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

[Drake_Ryu]

Will there be a consideration for the re-release of FFXIV on a new graphics engine, or if not, would Yoshi-P consider bringing a new Final Fantasy MMORPG as a continuation of FFXIV?

[Suzuki_Yui]

Will we ever see Emet again?

[Shougun]

Could we see more chocobo content, like chocobo paradise, hot and cold, maybe breeding in our island sanctuary (racing has breeding but it's more like the saucer does it for you and you fusion-ha items together)? Perhaps new combat companion mechanics like chocobo jobs (FF tactics unlock) or being able to take them as a party member for trust / squadron content. Just some more chocobo content

Thank you!

Why does BLM specifically get considerations and accommodations to its design that other Jobs don't get? For example their Polyglot accumulation allows their meter to fill despite being full on 2/2 polyglot but SGE's Addersgall accumulation comes to a hard stop when 3/3 or as another example BLMs get to have a second stack of Triplecast without using up one of their trait slots unlike other Jobs even though other Jobs with similar additions to their design having to use up one of the traits they're given for a given expansion's design rework.

Assuming the hard working legends on the graphics team are able to implement Hrothgar F and address the issue of hairstyles and headgear for both Hrothgar and Viera and for both of their genders in full, is there any consideration given to adjusting Roegadyn M animations so that their necklaces and accessories and certain legwear don't sink below their skin based on their pose? This also extends to any of the 2.0 launch races and any finnicky issues they have as well (I'm not as apprised but I'm sure they have their issues too with regard to how they animate).

[Alpheus]

Will it be possible to have a spell name toggle available in game for FF fans on the ENG client who wish to have the proper -ra, -ga, -ja suffixes for spells? The current numbering system being utilized was rationalized back in ARR development as being more accessible/making more sense however with the ENG Client having spells upgrade from base form to spell III forms and skipping over the II variant it makes less and less sense to say nothing of spell names like High Fire and High Blizzard sounding more like they being in a Dragon Quest game than a FF game. That's without even mentioning that non ENG XIV clients already have the traditional spell naming conventions used in the franchise previously.

This is asked because I made macros to rename these spells manually however macros are not as responsive as regular non macro commands seem to be even with my latency which is in California.

How are job designs balanced in terms of how a job should lorewise be and how a job feels fun to play?

[fatalnymph]

Would the dev team ever consider adding the option to remove the auto play feature of the cinematic that plays at the start screen if you AFK long enough?

Is there any chance of us ever getting Lyse's outfit and hair as available store items, there's a lot of demand for it and I know for one I'd be quite ecstatic to be able to have it.
