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

[Raikai]

Viera and headgear:

Viera can use some helmets like the hoods from the YoRHa sets or the ones from Babil Tower. It appear that they are able to do so because those items won't show any hair at all.

If that is the reason, would be possible for more items that behave like that to be unlocked like for example, the Rain Hood?

[Raikai]

Weapon models:

Every now and then, the jobs get a really unique weapon design that is completely outside of the box, like Monks getting kettles or Dark Knights getting what looks like a spiked bat. However I feel that Summoners and Scholars have the short end of the stick because they are bound to the most boring weapon: books.

There are any chances for these jobs to get something more distinct? Like for example, a set of floating pages, or maybe a crystal? After all, they are used to store knowledge too!

Gameplay functionality:

There is any chance of implementing a mouse-over function to the party list UI without relying on macros?

It's insanely difficult to play Astrologian and keep up the global cooldown rolling when I have to constantly cycle the target through the boss, the tank and the party members I have to use a card on.

[Munike]

The shard and the source share the same universe, right? So, since the universe was not sundered, and the shard beings visit the space, they could meet the source ones? What would happen? Do they actually share the same universe?

Can you let us put the non-replica relic weapons that we upgrade into either the glamour dressers or the armoire?

[Raikai]

Blue Mage

I would love to attempt completing the Blue Mage Log weekly targets on my own with Basic Instinct, because it's hard to find players for it with the Party Finder and using Unrestricted Party to go alone won't count for the completion of those targets.

Could it made possible by using a conjunction o Unrestricted Party + Level Sync?

[Raikai]

Blue Mage (again)

Would be possible to grant Blue mages solo entry in deep dungeons, with their own solo achievements and separate scoreboard?

[Iscah]

Would you consider making the Alexander and/or Omega quests mandatory, similar to the Crystal Tower?

For Omega in particular, it plays a number of important roles now. It sets up how the Crystal Tower crosses the rift to the First; gives key background to the dragons and the Omicrons; changes Midgardsormr's status from active to dormant; builds on Cid and Nero's relationship and even introduces (for a non-legacy player) the first mention of the Bozja Incident, laying the groundwork for the Save the Queen quest line and particularly the part where we explore Cid's memories.

It seems like it's becoming an important link in a number of stories, so it seems strange for it to remain optional.

[Seiori]

Are there any plans to add Emet-Selch and Hythlodaeus as minions in the future?

[rhea_from_twintania]

Wondering if you would ever consider releasing longer hairstyles that NPCs already have, such as the Venat hair, or Ysayle hair? Nobody would mind the clipping too much.
