interface.

- Concerning the Astrologian, if we look at its progress from 3.0 to today, he is doing well, and his new abilities are really well thought out. However, the problem is its healing system (with the two stances). This makes that there is and will always be an incompatibility with the other two healers. This must change so that the three healers can coexist together !

How do you intend to remedy this?

We have been told to not give up hope and that the Viera race will be there eventually. Any idea when they will be a playable race? I am a big fan of the tactics series and Final Fantasy 12 so when Ivalice came into mention I got really excited. I hope to see the Viera soon but still everything you have done so far is absolutely amazing. Best MMORPG I have ever played.

We also plan to accommodate free companies members that plan to move together with or without a free company estate.

Can we get more info about this so far a lot of us are left in the dark waiting...

When will you enable us to send tells while in duties? The last time this was mentioned was the live letter Q&A from August 7, 2013 where you told us it's currently masked.

Will you ever allow skills placed within macros to utilize the same ability queue used by non-macroed abilities. As it stands now, using any form of macro is detrimental to the player.

What does WHM have that can compete with Chain Strategem and Balance? A lot of raiders don't like bringing WHM because it doesn't bring anything unique to the party.

Will you ever add primal totems, raid parts, and raid manifestos to the currency tab in order to clear all the bag/retainer space these items occupy?

What will be done in the future to address the keybind/skill bloat that Stormblood did not alleviate?

simply said there is armor / clothing that can be dyed but to a extend... if a hat has 3-4 objects and we can only dye one part leaving the random dye that was on the hat in the first place seems a little redundant, do you have planes to change this in the future?
