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

[Ruminator]

Going as far back as 2.1 Live Letters, developers have sporadically mentioned the possible concept of a Hybrid Role over the years.

In March, an interview with Yoshida was posted on a gaming news site (Twinfinite.net) where the concept was once again mentioned, this time in the context of deciding what direction to take when designing Red Mage. Does this mean the possibility is still in consideration in some form or another, and have there been any developments on the topic you'd be willing to discuss?

Hello

Can you answer wether the people who moved to the new server Omega be able to move off before the 90 day rule? the reason i ask this is because we where not aware of there being another EU server added until a couple of days later.

There are people like myself who wanted a less congested world and a quieter server now stuck because of the rule. Do you not think it would be fair to let people have the choice and ease the pressure on Omega.

It has become quite congested and i know i am not the only one who feels this way.

Thank you

I've been going back to do some of the older beastman tribes (2.x), though doing 3 a day per tribe is a bit of a slow grind, have you considered raising the cap of how many quest you can do for each tribe per day? Instead of doing just 3 maybe allowing us to use all 12 of the daily allowance on one tribe?

Kugane is huge, i love it, but it only has one summoning bell. Can we get another one, maybe 2 more?

1) As others have pointed out, SCH was hit to hard, it is not very playable. The AST is where SCH was prior to 4.0. SCH doesnt retain mana nearly as easy as the other Healing Classes. After years of SCH playing, I've dropped it Cold, and took up the other Healers more as a main now. Can this be Re Looked at?

2) Summoner Loosing Healing for the PET makes it Next to impossible to Play. It is a Pet Class, there isnt an MMORPG on the market that does somehow let you heal your pet.

3) Something is Seriously Wrong with the DRK and WAR classes. Being a Healer, I've never had much difficulty keeping the Tanks up. However now, it is harder than ever. I'm not sure what is going on they Can't Keep Aggro as they use to, Lower defensive abilities. Why is this? Were you attempting to Prevent the Tanks from Pulling Large Groups in Dungeons?

4) Last: It was commented that after 4.0 Launch; Free Company Transfers were going to be implemented. When might this occur so that it can Relieve Congestion on servers like BALMUNG?

Can you give us about your miserable state of servers at the launch of Stormblood and its few later weeks? Did you actually underestimate the flow of players joining the new journey or was it pure ignorance?

Can we expect better textures via a texture pack, atleast for your PC players?

Any update on the Free Company Alliance or the Cross-server Free Companies?

[Remus]

Recently, there has been a lot of talk on the OF and Reddit about the textures of the game. Has the development team considered perhaps updating the textures of the game? Everything else looks really good but the textures really seem to holding it back mainly when zoomed in during cutscenes. Some type of HD texture pack.

Thank you

I'm aware of the current limitations, but would be possible to make a cross-data center Friend List/Linkshell (once the X-server FL and LS are implemented)?
