Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE LXIV (Natsuko Ishikawa)

[Jaywalker]

The dynamic between Elidibus and Varis is one that fascinated me a lot. In specifics, Elidibus' line "A father should not outlive his son" as well as his attempt to spark some value for Zenos in citing him as first son, then heir, then experiment. He later seems to relish reminding Varis of Zenos not only in revealing he wears his form, but in calling him 'father'.

Knowing that Elidibus was the youngest member of the Convocation while also being the Heart of Zodiark (counterpart to our "Mothercrystal")--would you mind sharing your thoughts on that dynamic and how the role of fatherhood may or may not have shaped it?

While I don't want you to reveal too much about your future plans (okay, perhaps a lie...), could you update us on your approach for your story writing after the conclusion of 6.0? Will we see another, multi-expansion saga, or do you plan on individual, self-contained stories for each expansion? How do you envision this working?

Will we see any changes or improvements to the glamour system? Since glamours are the real end game, the current glamour system is seriously lacking compared to other games.

Not necessarily for Fan Fest, but can we get clarification at some point about how the worlds and dimensions are laid out? We have the shards but also the split between the physical and aetherial worlds, the Lifestream, the aetherial rift, the interdimensional rift, other worlds in physical space... what things are connected? Is the Lifestream shared or unique to each shard? Where exactly is the Mothercrystal situated? Is the rift that the Ascians retreat to the same rift that we crossed to reach the First?

Zenos is a fantastic character, but crucial information about his past and the extent of his loneliness is missing from the game itself and can only be found in the short story "The Hunt Begins" featured in The Chronicles of Light book. Are we going to learn more about his past in Endwalker? Will we discuss his personal motivations to the same extent that we did Emet-Selch and Elidibus in Shadowbringers?

will there be more COLLECTOR'S EDITION / Box to pre-order?

Will we ever find out who or what Sabik is?
