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

[Ashgarth]

Yoshida has expressed multiple times that he fully expects players to not play FFXIV nonstop. To take breaks from the game and play something else from time to time. Yet the housing system basically nullifies this for anyone who owns a house. Don't log in every 45 days and say goodbye to months of house-plot hunting.

Will the housing shortage ever be adressed?

With the Hotfix introduced to Leveling Roulette, are there any plans to possibly make said reward more diverse? While the choice of a Tier VI DOW/DOM is nice, it may be an even better incentive if rather than a Cracked Cluster you created a new NPC that you could exchange a "Roulette Token" for items that have limited ways of acquiring such as Hides/Skins, aka Monster Drops in general, which could be a better incentive for those who would rather run a dungeon for 20 mins to get say 50 of X material, then spend an hr spamming X mob in hopes of getting enough of the materials they need.

The ability to swim under water makes it possible to discover the zones from another angle, as in the air it is easier to move than on land, but these places are like the skies:
They are beautiful but they are especially empty and far too calm, why such expanses remains without monsters or NPCs? Do you expect a day to remedy this ?

Are there plans to adjust Dragoon at 70? LOTD feels like it takes too long to activate and it is very easily and harshly punished by mechanics that make the boss jump, and on top of that it's reliant on jump abilities that have animation lock

We can see that Job abilities can work on Role abilities, Scholar's Deployment Tactics on the now Role Eye for an Eye and Paladin's Intervention on the now Role Rampart for example, so would it be possible for Dark Arts to regain its evasion boost to Anticipation?

Expanding on this question: Would it be possible to start seeing more unique Job skill/Role skill interactions to help keep things feeling unique? For example, a Ninja's Smoke Screen having its recast time lowered a bit whenever they use Diversion.

Glamour: Novelty Gear

Being a main healer, I have found that we are drowning in robes with only a few select options for coats, shirts, tunics, and novelty gear. While I understand that players with female characters look very cute in the robes, males do not always seem to luck out in that regard. I understand that glamouring other jobs' gear on my Healer is out of the question, so my question is...

Could we please have more (and dyeable) novelty gear to glamour with?

Enough is enough with the useless fish! Do you EVER have any plans on making each fish have an associated craft or use besides fine sand? And can you please add to the variety of fish fishing retainers can catch, they're so much worse than their counterparts! The final bracket in HW of fish literally had no use across the board. Not a single one. Put them in tanks, let us mount them, let us cook them, but stop with the pointless ones. Also, enough with the fine sand! I have stacks of hundreds and hundreds piling up. Is bone ash supposed to be a joke?

Can we get something like NPCs relationships? Kinda with points, maybe with personal quests. Would love also to chose a love interest from the NPCs or something like that.
Would help explore important NPCs story and characters as a whole with personal story quests.

Any chance to get Moogle Stations outfits (like the Scions' ones) dyable?

Mounts: Archon Throne

The Great Gubal Library had a fantastic, jazzy theme of which I found myself enjoying as I wandered through, reading the various books strewn about, which leads me to ask...

Would it be possible to get the Great Gubal Library theme added to the Archon Throne mount?
