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

When are we crossing over with Final Fantasy XV or Final Fantasy VII?

With the new Achievement for clearing Palace of the Dead solo entirely, the recent server issues makes it quite unreasonable to even attempt to try as a disconnect will result in losing all progress entirely. Is there a way to identify if a disconnect was because of a server issue? I understand that its difficult as players can just force a disconnect by shutting down their network or close the client manually, but recently Palace of the Dead seems like a content, which is not very attractive due to that disconnection risk.

Can we please have a word on sprint? It's glorious that it doesn't use TP now, even though it's cd got nerfed however that change made non-combat movement awful.

For example: I picked up the sightseeing log just recently. A lot of the old ARR vistas require sprint-jumps (on top of being pixel perfect sometimes, like the gridania leatherworker one...). Having to wait inbetween tries while your vista window trickles by feels awful. Please consider giving sprint no cooldown in sanctuaries or give us a toggle option.

I know there are voices shouting "it doesn't affect new zones though as they are built different" but please, there's no reason to keep frustrating issues in the starting areas as that may alienate newer players.

Is it possible to add a "Select Another Retainer" option in the retainers menu to avoid exiting the summoning bell menu every time to go to the next retainer?

Red Mage wields a rapier but only uses it once the job has enough mana. It feels like a last minute addition to the job. Can the sword be more integrated into the jobs rotation/more melee skills?

Is error 90002 gonna be fix anytime soon? It's been happening to a lot of players.

Were the changes in skills, especially the change of cross class to role skills, made with only group players in mind?

Some cross class skills were useful for solo play that would not normally fit the "normal" role of that class. Such an example is that Thaumaturge was able to acquire Protect and Cure using cross-class skills before and is now no longer able to. While this may not be "meta" for group play, it (and other non-role skill choices) were useful for newer players soloing through quests. Is there a chance that some of the past non-role skill configuration may come back?

Last question! If / when beastmaster becomes a playable job, would you please please please consider introducing it at a time in the game's growth where solo play is real without uncapping existing dungeons? I understand it's a multiplayer game, but it would be really great to have a larger amount of solo content outside of random story missions and side quests and though I'm leaning on XI I treasured beastmaster as a solo job.
