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

[Tetsujin_MK]

I liked how the Endwalker credits had a slideshow of our entire journey through FFXIV all the way to the end accompanied by music from all the expansions.

Question: How do you decide which moments from the story to use for the ending credits slideshow and how do you decide on which music tracks get to be played?

Deep dungeon with different objectives

Are there any plans to add a deep dungeon with different objectives per floor?
Similar to Nyzul Isle Investigation from FFXI.

Living Dead has received a lot of extremely negative feedback with regards to its implementation over the past seven years. Namely:

- The ability is unnecessarily convoluted and there's a lot of misinformation on how it works, including newer healers who may be encountering the ability for the first time
- Healers have no UI support to tell them how much remaining healing is required to clear the effect
- The English localization of the mouse-over tooltips continues to be incorrect despite player-submitted feedback about this
- The ability syncs up poorly with Benediction's recast, being on a 5 minute timer against Benediction's 3 minute timer
- You have a heal-or-die condition on the tank with the worst self-healing, taking away player agency
- Meeting the healing requirement causes the skill to end early, meaning that the effective duration is always shorter than other tank invulns
- As it stands post-buffs to other invulns, Living Dead is objectively inferior to Holmgang, in terms of recast, effective duration, and penalty condition

As fellow players of your own game, do you genuinely consider this to be a 'fun' ability to use, and are you aware that players are frustrated with it?

There are great difficulties when gearing magical DPS, as Black Mage wants a lot of spell speed and Red Mage wants very little. As most high end gear is "unique", this also causes a lot of clashes when it comes to melding shared gear. This ends up being a very stressful situation for time gated gear progression, and often leads to magical DPS players needing to obtain two different sets of gear to play both of these jobs, despite the fact that they share gear.

What are your thoughts on adjusting the melding system to facilitate the sharing of gear between different jobs that want to meld materia differently? For example, allowing you to save different melds for a specific gearset? Any other solution that the development team would have to ease this situation would be greatly appreciated.

Simple question, hopefully easy fix.
In a world where we have a zurvan miniature and a Sophia miniature housing item. What would it take to have a sephirot miniature added as a housing item?

Please and thank you!

Are there any plans to add more hotbars? With the increasing number of jobs, mounts, emotes, and other things in the game I (and I'm sure many others) are running out of space.

[Jynxohn]

Can there be a way to implement "Always Display Cross Hotbar" only during combat?

Summoner rework gameplay has received mixed reception. I think most agree that the basic gameplay feels good, however we have been left with a very simple barebones job. The job feels unfinished.

Are there any plans to add complexity before 7.0?

White mage does get the unicorn mount. So only really need the other three. DPS mounts would be cool too.

Conjurer gets the unicorn mount at Level 30, and it doesn’t have the same level of achievement behind it as the tank mounts.

[SargeTheSeagull]

Are there any plans to reshuffle the levels at which jobs gain abilities? Syncing down or leveling is not much fun on many jobs.
