Very good questions in there, but very few good answers (as usual), but now we got an official confirmation relic armor is no longer just a possibility, and it will be out with Eureka.

EDIT

Two new interviews:

Yoshi evaded the actual substance of that Monk question so hard he should be checked for whiplash.

[...]we have decided to consolidate these features into a companion app instead of implementing them directly into the game. A calendar, chat functionality, and more will be free features available within this app.

Welp, looks like I'll be sticking with being unguilded for the rest of the game's life, if FC will remain as useless as they currently are and the useful features are used on a "companion app" on smartphones.

Thanks for nothing I guess...

[Phireblast]

An expertly dodged question about Monk. Impressive.

Naoki Yoshida:
Including the new Performance Actions for bard, which will released with Patch 4.15, we have a solid roadmap of what roleplay-related elements we will be implementing in future updates. Similar to Performance Actions, we are continuing to put effort into implementing features that allow players the chance to create their own type of fun within the game. I hope that you enjoy these features and use them to enhance in-game roleplaying even further!

This makes me very excited ;w;

They told us they removed Featherfoot from the game but Yoshida seemed to dodge that Monk question with incredible ease.

The fault lies with the person that asked the question. That last phrase is a "suggested answer" and diverts the remainder of the question towards itself. Unnecessary stuff is unnecessary, and it certainly was completely undesired and unwarranted to add.

This can be said for Diadem as well, but when creating content for FINAL FANTASY XIV, we don’t envision anything we make as “content we want people to continue playing for an exceptionally long time.”

Good god, why? What is the point of spending so much time and effort creating content that you know will be completely invalidated in a month? I know it's the nature of this game to always move on to the next hot thing, but at least with stuff like Raids, there are always new players who might be interested in experiencing that content. Plus there are other incentives, like Raid Roulette and Wondrous Tails to keep older players coming back. Nobody is ever going to do Diadem again, and it's depressing to think that there's this huge aspect of the game that will forever be ignored by devs and players alike.

Really wish this wasn't the case, as I really want some of the stuff(mostly minions) that can only be found there. Sadly, I've resigned myself to having to pay ungodly amounts of gil for them.

PSU: You recently made changes to the Warrior job that has caused some dark knights to now feel slightly less useful in the end game scene, with certain moves like Dark Passenger feeling much less useful. Are there any plans to address these potential balance issues?

Naoki Yoshida:
While we are always looking closely at community opinions on adjustments, the team currently feels that these recent changes have not made a largely visible disparity between the classes. Many players are tackling the Unending Coil of Bahamut (Ultimate) and the trends in strategy and party composition is also a big indicator for us as well. However, I do not think it wrong to say that the contribution warrior can now bring with Shake it Off is more visibly apparently when compared to dark knight.

-_-

I really don't know how else to respond
