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

[Rahela]

What exactly became of the Auri/Drahn girl from Eulmore, referred to in text boxes as the 'Weeping Warbler'? There's a theory going around that her "ascended" form is the sin eater called Forgiven Obscenity fought at Mt. Gulg. On the one hand, the Warbler was a singer who lost her voice due to a tumor in her throat, and Forgiven Obscenity's boss fight is themed all around music, from the attack names to the arena itself. But on the other hand, Forgiven Obscenity appears in a cutscene immediately after our meeting with the Warbler. So unless the scheduling and carrying out of the ascension process happens VERY quickly, the theory isn't likely.

So even if she didn't become the Forgiven Obscenity, did we ever encounter the Warbler as a sin eater?

Will the Ishgard Restoration have a storyline attached to it? And will it offer insight into the various important backstory characters (Hamignant, Edmont's wife, Haurchefant's mother, Aymeric's birth mother and foster parents) that still have yet to be seen by the players?

[Rahela]

What happened to Daigoro after Gilgamesh disappeared at the end of the Stormblood Hildibrand questline?

[Rahela]

We know that Aymeric has a cat, but do any other NPCs have pets that we don't know about?

[AmpelioB]

With the upcoming reconstruction of Ishgardian land is there any plans to make marriage in the Saint Reymanaud's Cathedral, or any sort of optional or different wedding plan?

Also, will weddings become available during World Visit someday?

[Yggberry]

Currently we only have elemental shard for gardening. Are there any plans to expand gardening and add crystal and clusters seeds?

[Evelio]

Will Eden continue the way it was like for the first part? E.g. no solo instances and fewer story and dialogue compared to Omega.
Or can we expect more content (story, lore, Solo Duty's) in between for the next parts?

[Etoh]

Is there possibility to tweak the Trust system a little less grindy than it is now (after completing MSQ)??? One dungeon felt like it took forever.

[Xilibrius]

Is there any plans to implement a system that would allow jobs that share gear to either have more than one of the same piece of gear or have alternate materia slottings? Example, skill speed has more value to Gunbreaker than the other tank jobs but since all the tanks share the same armor (outside of job specific gear which isn't BiS currently) any materia slots with Skill Speed in them would be a waste on say Dark Knight for example. So to have your gear optimized you'd have to constantly risk losing materia to unslot them and put in relevant materia to the job you're playing and it can be quite costly.

Do you have a healer main on the dev team that is responsible for job balance? And if not, do you think it would be possible to add someone who has this experience? Considering we have quite a lot of jobs now, one more person might make the work the job balance team has easier.
