On a related note, will Kugane avoid this ghost town fate? I really love how it looks.

The existing mudras are now at five, but playable ninjas still only use three. Will that number increase?

Can we get a new Scion in place of the ones we have lost? Preferrably one witt a bow and arrow.

Will Matoya return? I really liked her involvement.

There are many threads in the NA section asking for more than just hairstyles for characters. Asking for things like: more faces for all races (midlanders are the only race to have more than 4, females have 5 and iirc males have 6), more tail options for both mi'qote and auri (like length and design), more scale options for auri, eyebrows for male highlanders (male au ra can add/remove them without issue), the ever-demanded butt slider, etc. In short, more racial traits and characteristics that flesh out and expand the characteristics of the race choice so it allows players to make their character unique outside of glamour and a hairstyle.

This is because the character creator is really limited, with races not really having noticeable differences in their dichotomy: auri is just skin ranges and scale color, miqote eyes over fangs, elezen earrings or eye-markings, lalas having mirror eyes or not. Even when compared to a character creator that SE has in FFXV as a in-house example, and both games running on a similar engine, the different choices are like night and day. Are there any plans to update and/or overhaul the character creator in 5.0?

I know the Othard main scenario is done but will we be able to explore the mythology and lore of the place a bit more, like Tamamo-no gozen or the possible othardian origin of Zantetsuken?

In regards to MNK. Greased lightning has become more of a crutch than a job gimmick and the chakra system is still used for one skill (the forbidden chakra) mostly/only. While we see in the Job Story that MNK NPCs have more visible power ups and even the WoL MNK has access to a lot more than them but we never use it.

Are there plans to overhaul WoL MNK to match its job story image?

In the previous QA, you let the community know that you'd need at least 6 months for DRKs overhaul request to happen, will this mean that it'll be available by 4.4?

Can Soken get a payrise for all the truly amazing music he created for Stormblood?
