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

[Ramesses]

Can you please explain the true origins of the House of the Crooked Coin and give us any additional great information about this place? Can we expect to see it play another prominent role in the future?

[Ramesses]

Shadowbringers made me laugh, made me tear up and made me feel empathy for the characters-- however, what more can you tell us about Azem? Where are the remaining (shards?) of his soul, when can we soon travel to those other dimensions (as we did with the First) and how does that relate to the remaining six shards of the Source?

[Ramesses]

Perhaps it's just me or perhaps I'm simply reminiscing about the final days of 1.0 when Dalamud kept getting larger; however, I keep noticing there are now more different coloured stars in the night skies --particularly on very clear nights in-game-- many of them in really vivid bright colours--- does this have any significance to something we can expect in Endwalker?

[Ramesses]

I'm uncertain if you wrote the tale for the Sorrow of Werlyt-- which was very brilliant with its very poignant tone yet with a much needed undertone of redemption for Gaius. Then the thought kept occuring to me-- Are Gaius and Noah friends? I ask this because after finishing patch 5.5 and also chapter three of the Save The Queen questline, I noticed that they have a few similar ideologies. They would obviously have been colleagues as fellow Legati under Emperor Solus-- but were they ever close friends in their earlier careers?

[Ramesses]

Please -- when is the Sadu and Magnai union going to happen?

*(Credit to the artist nijiwakoeee who really captured the on-going dynamics between them)*

[Ramesses]

Cirina Mol is such an excellent character-- my main charcater on the Excalibur server has been a Raen Au Ra since the race was introduced back in 2015 and I thoroughly enjoyed working with Cirina during the Azim Steppe questline. Will there be more stories with her?

[Ramesses]

Can you please tell us anything about these mysterious Isles floating above the Garlean capital? I've been wondering ever since we got the new Eorzean map in Stormblood and it's still present within the map shown in the Endwalker trailer





They look a lot like the floating isles of Rivenroad (where we fought Nael) but the ones on the map look larger and more mysterious

[ItMe]

Who was all writing the story for the Nier raids and what role did everyone play in this collaboration?

[Jaywalker]

With all we've been learning about the Convocation of Fourteen through Shadowbringers, I was wondering if you could tell us a bit about the black masked assistants and what draws them to participate in Ascian schemes? Some seem to show loyalty to particular Convocation members, such as the Ascians of the Twelfth Staff, Chalice, Pentacle, and Sword toward Lahabrea in the Summoner questline. We heard around patch 5.3 that Elidibus had sent many of them to cause trouble on the First as well while he attempted to rejoin the Shard, and it sounds like many if not all were killed by Scions. Do they believe in the mission? Is it personal ambition or attachment?

[Martiallais]

Is there any chance we might get more Duskwight lore now that we're back on the Source in Endwalker?
