Ask Questions for Return to Ivalice Guest Creator Yasumi Matsuno

Have you ever thought of making a Final Fantasy MMORPG in the Ivalice universe?
Given all that we already have with your games, we would already have a very good base on which to rely.

For your raid 24, you're inspired by Final Fantasy Tactics and Final Fantasy XII.
Why you didn't use Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 1 and 2, too?

It has been years, we didn't have a new FFTA.
With your return to the world of Ivalice, would not it be time to make a Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 3 ?
You could even include elements (characters, bosses, etc.) from FF XIV in this game (considering your partnership with FFXIV).

Rabanastre was a beautiful experience with some awe-inspiring locations.

Except the second boss of Rabanastre. Which made a lot of people quit.

Will adjustments be made to reduce the individual DPS requirements after one-hit-kill mechanics? I think DPS tests are very helpful, but they were done much better in all of the other bosses. It would be nice to have all those one-hit-kill mechanics at the end of the battle so the few survivors can still accomplish the task.

i love how people completely ignored the fact these questions are supposed to be geared towards return to ivalice-- not general concerns you have about the game... lol

anyways, in ffxii the pharos at ridorana was host to a plethora of bosses, is there a chance to see a return to some of these like phoenix, and also maybe the super boss yiazmat?

While Alma got a totally unique outfit, poor Ramza was stuck with recycled dungeon gear. Is there a good reason for this (for example, if Ramza is planned to get an outfit change due to plot reasons),or is it another case of the gear designers favoring female characters and forgetting to even consider male characters?

while i'm 100% against what they did to ramza in favour of alma, his outfit was Technically added as a drop... which both sexes could wear. hrm...

however, to piggyback off of this, is there a possibility to see/get ramza's virtuous mercenary outfit? (preferably male exclusive, if there are plans to release alma's dress.)

I’ve got a lot of friends on the Xbox and they fancy joining the fun in FFXIV, How is the progress on FFXIV making it to Xbox one?

Personally, what is your favorite Ivalice location from Tactics/FFXII?

[Rasler_Heios]

Do you think if it is possible to do a battle in grid-based format like in FFtactics here in FFXIV? This might be not possible for the dungeons and raids and trials, but can it be done via an open world duty instance? Even if just as a one-off as part of the return to ivalice storyline or sidequest?

With it being Return to Ivalice can we expect Viera to finally be around the corner as a New Race?

Aside from that I would absolutely love to see classic tactics chars show up a bit more. Meliadoul and Agrias are possibly my favorite of all time simply because they were my third and fourth seeing of a solid female role model in an SE game (Rydia, and Terra were my first and Second ) Will we see them?

Finally will we see some of the classic tactics or FF XII villains show up soon? Elmdor, Vayne, Weigraf, well you get the idea.
