Letter from the Producer LIVE 53: Ask Your Shadowbringers Questions!

[Guardian]

Would it be possible to see dyeable Yafaemi gear from the Weeping City of Mhach raid some time in the future? It is one of my favorite gear sets but not being able to dye it limits the options I have with it.

[Alleluia]

Will we ever get a quest/story that provides some resolution for Tiamat?

Kinda random question, I know, but the fact Ishgard stuff is coming has me thinking about her. I've always felt bad that there's nothing even her father can do for her and we ultimately just leave her alone to her grief and guilt.

First of all, a big and heartfelt thanks to the team and Yoshi-P for bringing to us what I consider the best final fantasy story to date!

Yoshi-P, you have mentioned in one of your interviews prior to the launch of Shadowbringers, that for 5.X series, you were looking into increasing content not horizontally, but vertically also. What do you mean by that?
I am interpreting this as you saying that you will allocate the team's resources into creating more content we like (for example an extra dungeon every patch, or perhaps an extra raid boss?) instead of spreading your resources thin to create content that you don't know whether the community will like (e.g. Eureka, Blue Mage, Majhong, etc).

Would you consider introducing a Moogle minion in the future that is based on the actual in-game Moogles and that does not look like a doll? (We got the realistic minions for Namazu, Dragonets)

As they are such a staple of the FF series I would love to see another Moogle minion, this time based on the real in-game moogle model.

Question:
What kind of testing are there when making healer changes. It feels like whoever’s making AST & SCH changes never main the class.

Will the Encyclopaedia Eorzea Volume I be reprinted and sold in Europe again? It has been unavailable for over 18 months now and many players are still looking for a copy.

With the release of Shadowbringers, Summoner rotation has been a lot less intuitive, and is more optimal when you plan ahead what to use, and when to use it. It has become one of the harder jobs to play, yet its damage output suffers greatly, with Red Mages performing almost as good, when they have a much simpler rotation, and the resurrection utility. Can we see a buff to Summoner either in form of potency, or in reduction of its complexity to prevent it from feeling unsatisfying?

It is absurd in my opinion that Machinist, a ranged physical dps job which has an extremely easy rotation at the moment, performs better than a far more complex job like Summoner, according to FFLogs. While damage is not everything these jobs do, as someone who played SMN a lot more than MCH last expansion, I find it pointless to maintain SMN despite loving it so much, due to the effort it requires to pull the same performance as a MCH, that does it a lot easier.

Are there any plans to come out with a new type of roulette? For example duty roulette minimum ilvl. Where we do a dungeon or trial and or raid at minimum ilvl that could be. Also is there any plans to come out with new guildhest

[ZellosWilder]

Are there any plans to add a hard version of 24-man raids so that there is a normal version and harder version similar to savage?

[ZellosWilder]

Are there any plans to add more challenging 4-man content? such as the palace of dead but more challenging similar to FFXI's Nyzul Isle endgame system with having different objectives to complete per floor, more rooms per floor, puzzles and more RNG so that it feels more like a labyrinth.
