Letter from the Producer LIVE LXVIII: Ask Your Endwalker Questions!

[StickyQuote]

While the Omicrons are involved in Endwalker and justify a resurgence of content involving Omega, are there any plans to add more glamour based on various humanoid 'enemies' like Void Queen Scathach, Sri Lakshmi, the humanoid versions of the Auspices of Stormblood, Yotsuyu, Zenos, etc?

With the change in 5.3 that tomestone gear from previous expansions is now upgraded by default, we lost access to one specific set of glamour items: the weathered versions of the Gerolt's Masterworks series sold in Mor Dhona.

Unlike most tomestone gear that simply becomes dyeable when upgraded, the Masterworks develop a glowing effect, meaning that the basic weathered versions have a separate usefulness to the upgraded versions - but there is absolutely no way to get them now.

Can we please have some way of acquiring these weapons again?


PS. I am sorry to have to raise these sorts of general issues in Q&A threads - it's an obscure issue that was probably overlooked in the otherwise very good idea to make the gear upgraded by default - but I tried raising it as a bug report initially and it was rejected as not being a bug even though it definitely seems to be a mistake. Is there any better way to have a permanent place for this sort of feedback, where nothing is truly "broken" but it doesn't seem to be working as intended?

Pointed out to me by a friend, but I don't know that it was explicitly confirmed in game. In our final scene with Emet, he lists off places to explore with the comment "I sure did". Was this an ode to vast amount of time he spent on Eorzea or, as my friend theorizes, was Emet a previous holder of the seat of Azem, giving the opportunity for him to have some grand adventures. Which leads to an additional question regarding Ancient lore and the Convocation; Can someone hold more than one seat? Not at the same time, but over the course of time?

Thank you so much for creating this amazing world that we all get to spend time in. You have created something truly magical!

With the announcement of the Valentione's event rewards, I have to comment on the ongoing design of chocobo barding.

The vast majority of barding seems designed to resemble human costumes with the sleeves removed.

I don't want to dress my chocobo up like a human. I want to use the sort of gear that would be used for a horse. Fancy saddles and harnesses - and simple ones too.

This simple design, for example, shows up on a lot of NPC chocobos but is not available as barding for our own chocobo:

In addition to hoping that we can get that one specifically at some point, I would like to see some bardings that are more ornamental but still have that lightweight look of just a decorated headpiece and straps to hold the saddle in place, rather than covering the entire bird in cloth.

Was there ever any thought of making Ardbert look like the player's warrior of light when he was introduced as the Warrior of Darkness, and not just having him look like the cover Warrior of Light?*

* - I do understand that this would have been a logistical nightmare as far as voice work went, I'm just curious if it was ever considered.

[Anathemar]

Is there any chance that we could get new macro commands that would allow us change our chocobo companion's barding, or perhaps link bardings to gearsets like we can with glamour plates?

Given that upon Zodiark's death, his influence began to unravel. Why did the sundering not also begin to unravel after Hydealyns Death?

[Anvaire]

Will we ever see either in flashback or othrewise what pre-sundered+elidibus was like?

[Anvaire]

The summoner rework is divicive, and while the identity issue is very solid, the rotation feels very restrictive and the quite monotomous. Are there any plans to adjust it to give more variance to the primal GCD Rotation and to alleviate the overly restrictive aspects of the job?

(I do really like the rework direction and think the issues Summoner faces need small adjustments to alleviate)

Hello, could you make Yugiri outfit available like you did for most of the main story characters ? Thanks
