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

[ritsubel]

We've gotten a lot of scions in their new outfits as "Dress-up (name)", but while we got Alisaie, we haven't gotten Alphinaud! Is there one planned? His outfits are similar, but it would be nice to have a matching one for Dress-up Alisaie.

Post 5.05:

Thank you SE for the healing fixes we’ve seen so far.

The healers are currently still suffering from a lack of interesting things to do during downtime (being reduced to broil/glare/malefic spams with the occasional DoT). What do you plan to do to give healers more engaging things to do when there is no healing required?

Is there any chance that GNB's Keen Edge combo sound effect will be reverted to the original?

Everything has to be reverted. The difference between 123 combo and cartridge combo is so big it feels like using different weapons. It's very incoherent.
5.0 sounds were top tier, now it feels very low quality and bland (including explosions). It doesn't sound like a gun, or a blade, and certainly not like a gunblade.
Just revert it Square Enix and end this mess. Barely anyone complained in 5.0. I haven't seen more than 2-3 people satisfied with 5.01 changes.

^ this, keen edge isn't the only issue, but basically everything that changed is bleh.

Dear Yoshi P,

Please don’t change any audio. It’s the masses who don’t mind the noises or like them that don’t say anything. Only a minority of people who do not like the sounds are complaining, because people only express negativity not positivity. (This is different from wanting something new). Just speaking for the Gunbreakers who love it as it is.

You are very wrong my friend. https://www.strawpoll.me/18398181/r
Current Gunbreaker sounds are a failure. They have to be reverted or at least reworked to something else. But this is a waste of resources, since we can use perfect 5.0 sounds.
Keep in mind barely anyone expressed negativity in 5.0. Now we have a storm here on OF. There is only one way to stop it.

Will you continue to fix past/current/future helmets for Viera and Hrothgar?

Why are DRG and NIN jobs that tend to have gear that only they can wear when it comes to tome progression? It makes it harder for those who main said jobs to branch out and try other jobs if the one they chose isn't working out for them. Basically, why can't NIN be on the same gear list as BRD/MCH/DNC and DRG on SAM/MNK at least then if a player finds they don't like the feel of one job they can easily swap to another job since the only thing that would be holding them back is getting a new weapon.

When are the rest of the job changes coming?
