Questions to Global Community Producer Toshio Murouchi

Feedback/Questions
1. Would the developer team consider making ninja able to coat weapons in oils for different effects? Ability to create poisons, magical effects or something which makes it unique to them. I mean seen ninja in other games where ninjas can do that and makes since to have the ability.
2. The job doesn't feel like a true ninja, just trying to give the team ideas what to do for the class but would love for them to work on it for 4.3
I feel like ninja has been ignored for a long time, maybe not a lot of people play it cause the feel same way.

I'm a huge PVP player, and I've been a fan of the PVP system since the very beginning, when The Wolves Den was first released. I love all of the PVP modes, however, since Stormblood, the PVP system has a fixed hot bar, which does not allow you to use all of your skills. My concern/question is this, will FFXIV PVP ever change back to the original style, where you can use all of your skills? In my opinion, and many peers that I've contacted, PVP was more fun whenever each individual class had access to all of their skills, like PVE does. Over time, I've tried other games strictly for their PVP, but I always come back to FFXIV, because I love everything about this game, except for the fixed PVP hotbar... In Palace of The Dead, Each class has the opportunity to use every skill up to level 60, and I believe that if we used this system for PVP, where you can que at level 30, but can use the skills up to level 70, similar to Palace of The Dead, we can save PVP, and make it more fun for everyone.

Is there any chance the Hunt system will be looked at again in the near future? It is so discouraging for a newer player or someone new to Hunts to see we need 5000 kills for the wonderful tiger. Not everyone has the playtime or schedules to catch special spawns of 2000 S ranks.

It just feels like there was a missed opportunity to make them semi-relevant again with newer content like Eureka. Or entirely new content all together.

Could we add a setting allowing us to change the color of our fellow Fsee Company members display name? We have this option for party members, friends, and alliance members but not FC.

I would like to set up colors so my FC companions stick out more in a crowd.

Is there any intention to update the Character and Item Restoration policies? Final Fantasy XIV is now a nearly five year old game, so to have the once per account restriction is detrimental to longtime players.

Will DRK receive buffs or a re-work? As it stands DRK currently feels incredibly clunky and awkward to play. For example in o5s for the tank ghost PLD can use Hallowed Ground and WAR can easily kill the ghost before the ghost attacks while DRK either has to save and use most of its defensive cooldowns or pray their gear is good enough to kill the ghost in time without using cooldowns as DRK can't just use Living Dead for this mob without dying immediately afterwards.

they used to have two different venom types and then they removed them. I don't think they'll put something like that back.

Are their any plans on doing a Mount Contest ?

On Cactuar, we have a person who uses gathering bots across several accounts who has been reported numerous times. Nothing ever happens to this person so they brag and continue.

Is the information on the Report Cheaters not sufficient for GM's to take action? Please update the form to let us know if you need specific details. Otherwise, please have a look at the bot reports for Cactuar and permanently ban this person and their botting accounts. They are harming the community.

Could we have an instanced FC facility such as a mine or Outpost in Ishgard, it feels like there is nothing for Free Companies in the Heavenward areas, and a lot of people would like the snowy atmosphere.
