Can you make the Echo optional please? I felt like I could solve instances without it, but it was turned on anyway and I couldn't turn it off even if I reset the game. Thank you!

Does the lore/scenario team have any plans to give Kan-E and Merlwyb the same treatment Raubahn and Nanamo were given in the MSQ? We’ve seen Raubahn and Nanamo’s relationship fleshed out with Stormblood, but what’s the deal with Kan-E and Merlwyb, both individually as leaders and as allies/companions? It’s been years and I could at least use some closure on whether we’re ever going to get any more exposition on them or not...

Will there be any more information about the raen families or clans in the future?

Any chance we may be able to obtain dyeable Tribune ranked or higher ranked armor sets of the garlean armor via msq/dungeon or mog station?

In Patch 2.1, we give Warburton's journal to Urianger at Minfilia's behest. Will we ever get an update on the information inside?

Hello! My burning questions are related to Viera Lore, such as Viera Naming Conventions! Will it be similar to FFXII? Icelandic? Will these be Gender Neutral names, given the current lore about Viera gender not being apparent until at least their thirteenth nameday? Will Fran be a Leading Lady in future MSQ?! Will the Vorpal Bunny make an appearance? (Minion please?!) Will cutscene dialogue be different for Viera Players as it was for Xeala Players when journeying through the Azim Steppe?

I never gave up hope of Viera becoming a playable race! Thanks to all who made it possible!

Thank you all so much for your hard work on Final Fantasy XIV - the amount of love you all put into this shared experience as a development team is incredible.

I'm sure I speak on behalf of a lot of players: I really love the Dark Knight story quests, however upon finishing them, I was left wondering about a bit of lore that isn't fully expanded on. Sidurgu explains that the Temple Knights of the Holy See murdered his parents in front of him for being "dragon blood consuming heretics" based on their physical appearance as Xaela Au Ra, I'm actually curious to know how often (Xaela) Au Ra take refuge in Coerthas and were subjected to this same inhumane treatment by the Holy See.

In a pipe dream, I would love to hear the angry words Sidurgu has for Aymeric when he moves away from Ishgard's antiquated governing system.

In Stormblood, we are introduced to the Dotharl, which had brutally massacred another clan, the Hotgo.



The Hotgo were mentioned in the Alexander chain, where their founders, went back in time to create the tribe.





Where there any implications from this that lead to the Hotgo's fate?

We've explored Auri creation myths rather extensively through Xaela eyes, but that was it. How do these myths hold up in their Raen counterparts? Do they have different names for Azim and Nhaama that are more suited to their modern tongue?

Since the Blue Mage's weapons don't add any stats like other mage types focuses, is it possible to cast Blue magic using other types of weapons (or even none at all)?
